A bar in Leeds is throwing a mega bottomless brunch party for the Love Island 2021 final and it sounds amazing.
There'll be a Love Island-themed playlist, a villa-themed menu, and free-flowing drinks to help you get the party started in proper Love Island style - plus a huge screen to watch the last episode on together.
If you've been hooked for the last eight weeks, then this is a mega way to see the series out on a high.
Serving up fun dishes that nod towards popular sayings on the show, the banter here starts from the off as you get stuck into treats like 'What a melt' wrap, 'come for a chat' chicken and the hilairiously-named 'doing bits' burger.

It's not all gimmicks, though, the food does sound pretty decent too. There's a plant-based 10" Moving Mountains vegan hotdog loaded with vegan cheese, pickles, mustard, ketchup and jalapenos for the vegans, a Majora sunshine power bowl for those on a health kick, and a fun fish and chips twist with Katsu curry for those who just want to go all out on the carbs.
And that's not all. There are also some 'Casa A'More options' to be found here too - ranging from a 'coupling up' chicken katsu curry to a 'factor 50 frites' dish of sliced fillet steak, skin-on sweet potato fries, melted cheese, garlic, mushrooms and peppercorn sauce.
Elsewhere, further tempting options include the 'Chaldish' chicken with smoky maple and chorizo glazed half chicken, creme fraiche and skin-on fries, and a 'My type on paper' platter of loaded nachos, sticky chicken skewers, halloumi fries and salt and pepper calamari.
We think you'll agree, it all sounds pretty mega. Add in a nail-biting Love Island finale and some free-flowing drinks, and it looks set to be one of this summer's most raucous events.
Drinks choices range from everyone's favourite party cocktail, the Aperol Spritz, to pints of Coors and glasses of prosecco.
There's also a special Love Island 'Moving Mad' cooler, made from gin, mint, St. Germain, elderflower and prosecco; and listed in the T&Cs you'll find some more spritz options too: ranging from flavours like orchard apple to wild berry and orange blush.
Priced at £29.95, tickets include your entry, bottomless drinks, and one dish from the brunch menu.

Leeds pizza shop hailed ‘exceptional’ and ‘best in the UK’ by major reviewer
A Leeds pizza takeaway has received a glowing review from popular review duo.
Edges Pizza opened up their first permanent spot in Leeds back in June this year, after making a name for themselves slinging out pizzas at multiple pop-ups across the city.
Owners Grace and Edge from Harrogate opened Edges Pizza two years ago, taking inspiration from trips to New York over the years.

Their pizzas are a love letter to the class New York slice, think thin and crispy rather than chewy and floppy. But above all else, think absolutely delicious.
And now, they've caught the attention of a major review page, with Bite Twice Food Reviews (a page with almost 300k followers) paying Edges a visit.
The food review duo of Gerry del Guercio and Paul Delany popped up in Holbeck beneath the arches to get their hands on a pizza, and the outcome is brilliant.
In the video, Bite Twice said that the pizza is 'f**cking exceptional' and up there with 'one of the best pizzas in the UK'.
Before even taking a bite, they said: "On aesthetic, I don't think anywhere in the UK is doing pizza like this".

Then after the first bite, they go on to say: "There are very few pizzas in the UK that create this, I’m a little bit blown away".
As Londoners themselves, they go on to say that Edges is 'easily hitting with the best that we’ve got down south'.
And if that's not high praise enough, they sign off the video saying: "Leeds has got an absolute gem. I give this a stamp so hard my foot went through the pizza. Edges. Don Level."
Yorkshire-set Christmas film by Leeds director starring Richard E. Grant set to hit UK cinemas next month
Clementine Hall
A brand-new Christmas film is hitting cinemas nationwide next month - and it’s a proper Leeds success story.
Jack Spring directed his first feature film at just 19 years old and has spent the last decade carving out a career in independent film, as well as co-founding Leeds-based production company Shush Films.
His first movie, Destination: Dewsbury, was shot just down the road in - you guessed it - Dewsbury. And after moving to Leeds from Grimsby, Jack became determined to build his business from the city, putting down roots and growing his production company here.

Now, after years of working on independent projects, Jack has taken his biggest leap yet with a brand-new Christmas film, Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint.
Set in Yorkshire, Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint follows Aubrey Flint, a reclusive model soldier painter with a lifelong hatred of Christmas, who is sentenced to community service at Willow Lodge - a retirement home on the brink of closure.
Roped into helping with a chaotic production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Aubrey clashes with its interesting set of residents...
And the cast is about as star-studded as it gets, featuring Richard E. Grant, John Bradley, Celia Imrie, Adjoa Andoh, Sophia Di Martino, Adrian Rawlins and Kiell Smith-Bynoe.

The heartwarming festive comedy will hit cinemas nationwide on Friday 6 November - a huge milestone for a Leeds-based director and production company, taking a homegrown Yorkshire story to audiences across the country.
You just can't beat a proper wholesome British Christmas film, so you can best believe we'll be watching in the cinema, popcorn in hand.
