There are some Sunday mornings that appear just as messy as the night before.
Every Sunday helping anyone that had a little too much the night before to get back to their usual equilibrium, Alleycats in Chapel Allerton is putting on a spread that even the most hungover of your Saturday night crowd wouldn't refuse.
Best of all, it's called 'The Hungover Games'.
Whether you're looking for a full English or a Bloody Mary the day after the night before, there's something for everyone's weird hangover cures- and all for less than the price of a city centre cocktail.
For £10, Alleycats offers the sweet bitterness of fresh coffee by the jug, refreshing glasses of juice and pots of tea as unlimited servings so that you can take your anxieties from the bill and instead concentrate on achieving that post-hangover euphoria.

Also a bottomless serving each Sunday is Alleycat's selection of cereal, which comes in addition to any brunch dish of your choice- there really is every food and drink to rid your hangover in this spot.
For brunch, expect a carb-fuelled menu of big brekkies like the The Fat Cat with a sausage patty, streaky bacon, fried eggs, hash browns, barbecue sauce and toast. Alternatively, the Vote-4-Pedro Quesadilla combines all your favourite breakfast ingredients into a Mexican style wrap, whilst the Brekkie McBreakfast face piled the meat and carbs onto a bun/breadcake/barm slathered in butter.

Those in need of the hair of the dog (known here as the hair of the cat) can grab an espresso martini, Bloody Mary or Mimosa with their meal, whilst those with sweet cravings after a long night out can source Belgian waffles with bacon, maple syrup and ice cream: there really is something for every craving.
If you're not willing to pop along for a foodie fix, bring your own vinyl along and listen to it on repeat as part of the Hungover Games offerings: (maybe just be considerate to those with a headache when choosing your LP though).
For more information, visit the Alleycats Instagram page or pay the cafe a visit every Sunday to take full advantage of the Hungover Games menu 12-5pm every week.

Much loved independent homeware store finds new home after being closed for three months
After their sudden closure and disappearance from Leeds’ independent retail scene earlier this year, North Home have found a new location.
Homeware and interior lovers will remember the devastation that North Home's closure caused back in March.
The independent Nordic-inspired shop in Leeds' affluent Victoria Quarter was stacked to the brim with unique pieces from striking ceramics to stylish soft furnishings.
Well known amongst shoppers for their incredibly well-curated stock and great customer service, this was one of the best shopping experiences for homeware enthusiasts in the city.
Seriously, we've probably spent a good hour in here in awe of all the beautiful pieces.
Their closure in March was down to "increasing costs", stating that "Taking this step now gives us the opportunity to protect what we’ve built and focus on the future of the brand.
"We’ve loved being part of the Leeds retail community since 2020 and are incredibly grateful for the support we’ve received. We hope to share more about our plans soon."
And low and behold, they've stuck to their word as North Home have announced that they will be moving into Red Brick Mill over in Batley.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, North Home said: "We’re officially setting up a new space! Thanks for all your great suggestions and ideas.
"We’re super excited to start working with you on your interior design projects. Thanks to REDBRICK for their very warm welcome. Opening soon @redbrick_mill in Batley"
This new chapter marks an exciting fresh start for North Home, and we couldn’t be happier to see them back doing what they do best.
