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.

Dishoom announces official opening date for new Leeds restaurant
Clementine Hall
It's the moment we've all been waiting for, Dishoom is coming to Leeds.
The whispers of Dishoom's arrival in Leeds city centre have been going on for a while now, but over the past few weeks it has started to feel very real.
Taking over the beautiful old Flannel's site on the coveted Vicar Lane, signs started to pop up for Dishoom and work was cracking on fast.
Well now, we have an opening date - and we don't have long to wait.
Dishoom Leeds will open on Monday 3 August, with guests being able to enjoy 50% off food during an initial soft-opening period, ahead of the official opening on Friday 14 August.

As with every Dishoom café, the Leeds restaurant begins with a story. This one takes inspiration from the extraordinary true events surrounding the explosion of the SS Fort Stikine in Bombay Dock in April 1944, a wartime disaster that sent gold bars flying across the city.
Legend has it that some of the missing gold was never recovered. Some was discovered embedded in walls and rooftops across Bombay. Other pieces quietly disappeared into the hands of lucky citizens, melted into bangles or hidden away in drawers.
Dishoom Leeds reimagines the fortune made from the gold bars and guests will discover subtle references to the glamorous mid-century details through the interiors and artwork, giving playful nods to Bombay’s golden age.
With all day dining available, guests can dine on the beloved breakfast right through to late evening feasting, with the café will serve a lovingly curated menu of Bombay comfort food inspired by the city’s cafés, grills, street stalls and family kitchens.
Shamil Thakrar, co-founder, also known as Head Babu, at Dishoom, said: “Leeds is a city with tremendous warmth, creativity and character, full of people who know the value of gathering together over good food and drinks. Bringing Dishoom here has long been a dream for us.”
"The story behind this café is rooted in one of Bombay’s most extraordinary moments – the day gold bars fell from the sky after the explosion of Fort Stikine in 1944. Amidst the tragedy and chaos, there were also tales of unexpected fortune, human resilience and hopeful reinvention. We were captivated by this, and we cannot wait to welcome Leeds into the café that pays homage to the heritage of Bombay.”
