Often run alongside the F1, with an F1 rig in the venue where guests can race the weekend’s track on, or with the football on the big screens, this is a perfect bottomless brunch for sports lovers.
Dish-wise, think grilled cajun chicken fries loaded with cheddar cheese, jalapenos, salsa, chipotle and crispy onions; breakfast burritos stuffed with chorizo, pico de gallo, peppers, cheese, scrambled egg and jalapeno; or a classic burger and fries with cheddar cheese, maple-smoked bacon, pickles, salad, burger sauce and sweet onion marmalade.

Elsewhere, you’ll find homemade pancake stacks drenched in maple syrup and topped with bacon, covered in Nutella, strawberries and whipped cream, or served simply with fresh fruit and a summer fruit compote.
There’s also a ‘Grandad’s Brioche’ using Manchester-made Grandad’s sausages and a fried egg, as well as vegan options including a plant-based burger and bratwurst, both served with fries.
Or, if you really want to live your best picky tea life, you can opt for either panko chicken tendies, halloumi dippers or cajun fried chicken with fries.
As for drinks, the range on offer is pretty huge with pornstar martinis, pink and lemon Hooch, pina coladas, brambles, passionfruit bellinis and mimosas all featuring on the bottomless list.
If that’s not doing it for you, though, there’s also pints of house lager and glasses of prosecco available alongside the vast cocktail range.
Served all afternoon on the weekends, to find out more and book your table, visit Joshua Brooks website here.

New flights to magical Christmas Market city launch from Manchester
Daisy Jackson
A new route from Manchester that will whisk passengers away to a world-famous Christmas Markets city has launched.
EasyJet is now jetting off to Nuremberg from Manchester Airport, opening up a brand-new direct route to Bavaria’s second city.
The pretty German destination is famed across the globe for its traditional Christmas Markets, as well as its medieval architecture, rich history, and Franconian food and drink.
The Nuremberg Christmas Market has just been named among the cheapest in Europe too, with mulled wine usually costing around £3.85 (compared to the £5.50 of Manchester Christmas Markets last year).
And with return flights from just £64 per person, it actually might be a cheaper way to join in the festivities than celebrating on home turf.
Nuremberg is the second-largest city in Bavaria, behind Munich, and boasts a beautiful and walkable old town that makes it an ideal choice for a short break.
The world-famous Christmas Market – known here as Christkindlesmarkt – dates back centuries and spills out across the city’s picturesque Hauptmarkt square with traditional wooden stalls selling handcrafted gifts, decorations and festive treats.
You’ll also find traditional winter food and drink like Gluhwein, roasted almonds, and gingerbread, soundtracked by live choirs and carol singers.
And don’t miss Drei im Weggla, the city’s famous chipolata-sized grilled pork sausages that are typically served three at a time in a crusty bread roll, then topped with sauerkraut and German mustard.

You can also explore attractions here like the Nuremberg Castle, perched high above the city, with panoramic views across the Old Town, then wander some of Europe’s best-preserved city walls and cobbled streets.
Stephen Turner, Chief Commercial Officer at Manchester Airport, said: “We’re proud to connect people from across the North with the destinations they want to travel to – so it’s incredibly exciting to see easyJet launching direct flights to Nuremberg from Manchester, just in time for the city’s iconic Christmas markets.
“This service makes us the only UK airport outside London with a direct connection to Bavaria’s second city.
“Nuremberg is a hotbed of German culture, history, cuisine and architecture – there’s so much to explore within the city and we’re sure it’ll prove extremely popular with travellers from Manchester.”

Kevin Doyle, easyJet’s UK Country Manager, said: “We’re really pleased to be celebrating the launch of our first flight from Manchester to Nuremberg today and welcoming customers onboard our newest route from the North West.
“Nuremberg is a fantastic addition to our network and an ideal destination for a winter city break, from its famous Christmas markets to its fascinating history and medieval architecture.
“The launch further expands the choice we offer our customers from Manchester, providing even more great-value connectivity across Europe and beyond.”
Flights from Manchester to Nuremberg will operate twice per week until early January 2027, on Mondays and Fridays, with return fares from only £64pp.
