Sunday service is officially in full swing at Revolucion De Cuba after the bar and restaurant has announced it will be adding a 7-piece gospel choir to its weekend proceedings.
Every last Sunday of the month, the bar and restaurant will welcome the soulful New Freedom Gospel group down for an afternoon of uplifting gospel tunes.
Doors open at 11 am for bottomless brunch, with availability stretching until 2 pm. What's more, with loads of cocktails on the drinks choices, you'll be merry before you know it.
Pick from the likes of Aperol spritz, strawberry daiquiris and bloody marys, or opt for pints of Mahou, glasses of prosecco, or low-alcohol choices like their Spanish shandy and Disaronno fizz.
On the mains, meanwhile, tuck into classic brunch dishes like smashed avocado toast, chorizo hash and full English or opt for something a little different - like Rev's breakfast burrito, which comes stuffed with smoky sausage, bacon, omelette, chorizo, mozzarella and spicy tomato sauce.
Alternatively, further choices include the likes of their Cubano pulled-pork benedict or sweetcorn fritters, which come served with guacamole, a mango and chilli dressing and a fried egg.

As for sides, you can opt for tapas favourites like patas bravas or get stuck into the likes of cheesey Cuban and sweet potato fries.
And if bottomless brunch isn't for you, not to worry because Revs is also hosting a 2-4-1 cocktails and tapas offer to coincide with its new Sunday gospel service - so whatever you go for, you're sure to get a great deal.
Kicking things off from 26 September, the gospel choir will be bringing the soulful vibes all afternoon starting from 2 pm. After that, the event will take place every last Sunday of the month.

It's fantastic news for our city as Leeds has been crowned one of the best cities in the UK for foodies.
It's news that we've been pretty certain of for some time, but it's still nice to be recognised isn't it?
It comes from a new study carried out by credit card brand Aqua who analysed 30 major UK cities across a range of dining and social media metrics, including cuisine variety, restaurant availability, meal affordability, Michelin recognition and TikTok hashtag volumes.
Coming in at number on was, of course, London.

With 47 cuisines, 22.5 restaurants per 10,000 residents and 81 Michelin-starred establishments, the capital unsurprisingly continues to dominate the UK’s culinary scene.
But in at number two was our glorious city of Leeds, supported by the highest restaurant density in the study, with 38.5 establishments per 10,000 people, and strong affordability compared with cities in the south.

We will absolutely take that.
Other northern spots to feature on the list include Sheffield and Bradford in sixth and eighth place.
The top ten UK cities for foodies are:
London
Leeds
Nottingham
Edinburgh
Wolverhampton / Leicester
Sheffield
Birmingham / Glasgow
Bradford / Swansea
Preston
Milton Keynes
Here in Leeds we've got so many fabulous food spots, with new openings cropping up every month it's hard to keep track.
From the multi award-winning Bavette Bistro in Horsforth to the highly acclaimed indie Bundobust that started off in Leeds - you certainly won't find yourself hungry or at a loss for somewhere to eat here.
Sheffield amongst nine areas to be long listed for UK City of Culture 2029
Clementine Hall
It's big news for Sheffield as the city has officially been long listed to become the UK City of Culture in 2029.
It’s one of just nine places across the country to make the cut, alongside the likes of Blackpool, Portsmouth and Wrexham.
Winning the title could bring huge investment to Sheffield, thousands of visitors, and a massive spotlight on everything that makes our city special - and let’s be honest, Sheffield’s got plenty to shout about.
From music and film to art and grassroots creativity, culture runs right through this city, and it would be a huge achievement to receive this title.
So, what happens now? Each arena will now receive £60,000 to develop a full application with the aim to build a vibrant cultural programme by 2028.
The nine confirmed long listed locations are: Blackpool, Inverness-Highland, Ipswich, Middlesbrough, Milton Keynes, Portsmouth, Sheffield, Swindon and Wrexham.
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said: "For far too long, opportunity has not been shared equally across the country. The UK City of Culture and new UK Town of Culture competitions recognise the enormous contributions made by communities all over the UK who are all part of the story of who we are as a nation.
"I look forward to seeing what the nine long listed places have in store as they progress in the competition. I also urge any towns thinking about entering the UK Town of Culture competition to seize this opportunity and get involved. It’s a chance to show the country what makes them unique and shine a spotlight on their cultural offer, enriching the lives of local people."
Go on Sheffield, we're rooting for you big time. We can't think of a city more worthy.
