There's a restaurant in Leeds doing a bottomless brunch with pies and we are so absolutely here for it.
Pieminister on Duncan Street is well-loved around the city for their thick, chunky pies.
They are typically served on a bed of hot and creamy mashed potatoes and slathered in homemade gravy but, as of this summer, the restaurant has switched things up with the introduction of a new bottomless brunch offering.
Yes, we're talking brunch pies.
Brunch pies filled with all the good bits of an English breakfast, combined with all the good bits in, well, a classic pie. Suffice to say, Pieminister isn't messing about here.

Whether you're a meat lover, a veggie, vegan, or flexitarian, there's something to suit - with a selection of four new brunch pies on the menu.
We're talking just £11.50 for a brunch pie, or £25 for ninety minutes of bottomless drinks; with some great cocktails choices like Aperol spritz, mimosa and bloody marys sitting alongside fizz and beer.

All come topped with garlic confit-style potatoes, crispy kale, and vine tomatoes, and are served with smoky baked beans on the side - and you can also 'add a stick' of pigs in blankets, fried halloumi, or vegan sausages for just another £1.50 to really go the extra mile.
Brunch pie choices include the 'Morning Glory,' filled with free-range sausage and bacon pie, with cheesy bechamel sauce and a baked egg; and the veggie alternative 'Sunny Pie Up,' loaded with rosemary vegetarian sausages, red onion, bechamel, and baked egg.
If that's not for you, though, there's also the 'Bangin' Bean Skillet,' comprised of smoky baked beans, halloumi, and baked egg, or the the 'Vegan Banger - which is essentially the same as the other two pies, but in vegan form with vegan sausage, vegan cheese and vegan bechamel.
An absolute steal of a bargain, for £25 not only will you leave full of pie you'll also get a good number of drinks - as many as you can muster in the ninety-minute window.

One of Leeds' most loved late-night bars announced it would be moving on from its current location after more than a decade.
Known for its eclectic party atmosphere, fabulous cocktails and fun DJs, Wax has long been a go-to spot for Leeds night owls looking for a big night.
The New Briggate bar has built up a loyal following over the years, becoming something of an institution on the city’s nightlife scene.
A couple of months ago, Wax has announced that it would be moving location, bringing an end to an era at its current home at the top of town.
Or so we thought, as they have now revealed their new location and it's only three minutes up the road!

The brand-new Wax will be located at 5 Cross Belgrave street, next to Belgrave Music Hall and Grounded and Co. So you can rest assured that they'll be in very good company.
Announcing the exciting news to Instagram, Wax Bar said: "So here we go folks...venue reveal...if you hadn't managed to get it out of us already.
"We are excited to announce that as of the near future, 5 Cross Belgrave will be our new home. Only a 3 minute walk away from our current abode, nestled inbetween Belgrave Music Hall, Grounded and Co and Teppanyaki.
"As you can see there's still lot's of work to be done on the place so no moving date as of yet."
The space is already looking great, and we can't wait to see what they do with the place. We'll keep you updated with an opening date as and when we find out.
But for now, you can still party at the original Wax on New briggate.
Slam Dunk Festival reveals first wave of acts for 2027 festival
Clementine Hall
Slam Dunk Festival is back with another belting lineup.
Slam Dunk, the UK's biggest independent rock festival, has unveiled its first wave of artists - and its a lineup to get very excited about.
Hot on the heels of a milestone 20th anniversary this summer, the festival kicks off with Bowling For Soup, Simple Plan, Killswitch Engage, Beartooth, Sleeping With Sirens, The Used and The Front Bottoms topping the bill.
This time, Slam Dunk is doing things a little bit differently, landing here in Leeds first at Temple Newsam on Saturday 29 May before closing the weekend at Hatfield Park on Sunday 30 May 2027.
Leading the festival are two of pop punk’s biggest festival favourites. Bowling For Soup return following a memorable 2023 appearance, whilst Simple Plan will be rotating headliners, returning to Slam Dunk after 8 years and whose debut album No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls also turns 25.
Elsewhere, ska-punk favourites Reel Big Fish return to Slam Dunk for an exclusive UK reunion show, Less Than Jake are also back on the bill, bringing more than three decades of anthems with them, while The Interrupters join a formidable ska-punk showing and Isle of Wight punks Grade 2 bring a dose of old-school punk to the bill.
And it doesn't stop there, with even more names still to be announced to the already star-studded lineup.
