Tabasco sauce, cheesy crumpets and a Bloody Mary- name a better hangover cure.
Picture the scene. It's a Sunday lunchtime and you've just rolled out of bed- or maybe you've just gone to get some shut eye. Whether you're sleep deprived or just plain hungover, nothing beats a good hangover cure to get you back to your usual equilibrium.
If you've ever walked into Springwell on a Sunday then you'll know that this is the only place you should be getting your hangover fix from.

Kerbside Kids got themselves a kitchen with the home of North Brew Co back in April 2021 and have been battling the aftermath of the night before since August with their specially-made 'Recovery Sundays' menu full of the best comedown cures around.
Think grilled cheese sourdough crumpets with kerbside beans, a fried egg, bloody Mary ketchup and Tabasco Sriracha sauce- and that's just the beginning.

If you need something a little more filling to get those electrolytes back, the brekkie burgers are your best bet. The Morning Glory burger is made up of a sausage patty with smoked streaky bacon and complete with a fried egg, hash brown and American cheese on an English muffin with HP or Heinz ketchup- making up an entire full English breakfast in one stack.
For serious hangovers, the Tabasco Benny Burger seems to be incredibly popular. Kerbside Kids firmly believe that Tabasco sauce is the way to kill any hangover, and so far nobody has challenged their hypothesis, so we’re assuming that they’re right.
For anyone craving a full English the day after the night before, but need an extra kick to get you going: a toasted sesame seed bun with smoked streaky bacon, sausage patty, American cheese and a poached egg with Tabasco Sriracha hollandaise, chilly crunch and chives is all you need.

There's also the likes of black pudding dirty fries on offer with sausage gravy, chopped streaky bacon, crumbled black pud and Tabasco Chipotle sauce with a fried egg and fries on offer, alongside the vegan friendly Avo Hash Smash with hash browns, double vegan American cheese or smashed avo, pico de gallo and an English muffin.
Of course, their Tater Tots are still available and come as a regular portion, fiery option or with truffle parmesan.
If you're more of a hair of the dog drinker, or just don't want the party to end 'just because it's a Sunday', you can get your boozy fix from Kerbside Kids- they are based in a brewery after all. There's Bloody Marys aplenty and Mimosas available for those brave enough to drink on a delicate stomach, or Sangria topped with a piñata too.

Of course, there's plenty of coffee available too if you just want to sober up and feel like a normal human being without the headache again.
The hangover-curers are also set to open up for delivery, using Deliveroo, this year too. Kerbside Kids stated on Instagram "Burgers all Friday and Saturday @springwelllds Burgers on Deliveroo Weds-Sunday from January. Hunting for a city centre spot, if you know anywhere with a kitchen holla us. But yeah that’s happening, so see ya Sunday for an all day Brunch ting. Will be mixing things up with the menu in the new year but this legend will live forever".
To get your Recovery Sunday fix, you'll find Kerbside Kids at Springwell in Leeds. The venue is open 11am - 9pm, but timings for Kerbside Kids may vary slightly from this. If you're after a non-hangover burger, their regular menu is available every Friday and Saturday at the same location.

Claire’s shutting down all standalone shops in UK and Ireland
In another hit to the high streets, Claire's Accessories is shutting up shop across the UK and Ireland after entering into administration yet again.
Falling into an unfortunate financial status for the second time in less than a year, Claire's will be shutting down all of their standalone stores across Britain, along with their IE branches.
A total of 154 stores will soon disappear, with more than a thousand people set to be put out of work.
Once a mainstay up and down the country, the accessory shop known for all things jewellery, piercings and more has ceased trading effective immediately.
Announced at the start of the week and the end of the first full month of Q2, it was confirmed that Claire's closed their final locations on Monday, 27 April.
With administrators, Kroll, appointed to wrap up business proceedings, an estimated 1,300 English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh workers have now lost their jobs.
Founded in America way back in 1961, Claire's has enjoyed a presence across the Atlantic for more than three decades.
However, with various other contemporaries and cheaper online options having appeared over the years, they've struggled not just to remain profitable but to compete full stop.
They filed for bankruptcy in the US in August 2025 after having already concluded operations in Spain, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
For many, the outcome isn't all that surprising, but it will nevertheless be a sad loss for many who have seen multiple generations visit these venues over the years.
Slam Dunk festival’s statement in full as director steps down amid allegations
Daisy Jackson
Slam Dunk festival has shared a statement confirming one of its directors has stepped down, in the wake of allegations.
The popular punk festival takes place next month across two sites, one of which is here in Leeds.
This year's line-up is set to include headline performances from the likes of Good Charlotte, Knocked Loose, Sublime, and Taking Back Sunday.
But Slam Dunk has been hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons this week after allegations against one of its directors came to light.
Slam Dunk said in its statement, which did not get into specifics about the nature of the allegations, that the festival 'remains committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all employees, partners, and customers'.
They added that the director has stepped down, but 'strongly refutes' the allegations.
The statement then promised 'transparency and honesty' and said that more updates would be provided when appropriate.
Slam Dunk wrote: "We are aware of allegations published yesterday relating to one of our directors. We take these allegations seriously and understand that they may be distressing and hard to process for our community.
"Our Slam Dunk fans, staff, and artists are, as always, our top priority.
"While he strongly refutes these allegations, the director in question has agreed, in consultation with the board, to step down from Slam Dunk operations while this matter is ongoing.
"Slam Dunk remains committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all employees, partners, and customers.
"Our values and culture are fundamental to how we operate, and we are committed to upholding them.
"It would be inappropriate for us to comment further on an ongoing legal matter.
"However, we promise transparency and honesty to our Slam Dunk community and will provide updates when it is appropriate to do so."
Slam Dunk returns to Temple Newsam in Leeds on Sunday 24 May.
