I decided to make a list of things that I wanted to do as Lockdown lifts and let's just say a lot of my ideas involved alcohol. I think I've only been for a couple of bottomless brunches in the past so I wanted to look into which restaurants were offering them and how they differed. Here's what I found out:
I'm going here soon so will do a review! You'll find Rev de Cuba right in the centre of Newcastle not far from the train station in the Cloth Market. The cocktails are amazing here and I love the bright colour scheme!
Drinks wise there's a lot of choice - Aperol Spritz (that's what I'm going for), Prosecco, Bloody Mary, Strawberry Daiquiri, Spanish Shandy (lemon beer), Mahou pints (beer) and Love Daiq-tually cocktail. The drinks will keep coming for ninety minutes. Brunch dishes include a traditional Full English, Chorizo hash, Cubano Benedict (pulled pork) and Breakfast Burrito (with sausage, bacon and chorizo). Vegetarian options include Avocado Brunch (sourdough topped with guacamole and mango salsa) and Sweetcorn Fritters.
The costs changes depending on the time slot you choose - 11am/11.30 am is £30, 12pm/12.30pm/1pm is £25 and 1.30pm/2pm is £30. Available seven days a week.
