Meat is Dead in Leeds has launched a bottomless brunch with huge pitchers of margarita and sangria, plus loads of tasty vegan dishes.
The all-vegan eatery, bar, and art space on Kirkstall Road caused a bit of a stir when it launched earlier this year, with lots of locals piling in to give their opinions on the venue's name.
In spite of the naysayers, it's become pretty damn popular - and now they've added another string to their bow with the introduction of this new bottomless brunch deal.

Giving diners the option of unlimited drinks to enjoy with their brunch dish, there are huge pitchers of margarita and sangria on offer alongside glasses of prosecco.
Brunch dishes, meanwhile, include the likes of pancakes, brunch on toast or the house's 'global bowl.'
Think three fluffy cinnamon pancakes, served with maple syrup, yogurt, and fresh fruit; two slices of sourdough bread, topped with avocado, garlic mushrooms, and homemade black and white beans; or a big bowl of beans, scrambled tofu, mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, hash browns, and avocado.

Whichever you go for, you're not going to leave hungry (nor sober, by the sounds of those pitchers).
Priced at just £25 per person, bookings must start at either 11 am or 1 pm and for that, you'll get an hour and a half at the table maximum.
Starting from Saturday 11 September, the new deal will get you 90 minutes of bottomless drinks and a plant-based brunch dish of your choice.
Announcing the new deal on their Instagram today, the venue said:

This much loved breakfast spot do one thing and one thing very well...egg sandwiches.
And it may be a familiar name to some of you lot, as Egg & Co recently opened up on bustling Deansgate in Manchester as well as inside Cambridge Street Collective in Sheffield.
This will be their first site in Leeds, though, and we're very 'eggsited' about it...sorry.
If you've got been introduced to the wonders of Egg & Co yet, then allow us to fill you in on what to expect.

From here, you’ll be able to grab their unbeatable breakfast sandwiches, where soft scrambled egg is piled into warm brioche buns.
There are a dozen or so breakfast butties on the menu here (yes, they do all feature egg), with other fillings ranging from beef patties to turkey bacon to caramelised onion.
And there’s more – sides here include truffle hash browns, curly fries, and chicken bites.
Of course it wouldn't be a breakfast spot without some caffeinated beverages as well, so we predict as with their Manchester site you'll be able to grab your morning coffee and matcha as well as freshly squeezed orange juice fresh enough to cure any hangover.
We don't know of the exact location yet, but we do know it'll be in Leeds city centre.

Teasing the news on their Instagram, Egg & Co said: "LEEDS, WE’RE ON OUR WAY. You heard it right. Eggandco is heading to Leeds!
"Same eggs. Same fresh sandwiches. Same Eggandco experience. Just a new city to call home."
Of course, in true Leeds fashion, supporters flocked to the comments to show their excitement and demanding an extra clue on the exact location.
Egg & Co are keeping this under wraps for now, but we'll keep you updated as and when we know more.
