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.

An intimate Japanese katsu bar with only 15 seats is coming to Leeds city centre
Clementine Hall
Chef Fern is taking on another venture, and this time it's all about Katsu.
If you know anything about the Leeds food scene, then you'll know the absolute legend that is Chef Fern.
Her first restaurant, Fern Modern Sushi, is a firm favourite amongst locals and visitors alike. Known for their expertly crafted sushi made with only the freshest fish on offer.
Nestled in the Central Arcade, this hole-in-the-wall restaurant captured the hearts of many foodies since opening in 2024.
This year, Chef Fern set her sights on another restaurant on Vicar Lane.

Tori Nori opened just a couple of months ago, a modern Japanese grill centred around the fiery robata where guests can watch the chefs cook everything from grilled fish to delicious yakitori skewers right in front of their very eyes.
Unsurprisingly, Tori Nori has also been a huge hit.
But there's just no stopping Fern as she goes on to open yet another restaurant in the city centre.
Introducing O Katsu, an intimate restaurant with only 15 covers serving premium katsu.
Katsu is basically a breaded, deep-fried piece of meat, seafood or vegetables. Served with steaming hot rice, shredded cabbage, miso soup and dipping sauces, it's nothing short of delicious and a popular meal enjoyed in Japan.
We don't know much abut the opening just yet, but what we do know is that it'll be located just opposite her first restaurant in the Central Arcade.
There will be no bookings, and the space will feature an open kitchen so guests can watch the magic happen.
One things for sure, if Chef Fern is involved you just know it's going to be brilliant. We'll keep you updated on the opening of O Katsu as and when we find out.
