A cafe in Doncaster has created the UK's biggest full English breakfast, piling a huge platter high with classic fry-upfavourites like black pudding, bacon, sausages, baked beans, and fried bread.
The Shepherd's Place cafe near Doncaster is known for its huge plates at the best of times, and now the kitchen has created this monstrously epic full English breakfast - which they're calling the ‘UK’s biggest English breakfast.’

Laden down with 150 items, the £50 breakfast includes 15 jumbo Lincolnshire sausages and rashers of back bacon, 15 slices of black pudding, 15 slices of toast and fried bread with butter, 15 portions of mushrooms, 15 hash browns, 15 fried eggs, 15 portions of baked beans and 15 portions of tinned tomatoes.
Named the ‘Terminator Armageddon, this isn't just a breakfast - it's a big old challenge.
The ginormous full English costs £50, but if you manage to clear your plate within a given time limit of an hour the cafe owners will give you your money back. Winner winner, breakfast for dinner.

Situated on a farm, as you might've guessed from the name, the Shepherd's Place cafe is surrounded by rare breeds of goats, tortoise, donkeys, and more which you can also stroke and pet on your visit.
It also boasts a fantastic 7000sq ft indoor play area, perfect for keeping the little ones busy whilst you devour their massive breakfast. Complete with a jungle gym, obstacle course and miniature football goals, it's a proper playtime haven on a rainy day.
Situated in the town of Haxey just outside of Doncaster, Shepherds Place Farm is reportedly planning to enter the breakfast in the Guinness World Book of Records - or so farm owner Ted Phillips told The Independent.
it looks so good, we think we're going to head over and give it a go. If you're tempted too, share your pictures with us @thehootleeds - we'd love to see how you get on with the mammoth breakfast challenge.
An independent açai bowl pop-up is opening a permanent cafe in Leeds city centre.
It seems the açai bowl trend isn't over just yet, and we're absolutely not mad about it.
The aesthetically purple frozen treat isn't just delicious, but is also known to have numerous health benefits making it guilt-free and the perfect post-workout pick me up.
You may remember Açai Social Club that opened as a pop-up in the Victoria Quarter last year, and now they're moving into a permanent spot in the city centre.
Run by a lovely husband and wife duo who have spent the last 15 months exploring cafes around the world, it's safe to say they know exactly what they're talking about.
Their açai is made with the very best ingredients, topped with the freshest fruit and sprinkled with their homemade granola - it doesn't get much better then that does it?
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, they said: "Açai Social Club is getting a home. Our very first store is officially on the way! We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a space that’s more about than just açai.
"What started as an idea is finally becoming something you can walk into…There’s still a lot we’re keeping under wraps for now, but we’re so excited to finally share the beginning of what’s to come.
"We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you in. Your new neighbourhood social club, coming soon."
The exact location of the cafe and its opening date is still under wraps, but we'll of course keep you updated as and when we find out.

Clementine Hall
We hope you're ready for your workout, because FaceGym has landed in Leeds.
You may be wondering...what on earth is Facegym? And to be fair, you've got a point.
FaceGym, as they themselves describe it, a 'non-invasive fitness studio concept for the face' using high-intensity facial massage, hand manipulation, and electrical muscle stimulation technology to tone, lift, and sculpt the face without surgery.
Sounds pretty fancy if you ask us, and it feels just as fancy from the moment you step through the door.

Unsurprisingly, it's loved by celebrities worldwide who are looking to get snatched and ditch their gua sha.
Currently occupying five standalone stores in London, one in Cambridge as well as a pop-up in Space NK in Selfridges Manchester, FaceGym will be opening this Friday 18 September inside the coveted Victoria Gate, taking over a 1,772 square foot studio.

The space really does look like a gym, ditching the standard beauty salon aesthetic for an American-style gym interior complete with the iconic red FaceGym balls all over the place.
A signature sculpt costs £110 for a 45 minute treatment, so it's definitely a treat if you're looking to have skin that can reflect the sun and cheekbones for days.
