A Spice Girls-themed karaoke bottomless brunch is arriving atCookridge Street, Leeds this September and we know you Wannabe there.
Perfect for any 90s pop fan who fancies singing along to the iconic girl band’s greatest hits, this bottomless karaoke brunch promises it all: from free-flowing cocktails to the songs of your childhood on repeat, plus tasty brunch dishes to boot.
It’s been a long time coming, but now that the government’s roadmap seems to be well on its way we can finally get excited for this mega event.
Set to be "full of fun and madness", attendees at each 90-minute session are encouraged to get into the spirit of the 90s girl band and come dressed to impress by channeling their favorite Spice GIrl.
Of course, the singalong sessions are set to be the main event - but the combination of great songs, brilliant 90s outfits and unlimited drinks like aperol spritz, Ketel V&Ts, prosecco, Amstel, Heineken 0.00% and bloody marys pretty much guarantee this party is going to go off.
Brunch dishes, meanwhile, span the likes of fluffy American pancakes topped with blueberries, banana and Nutella chocolate spread; smashed avocado on toast with hot sauce, tomatoes and chilli flakes; and two different brunch grills that bring together all the best elements of a tradiional English fry up.
There's good options for vegans, veggies and those with a gluten free diet, so no matter your preferences you're sure to be well catered for here. And for those who don't feel like going bottomless, there is also a selection of soft drinks on offer.
Taking place on Sunday, 5 September, ticket prices start from £25 for food and entry with the bottomless drinks package just an additional £15 on top. For 90 minutes of free-flowing cocktails, beers and wines, that's not too shabby in our opinion.
