This Leeds bar offers bottomless brunch during Leeds United matches

£25 for unlimited booze from kick off until the final whistle- what's not to love?

Sophie Smith Sophie Smith - 6th January 2022

Imagine watching your favourite team with unlimited pints of lager or cider.

Picture the scene. It's a Saturday afternoon and you couldn't get tickets to Elland Road, so you've decided to head into the city centre and watch the match from a sports bar.

Whilst some of the more expensive city side options will set you back £6+ a pint, others are cheap and cheerful- but still end up costing you more than you would have spent inside the bar inside Elland Road after all.

Luckily, Rebound Social on Wellington Street have devised one of the most genius bottomless brunches around that's perfect for watching the footy with.

The Leeds United match bottomless brunch is just £25 per person and gives you access to a full sized pizza per person and unlimited lager and cider for the duration of the game. From kickoff to finish and even in stoppage time, you can get those extra pints in without worrying about timing your rounds effectively, or how much you'll rack up on the bill.

The pizzas on offer are more than enough to line your stomach for a boozy session. Inspired by their motherland, choose from Italian classics like Roma with salami, mushrooms and chilli oil, the Little Italy pizza with cherry tomatoes, parma ham and Parmesan shavings, a classic Diavola with fresh chili, garlic and pepperoni and many more.

Alternatively if you want to visit outside of match times, or want a greater range of drinks to choose from, you can opt for the Rebound Social Bottomless Brunch served every Saturday and Sunday 12 - 5.30pm.

Choose from Rebound lager or cider, as well as Prosecco and selected cocktails like the house special 'I Swear It's Juice' juice, made from gin, St Germain elderflower liquor, strawberry puree and ting, as well as classic favourites like espresso and passionfruit martinis.

The same rules apply and there's a pizza for every brunch participant, in addition to ninety minutes of unlimited booze. What's not to love about that?

All bottomless brunches must be booked in advance and Leeds United bottomlesses must be checked with management in advance as the bar do not offer this deal on every single game. For more information, visit the Rebound Social website or pop into their bar on Wellington Street during opening hours.

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

Leeds Christmas Markets is returning to the city centre in just a weeks time, and we've got everything you need to know.

This year, the markets are looking a little bit different than before as outdoor events company Thor’s Tipi have stepped up as the all-new operators of this Christmastime spectacular.

They're organising a market where 'even if you’re not from Yorkshire, you’re going to leave being from Yorkshire'.

Although Leeds locals already know that Yorkshire is 'God's Own Country', the Leeds Christmas Markets team are making sure that the county is represented through its food, drinks and wider stalls.

So, let's get into it...

Opening dates and timings

The Leeds Christmas Markets will kick off from Thursday 19 November and run until Wednesday 23 December. So that's almost five weeks of festivities flooding the city, and plenty of time for you to make the most of it.

The markets will be open 7 days a week, the exact timings are:

The main stalls and street food will be located at City Square, here you will also find the main Christmas tree and two THOR's bars.

Ice Cube at Millennium Square will also be making a return, here you'll find rides, an ice rink and more food and drink. This is separate to what is being run by THOR's this year, though.

There will be plenty of other festive activities taking place throughout the city throughout November and December, you can find out more and view the Leeds Christmas map here.

Food

Okay, now we can get onto the good stuff.

We all know that the highlight of the markets is the food, and this year there's going to be more independent and local trader than ever before.

The charming French bistro that’s been a Leeds favourite for over 30 years

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

Tucked away from the bustling streets of the city centre you’ll find a Leeds institution that has been serving diners since 1991. 

You've probably walked past Sous Le Nez hundreds of times and not popped in.

But if we can convince you to do anything, it's to head down those unassuming stairs on Quebec Street and ask for a table.

Set in a cavernous basement, the space is full of nooks and crannies, and in a flash, you’ll be whisked away to the South of France with stellar service and white tablecloths to match.

Their food is classic French cuisine done to an excellent standard.

We're talking indulgent French onion soup, rich pan-seared duck breast, juicy rump steak with silky peppercorn sauce and moule-frites served in a sauce good enough for drinking.

And if the food isn't enough to get you excited, then wait until you hear about the wine list.

Featuring over 300 wines, you'll find a tipple to suit every taste and every flavour on the menu.

As well as its a la carte menu, they offers it's menu du soir which is available until 6:45pm on weekdays and on a Saturday lunch time.

Images: The Hoot Leeds

It includes three courses including half a bottle of excellent wine per person. I mean, you really can't get better value then that, can you?

More recently, renowned food critic Jay Rayner praised Sous Le Nez for its fabulous food and we couldn't agree more. And if it's good enough for Jay, then it's certainly good enough for us.

This is the sort of spot that is full of regulars no matter the time of day, whether they’re stopping by for a quick lunch or indulging in their evening menu - it’s no surprise they’ve been a firm Leeds favourite for over 30 years. 

You can find out more about Sous Le Nez and book your table here.
