Our favourite weekend pastime? Bottomless brunch! That’s why we’re introducing it on selected Big Weekenders. Whether you're looking to refuel after a night of partying or just fancy some bubbles with brekkie, head to The Diner for free-flowing drinks, throwback beats and delicious eats.  From just £32.50pp for 2023 weekenders and £37.50pp for 2024, you’ll get two whole hours of unlimited prosecco, beer, cider, soft drinks and a selection of cocktails. And that’s not even the best part. You can mix and match your drinks! The food's pretty amazing, too.  Choose from a range of breakfast dishes, including American-style muffins loaded with crispy bacon, sausages or eggs. If brunch isn’t your thing, then opt to build your own burger instead. As you satisfy those mid-morning cravings, our resident DJ will spin diva anthems and party classics. Prosecco, anyone?
