Three hours of unlimited booze and all your favourite festive dishes.
It's certainly the most wonderful time of the year once more and so the turkey dinner has started to make its way back onto menus around the city centre.
The standard sit-down formal three courses are so last year and The Soap Factory is hosting a bottomless Christmas buffet to fill your cold wintry nights.
The series of Christmas bottomless evenings, where mince pies, beef and roasties are all on the menu, will be available on Thursday 15 December and Friday 16 December 2022.
The popular bar have doubled the standard 90 minutes of booze to offer three hours of free-flowing Prosecco, bottled beer and a range of flavoured gins.
New this year, there's blackberry gin, peach and raspberry gin, bottled Budweiser and Stella to choose from.
Tuck into select favourites from their Bottomless Brunch including their famed continental charcuterie, smoked salmon, delicious seafood and a selection of leafy greens to accompany.
If you're feeling festive, there will be a host of mouthwatering Christmas treats available too.

Think pigs in blankets, duck fat roasted potatoes and crispy roasted vegetables stacked as high as the eye can see with mini Yorkshire puddings stuffed with beef and turkey.
Finish your meal off with winter warmers like cinnamon pancakes, mince pies and some brandy cream.
The bottomless Christmas dinner is served in a buffet style, so you can leave the sprouts and stack up on your favourites instead.
The Soap Factory's Christmas Party has already kicked off with a stellar bottomless running throughout December, but there's still tickets available for Thursday 15 December and Friday 16 December 2022, both running from 7pm until 10pm.
For more information, visit The Soap Factory website. Tickets start at £55 and are available online via EventBrite.

North Star Coffee announces opening date for new site – and they’re giving away 200 coffees to celebrate
One of Leeds' most iconic brands is expanding with two city centre openings.
Coffee lovers, you're going to love this one.
North Star Coffee Roasters are one of the early pioneers of specialty coffee in the North of England and among the UK’s first B Corp-certified coffee roasters.
They've been keeping the people of Leeds awake since 2013, and you'll find their coffee across the country as well as at their current city centre locations.
One of their brand-new locations inside the Victoria Quarter will be opening next Monday 1 June.
Their new kiosk will be located outside Jo Malone London and marks the brand’s third site in Leeds.

To celebrate the launch, North Star will be giving away 50 free coffees a day from Tuesday 2 June until Friday 5 June - a total of 200 free drinks across the opening week. Customers will be able to claim any coffee from the menu, with one free drink per person available on a first come, first served basis, each day.
Their other new site is expected to be on Great George Street, and we'll keep you updated with any news on that one as and when we know more.
Speaking about the opening, Holly Kragiopoulos, Co-founder of North Star, said: “Opening a third site in the centre of Leeds feels incredibly special for us. Leeds has always been at the heart of North Star, so being able to bring our coffee into Victoria Quarter is a huge milestone.
"We wanted to celebrate by giving something back to the city and welcoming both loyal regulars and new customers with free coffee throughout our opening week.”
Inside Leeds’ new neighbourhood bakehouse from the team behind Silver’s Deli
Clementine Hall
Silver's Bakehouse is finally here, and it's just as fabulous as we'd hoped.
Just when you thought Leeds’ favourite sandwich spot couldn't get any better, they go and open a bakery.
Silver's Bakehouse has opened its beautiful pastel green doors today over in Farsley to queues of excited fans eager to get their first taste.
So, what's on offer at Silver's Bakehouse?

Well, as masterminds of the almighty sandwich you'll be happy to know you can still get one here. However, their iconic sub sarnies have had an Italian makeover and are now served in fresh, springy sourdough which is baked onsite.
Elsewhere on the menu you'll find brown butter buttermilk brownies (try saying that three times), a range of delicious cookies, sausage rolls, soft amaretti biscuits and Dark Arts tiramisu.
There's also a fab selection of Italian drinks on offer in a swanky new fridge, as well as a coffee menu so you can pick a brew to go hand in hand with your chosen baked good.

The interior is just as gorgeous, complete with yellow walls, red tiles and a mirror hanging above the baker's table so you can really see all the magic happen.
And trust us, it is magic.
There's a couple of benches outside so you can plonk yourself in the sunshine to enjoy your sarnie, which is what we'll be doing in this glorious bank holiday sunshine.

You can really tell this is a proper labour of love, and Chris and the team have done a cracking job of keeping that Silver's spirit in there.
Go and say hello to congratulate them on this fabulous new opening, it's a great addition to Farsley and the Leeds foodie scene.
