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 Plere, Chorlton’s sunniest new bar with great wines and tinned fish
Daisy Jackson
Chorlton’s sunniest street has a new addition, with the arrival of wine bar and small plates restaurant Plere.
The new opening comes from couple Lee and Fiona, who’ve taken up a unit on Beech Road that’s been vacant for a few years and turned into a beautiful, light-flooded neighbourhood venue.
Plere takes its name from the Latin term ‘to fulfill’, and that’s exactly what this new spot has been doing ever since its arrival last month.
Plere’s menu is made up of easy small plates, including charcuterie and cheese plates, Portuguese tinned fish, and hummus, all served with quality bread from Holy Grain.
There’s a decent selection of craft beer too, including their own lager on draught in collaboration with Cloudwater, and tonnes of different wines available by the glass.

There pavement terrace is a proper little sun-trap too, so it’s perfect for enjoying a pint or two in the Manchester sun.
With DJs spinning vinyls until late across the weekend and a solid team on the bar, this is a new opening you should get behind.
On launch weekend, Lee and Fiona wrote: “We are completely overwhelmed by all the lovely comments and amazing responses from you all on our opening weekend.
“Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome, we look forward to seeing you soon.”
The cosy Peak District pub serving a pick’n’mix sausage and mash menu

There’s a Peak District pub that’s turned one of Britain’s most beloved comfort foods into a full-on pick’n’mix.
Tucked away in the postcard-perfect village of Castleton, Ye Olde Nags Head is serving up a fully customisable menu of sausage and mash dishes.
We’re talking near-endless combinations of proper pub grub.
You start by choosing your sausages from a daily rotating selection (not a sentence you hear every day, but we’re into it).
Expect classics like Cumberland alongside more adventurous options like venison and mustard, or even wild boar and orange, plus a veggie sausage daily.
Then it’s onto the mash – you can go for flavours like cheese and onion, wholegrain mustard, or even black pudding mash.

To finish? A choice of rich, hearty gravies and sauces to bring it all together, whether that’s a classic onion gravy, a peppercorn sauce, or a creamy wild mushroom sauce.
And if that wasn’t enough, you can even upgrade your bangers and mash pick’n’mix by having it all served inside a giant Yorkshire pudding.
Ye Olde Nags Head is a historic 17th-century pub, with a roaring fire in every room and cosy bedrooms upstairs.

It’s one of those flagstone-floored, beamed-ceilinged, mismatched-furniture type pubs that welcomes everyone in every state, whether you’re caked in mud from a hike or popping in on a coach tour.
Another of the pub’s specialties is the Derbyshire Breakfast, a hearty plate of sausage, smoked bacon, black pudding, free range egg, grilled tomatoes, field mushrooms, baked beans and fried bread.
The pub also offers takeaway breakfast butties, so you can use it for both a pre-hike stop and a post-hike pint.
Given it’s just minutes from the ever-popular Mam Tor hike, this is one pub you’ll definitely want to add to your next Peak District day out itinerary.
