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.

The Sheffield sausage shop reinventing the humble sausage with ever-changing flavours
Forget what you know about sausages, because Piper's Sheffield is changing the game.
There's no denying that us Brits love a good sausage.
It's a porky staple that crops up in our diet in numerous forms: sausage and mash, sausage rolls, sausage sandwiches - their versatility is truly inspiring.
But there's one person who loves them more than most, and that's the lovely Nick from Piper's Artisan Sausage.

Located in Crosspool, Piper's is a sort of butchers/deli that specialise in, well, sausages.
They have an ever-changing menu of bangers that are inspired by recipes and flavours from across the globe.
From a roasted butternut squash sausage and a Vietnamese Nem Muong to a pepperoni pizza-inspired sausage, you'll never want to eat a Cumberland ever again.
They even stock a selection of veggie sausages so no one has to miss out on the sausage party (sorry, I had to).

You can buy the sausages raw to take home, perfect for barbecue season if you ask us.
But they also make their own sausage rolls, sandwiches, sauces and plenty more, all using ingredients prepared in-house.
Nick and Libby also smoke their own ham in the back and make their own lasagna which is basically famous at this point, if you're not feeling sausages that day.
So if you're looking to stock up for your next BBQ or after trying something different with your mash, all whilst supporting a local business, then Piper's is the spot for you.
They're stocking high quality products unlike anything you'll find in a supermarket, and we're very lucky to have them here in our city.
An award-winning Leeds restaurant is now serving sandwiches from a street-side hatch
Clementine Hall
One of Leeds' top restaurants has unveiled a brand-new concept brilliantly named 'Here Comes The Bun'.
The Swine Bistro in Headingley is about as perfect as a neighbourhood bistro gets.
Run by husband and wife team Jo and Stu Myers, the cooking comes from the heart, with a menu focused on brilliant produce, seasonal flavours and sustainability. All served in a beautiful, cosy space with around 30 covers.
Back when they were located on North Street in the city centre, to survive during the dreaded lockdown they opened up a sandwich concept named 'Here Comes The Bun' (what a name by the way).

The concept was simple, serving up delicious hot takeaway sandwiches all served in pillowy potato rolls made in-house.
And now the concept is back and better than ever, as Here Comes The Bun is now operating from a street-side hatch just moments away from their restaurant.
There's some core staple items as well as rotating specials meaning you'll be back week after week to find your favourite.

On the core menu you'll find an absolutely stellar brekkie bun powerful enough to wipe out any hangover, and of course your classic fried chicken burger which is crispy, juicy and just downright perfect.
On our visit, the specials included a lamb merguez roll with a sausage patty, harissa mayo, chermoula and slaw as well as a chicken fried steak roll with country gravy.
Whatever the specials are, just know that they'll be absolutely class.
They're currently open every Friday and Sunday, and all you have to do is order via their website, turn up at the hatch, ring the bell and collect your buns. And as if by magic, you'll be treated to the best sandwich you've ever eaten.
