A glamorous Chinese restaurant in Manchester has launched a new bottomless brunch and, by our calculations, it might just be one of the most expensive in the world.
Glitterati favourite Tattu, based in Spinningfields, has revealed the menu for its new Sunday event a Tribe of Tattu brunch – set to run on every bank holiday in April and May – ahead of its launch on 30 April.
Frequented by celebs such as Coleen and Wayne Rooney, Michelle Keegan, Lucy Fallon and Stephanie Waring, the restaurant’s swanky new May bank holiday bottomless brunch offers guests three courses for £47.50, with more optional add-ons bringing its potential food total to a whopping £82.50.
Add on to that various drinks packages priced at £50, £28.50 and £20 respectively, and the most expensive option totals somewhere up to £115.50 and £132.50 a head.
The steep price puts Tattu’s brunch firmly amongst the world’s ten most expensive bottomless brunches, outstripping the Michelin-starred Blue Bay brunch in Monaco with bottomless glasses of Moët et Chandon vintage 2013 (£120), and The Waldorf Astoria’s famous bottomless brunch in New York (£100).

Dish choices, that said, do sound stunning. Options on Tattu’s new brunch menu include the likes of chicken truffle shumai, tuna sashimi blossom and salt & pepper loin ribs for starters, followed by mains of red snapper tom yum or wok fired chicken and steamed jasmine.
Optional ‘stage two’ menu add-ons, meanwhile, include a mouthwatering caramel soy-aged black wagyu beef fillet (£18), and Shanghai black cod with hoisin, ginger and lime(£17).
The brunch is then finished off with a stunning ‘Cherry Blossom’ dessert with white chocolate, cherry and candyfloss, bringing the restaurant’s famous sakura trees to life on the plate.
Drinks packages are then added on separately, with the most expensive option – a freely flowing champagne package of Laurent Perrier Brut – priced at £50 per person.
Alternatively, guests can opt for the signature package offering a selection of non-stop cocktails including Skull Candy (Crystal Head vodka, candy and lemon) and Koko Tattu (Bacardi, coconut and lime) for £28.60 per person.
There is also a non-alcoholic bottomless drinks package on offer with two virgin mocktails – a virgin Mountain Spritz (Everleaf Mountain, Lavender and bubbles) and Sweet Skullduggery (Kiwi, blueberry and apple) – to choose from.
Running at Tattu on Bank holiday Sundays throughout April and May, the menu does not state how long the drinks packages run for.
However, staff at Tattu told The Manc that it all depends on how big your group is: so a table of two would enjoy 1 hour and 45 minutes of endless drinks, whilst a table of three or four would be given two hours of bottomless booze ‘and so on’.

Asked how long a larger group of eight would be given to enjoy their endless champagne or cocktails, The Manc was informed it would be 2 hours and 45 minutes.

Inside Manchester’s new padel club with a Pot Kettle Black cafe and courtside cocktail bar
Daisy Jackson
Padel is the fastest-growing sport in the world, and it’s really picking up speed in Manchester now too with another city centre club opening this month.
The Pollen Club is a little different to the others, in that it’s fully undercover and protected from Manchester’s less-than-favourable weather.
And another thing that makes it a must-visit is the cafe attached to it – a third site for the beloved Pot Kettle Black.
The Pollen Club and Pot Kettle Black have both taken over a prominent city centre spot just off Deansgate, at the foot of the recently-opened Treehouse Hotel.
There are two state-of-the-art padel courts inside, with a mezzanine terrace for enjoy Pot Kettle Black’s offerings.
In summer, there are plans to launch a bar downstairs too, where you can sip spritzes courtside from loungers and swing seats.
The exciting new Manchester padel club will host pop up events, DJ takeovers and an extended evening food offering.

And even if you’re not heading inside The Pollen Club, Pot Kettle Black has a grab-and-go hatch facing onto Blackfriars Street, making their delicious coffees, sandwiches and pastries (from their own bakery Half Dozen Other) even more accessible.
Commenting on the opening of the new site, Pot Kettle Black co-owner, Mark Flanagan said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to have opened our third Pot Kettle Black site at The Padel Club. This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team.
“After ten years in the city we’ve been enjoying seeing some familiar faces stopping by for a coffee and we can’t wait to get started on our programme of summer events!”

Manchester’s late-night sweet treat spot Insomnia Cookies is dishing out freebies this week… but there’s a catch.
You have to be called one of two specific names to get one.
With the long bank holiday weekend upon us, those in-the-know will also have noticed that this Sunday isn’t just Easter Sunday, it also happens to be 4/20… and that means Insomnia Cookies is back with its ‘blazing’ £4.20 deal, giving you the chance to bag a box of four warm cookies while saving nearly £7 at the same time.
But even better still, if you happen to have either the first or middle name ‘Mary’ or ‘Jane’, then you can also get yourself a warm tasty cookie for free.
To mark both 4/20, and celebrate the launch of its newest strain of mouthwatering cookie, the Mary Jane, anyone called Mary or Jane can pop into either of Insomnia Cookies’ two Manchester city centre sites – Cross Street and University Green – show their valid ID with their name on, and walk alway with a cookie free of charge.
If you want to try the new Mary Jane cookie, then this limited-edition special is made up of a cookies n cream dough base, packed with rainbow sprinkles.
The freebie deal has been running all week, and you have up until 3am on Monday 21 April to take advantage of it.
Customers will be limited to one free cookie per day.

If you aren’t lucky enough to be called one of those two names though, then thankfully you can still make some great savings on a classic four-pack of cookies over the spring bank holiday weekend, and for every four-pack sold, £1 will be donated to Groundwork – a charity helping make Manchester greener for nature and for local people.
“We’re calling for Marys and Janes to join us to live the high life with free cookies all week,” commented Millie Ralston, Head of Marketing at Insomnia Cookies.
