There's unlimited pizza and a full bottle of Prosecco on offer- and that's before you've picked up the darts.
Saturdays are for bottomless brunchin' and in Leeds and whilst we really don't need another excuse to enjoy a boozy weekend in the centre, this one is tempting us in with bottomless pizza and Prosecco by the bottle.
That said, it's always a welcome surprise to have an activity to get involved in. Sometimes you just need something to kickstart an awkward first date, or sometimes it's just refreshing to have a laugh by messing around, rather than simply sitting round the table.
There's two hours of unlimited pizza to kick off the brunching experience every Thursday - Sunday, served up on giant paddles.
There's elite tier pizzas here and they're loaded with toppings and there's not a margarita in sight (unless that's what you want to order).
Think coppa salami with parmesan or tandoori chicken with chilli and yoghurt; or if you want to be really controversial there's, spicy 'nduja with caramelised pineapple and honey. Vegans needn't miss out: their pizza selection is packed with flavour and childhood favourites. A vegan chicken and potato waffle pizza topped with cherry tomatoes, fresh basil and tomato sauce can be served as many times as you wish.

Grab a slice with one hand and a dart with the other: this brunch club has the option to add a sampler of Social Darts. You'll have a full hour to throw darts to your heart's content in the oche.
Experience the new-age of darts: pioneered specially by Flight Club by designing their own form of tech-savvy, supercharged darts – working with their very own astrophysicist to create a unique patented dart tracking technology for their multiplayer games.
Each game can involve up to 12 players at a time here, and the tech has an inbuilt ‘instant’ scoring system meaning there’s no boring faffing about writing things down. And their ‘tournament tech’ can connect up to 150 players in the venue at once.
The Brunch Social at Flights Club also includes a full bottle of Prosecco per person in attendance and if that goes down too quickly, there's carafes of orange juice available from the bar. Plus if you're tee total or just don't want to drink, mocktails are also an unlimited option during your two-hour brunch sitting.

Split across two floors in Sovereign House, inside Flight Club is decked out in an homage to fairgrounds – right down to the horses you see on the carousel rides.
Tickets cost £30 per person and must be booked in advance to avoid disappointment. Given there's a full bottle of fizz, unlimited pizza brought by the paddle and the option to add a full hours of darts: it's definitely a great value-for-money option.

Because one Fern Modern Sushi wasn't enough, we've now got two.
And guess what? It's even better than the first.
Fern Modern Sushi located in the unassuming Central Arcade has become a firm foodie favourite after opening just a couple years ago.
Run by the wonderful Chef Fern, who you could say is somewhat of a local celebrity at this point, the restaurant is known for serving delicious sushi with the freshest fish possible and traditional Japanese dishes with modern flair.

Full with hungry punters no matter the time of day, it's no surprise that Chef Fern has just opened Fern Modern Sushi 2.0 on Park Row.
This beautiful new space is serving up all the classic Fern dishes, from stacked donburi bowls and perfectly rolled sushi to miso glazed cod and hearty bowls of ramen.

Different for this location, though, is their exclusive cocktail menu - so you can wine and dine to your heart's content.
The interior has also levelled up, complete with a huge open kitchen so you can pull up a chair and eat whilst watching the magic happen.

And this isn't all that Chef Fern is up to, after opening Tori Nori on Vicar Lane a few months ago this will be her third restaurant in the city centre, and that is no easy feat.
She's even got another restaurant imminently opening in the Central Arcade which will be focused on traditional katsu dishes, and we wouldn't be at all surprised if she had something else lined up in the pipeline.

Fern Modern Sushi 2.0 officially opens on 19 November, but is open now for soft launch with limited bookings.
A pub in Leeds has been crowned the third best in Britain by The Good Food Guide
Clementine Hall
A Leeds pub has been crowned one of the very best in the country by The Good Food Guide.
The trusted guide has just released its 100 Best Pubs in Britain list, and we're very chuffed with the results indeed.
Taking the coveted number three spot is our very own The Highland Laddie, a 100-year-old city centre institution that reopened in April 2025 in the hands of new owners Sam Pullan and Nicole Deighton.
These guys also run the Empire Cafe, so you just know it's going to be good.
Last year they soared straight to the top of the list and were crowned the best pub in the whole of Britain by the guide.

This time, the Queen's Arms over in Eccles came number one followed by The Cow in Notting Hill.
We still think bagging third place is quite the achievement, and if you've visited The Highland Laddie yourself you'll know just how much of a special place it is.
Don't just take our word for it, The Good Food Guide labelled the Laddie as 'a true pub with a genuine community vibe'.
They also said: "Reenergised by the team behind the Empire Cafe in 2025, this is everything that a proper English pub should be – 'oh, and they have a mustard menu!'
"Inside, the Laddie ticks all the boxes, preserving the essentials of a traditional old-school boozer and maintaining a genuine sense of community while letting the good times roll. As for the food, it’s ‘both high-end and accessible’, pulling in ideas from all over, whether you fancy a freshly shucked Lindisfarne oyster, a keema toastie or an elevated ham roll with bread cooked over the coals.
"Dig deeper and you might find a lobster madeleine with Yorkshire chorizo butter, a treacle onion tart or pork schnitzel with two fried eggs. Club steaks are served by the inch, there’s no creative let-up when it comes to sides, and the nostalgia is ramped up with the likes of strawberry and Champagne trifle with ‘sprinkles’.
"But never forget that this is a self-proclaimed ‘drinkers’ pub’ dispensing everything from ‘properly served’ British brews and ’the best Guinness in Leeds’ to a staggering line-up of whisky optics."
