It's no secret that Leeds loves a bottomless brunch - and we've found another that is sure to get you all excited.
Bottomless beer, free-flowing prosecco AND unlimited pizza? It sounds like a match made in heaven. After all, whilst unlimited drinks are a given on a bottomless brunch it tends to be a lot harder to find somewhere that will give you endless food too - but we've done it.
Running for 90 minutes, the bottomless offer at Cuckoo is priced at £20 but it can be upgraded to include cocktails like the Quackiri, raspberry Lynchburg and fruit punch for another £5. What an absolute bargain of a deal.

Food-wise, pizza topping choices range from the standard to the pretty funky - with some interesting topping selections that range from pork scratching and baked beans to nachos and marmite.
Feeling adventurous? Opt for their 'bah tat' pizza, comprised of ham, caramelised onion and pork scratchings; or try the 'love or hate' marmite base pizza topped with cheese and sundried tomatoes.
Or, play it safe with classic pizza toppings like the margarita, 'grande fuoco' (pepperoni, sundried tomatoes and chilli flakes, or the 'veg a lot' (halloumi, courgette, sundried tomatoes, butternut squash).

Elsewhere on the menu, you'll find more pizzas topped with nachos, pulled BBQ jackfruit, chicken and sweet chilli, chorizo and butternut squash, and a 'brunch at cuckoo' pizza loaded with baked beans, bacon, mushrooms and red or brown sauce (this can also be made vegan with some substitutions).
Given the fact that these are mini pizzas, you can really get stuck in and sample every different type if you so choose. At 6 inches each, we reckon it shouldn't be too hard to get through quite a few of these in a 90-minute sitting.
Available every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Cuckoo, find the restaurant and bar at 37 Call Lane. To find out more and book, visit their website here.

Leeds bakery crowned one of the best in the UK for second year running by The Good Food Guide
The Good Food Guide has released its annual list of the top bakeries across the UK – and one in Leeds has made the cut.
The prestigious guide has been travelling across the nation testing out the joy of British bakeries, from pastries to loaves to croissants to biscuits. What a tough job.
The Good Food Guide has said that the nation is going through something of a ‘modern baking boom’ and selected one spot locally that are doing it better than anyone else.
And that bakery is the fabulous Nova Bakehouse that is co-owned by sisters Sarah Lemanski and Hannah Mather.

Located on Leeds Dock, Nova Bakehouse is a beautiful sun drenched spot that serve up irresistible morning buns, chewy cookies and speciality loaves.
They focus on 'flavour forward baking' using seasonal ingredients to create monthly specials that'll have you going back time and time again.
It was the only Leeds spot to feature on the list, for the second year running might we add, but elsewhere in Yorkshire Haxby Bakehouse in York and Baker’s Yard Bakery in Sheffield are included.

Editor of The Good Food Guide, Chloë Hamilton, said: “Choosing just 50 winners was an almost impossible task given how diverse and highly skilled the British baking scene has become.
“From wood-fired sourdough in Perthshire to a central London café peddling pains au chocolat that take you straight to the streets of Paris, one thing uniting them all is sheer unadulterated deliciousness."
All of a sudden we're feeling pretty peckish for a croissant...what's your favourite bakery in Leeds?
Viral brunch cafe Acai and the Tribe is coming to Leeds city centre this spring
Clementine Hall
Leeds health nuts assemble, because acai bowls and superfood smoothies are coming to a city near you.
Incase you've been living under a rock for the past year or so, you may not be clued up on the whole acai bowl trend that has been sweeping up the nation.
Acai is a super berry grown and harvested in the Amazon rainforest, and not only is it absolutely delicious but it has a myriad of health benefits.
Acai and the Tribe first opened four years ago in Manchester, and ever since then it's only gone from strength to strength opening up three other locations across the country.

Next stop? Leeds. And we couldn't be happier about it.
So, what can we expect from this aesthetically-pleasing and ultra trendy female-owned business? Well, loaded acai bowls that look almost too good to eat, superfood smoothies, coffees, matcha and savoury options like avocado toast.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Acai and the Tribe said: "You asked, we listened. LEEDS… your new lifestyle arrives soon."
They will be opening on 88 Vicar Lane as part of the Vicar Lane regeneration scheme, which has already scene some great new restaurants being announced such as Sticks'n'Sushi and Dishoom.
It seems like this part of town is suddenly going to be the place to be, and we're very happy to see it.
We'll keep you updated with opening dates as and when we know more but for now, you can find out more about Acai and the Tribe here.
