The kitchen team at Cleaver are NOT messing around with this week’s specials 😏

We’ve got French toast stuffed with chocolate truffle mascarpone and drizzled with chocolate 🍫

Plus, we’ve switched out our usual sandwich special for a wrap - packed with lamb, halloumi, lime and coriander mayo, and sumac onions. (I’m drooling just writing this)

So… which one are you going for? Or are you having both? (We won’t judge 😉)

Pizza making at Cleaver is where it’s at this half-term 🍕

For £7.95, we’ll keep the kids entertained next week (and well-fed 😜). They’ll get to choose 3 toppings and get hands-on creating their masterpiece. We’ll then pop it into the pizza oven ready for them to enjoy.

And adults, we haven’t forgotten about you. We’ll have plenty of brunch dishes and specials available (plus we’re absolutely not judging if you fancy a cheeky cocktail while you’re here 🍹)

Pizza making will be available 11am–3pm, Monday 25th May – Friday 29th May. Gluten free & Vegan options available.

How good was Cowgirl Bottomless Brunch? 🤠

The drinks were flowing, we had line dancing, and @nicolabrownsinger was on the mic (and was absolutely incredible). We all had just as much fun as the guests! Plus, it was great to see so many of you making the most of Happy Hour in the bar afterwards.

Missed out or want to go again? We’re going to be making themed bottomless brunches a regular thing. Next up, we’re throwing it back to the 90’s on the 27th June, with a DJ spinning nostalgic tunes and your favourite (or maybe not… alcopops) 🍹

FREE miso glazed wings & fries? … yes please 👀

Every Friday from 5pm, we’re giving away bar snacks.

The catch?
There isn’t one. Just grab any drink at the bar (yes, even happy hour counts) and they’re yours.

Just don’t be late though… when they’re gone, they’re gone.
