A Yorkshire pub has pulled it out of the bag this week after it revealed it was doing an epic meal deal for punters.
The Sailmakers Arms in Hull, East Yorkshire, has just launched a new pot noodle and a pint meal deal, and we’re absolutely obsessed with the idea.
When it comes to traditional boozers, there’s nothing better than keeping things simple on the snack front – something that bosses seemingly know all too well.
The team there has just launched a new deal where punters can enjoy a pot noodle and pint of their choice for just £6.95, hitting all your cravings in one fell swoop, reports The Manc.
Pot noodle choices included in the deal are Bombay Bad Boy, Chicken and Mushroom and Beef and Tomato, whilst the pint is entirely up to you.

Sharing the news to social media, the dog and family friendly pub wrote: “Remember our viral treat?! Indulge in our unbeatable offer of Pot Noodle and a pint for just £6.95!
“Picture this: Enjoy the savoury delight of a hot and satisfying Pot Noodle paired perfectly with a refreshing pint of your choice.”
“You can enjoy a choice between Chicken and Mushroom, Beef and Tomato or Bombay Bad Boy Pot Noodle with any pint.
“If this sounds like a pit of you, head over to Hull’s Historic Old Town to The Sailmakers Arms for great ales and a Pot Noodle – heaven.”
Punters after something a little more substantial at the boozer are catered to, with a full food menu served from 12pm seven days a week.
Other choices include a full list of Pieminister pies, burgers, hot dogs, salads, and crowd pleasing pub favourites like bangers and mash.
It’s not the first time Hull has gone viral for its mad food offering, with another bar recently hitting headlines for its bottomless crisp buffet deal.
Yes, it’s a little bit of a journey from Leeds, but we reckon a bottomless crisp butty and a pot noodle and pint deal is more than enough to sway us to make the trip over to 2017’s City of Culture.

Fantastic Leeds bakery owner claps back at one-star review calling him ‘silly man’
One of Leeds' most popular independent bakeries has addressed a recent one-star review, which slammed them for being sold out of sandwiches.
Silver's Bakehouse, which comes from the same team behind Silver's Deli, suggested that the reviewer should 'work on their manners'.
The review hit out at the Farsley bakery for being sold out of sandwiches by the time they travelled 'an 80 minute round trip', describing owner Chris Riley as a 'silly man'.
The reviewer said they have been 'loyal high-spending customers since the first one opened' but wrote that they won't be visiting Silver's again after being left empty-handed.
They wrote: "It's all very good being mr instagram but things can go south very quickly silly man, make more sandwiches if you are going to be sold out in the first hour, don't risk the disappointment!!!"
Silver's Bakehouse has now publicly shared and responded to the review, stressing that they won't tolerate 'rudeness' and detailing the hard work that goes on behind the scenes.
He said: "Let me explain again for you, David…

"We start baking at 5am and rarely finish before 6pm. Everything is made fresh, by hand, often taking days to prepare, in a very small bakery. You can literally see how small it is - and we utilise every inch.
"We make as much as we physically can. Sometimes we sell out earlier than we’d like, and we’re incredibly grateful that so many people want what we make. But there is, unfortunately, a limit to how much we can produce.
"For the record, I’m not overly enthused about being “Mr Instagram” - what a truly horrendous phrase to conjure up. I managed to avoid it for years, but needs must and all that.
"I am genuinely grateful for your custom, David. Rudeness, however, I’m considerably less enthusiastic about.
"So yeah, we’ll keep working hard. You keep working on those manners."
Major plans announced for Leeds Christmas Markets 2026 – food, drinks, stalls and more
Thomas Melia
Leeds Christmas Markets is returning to the city centre in just two months' time and some major plans and changes have been announced.
Although Pop Princess Zara Larsson might want us to believe "Summer isn't over yet", it's safe to say that the recent downpours we've had across West Yorkshire disagree.
Leeds Christmas Markets are also ringing in the new season with a jam-packed video posted to social media announcing all the current plans and changes for its 2026 schedule.
This year, outdoor events company Thor’s Tipi are stepping up as the all-new operators of this Christmastime spectacular and are organising a celebration where 'even if you’re not from Yorkshire, you’re going to leave being from Yorkshire'.

Although Leeds locals already know that Yorkshire is 'God's Own Country', the Leeds Christmas Markets team are making sure that the county is represented through its food, drinks and wider stalls.
In a video uploaded to its social accounts, foodie expert and Little Bao Boy Founder James 'Jimmy Chews' Ooi was given the honour of revealing all these exciting plans.
Informing everyone that "You best come hungry", Ooi noted that some of the phenomenal vendors taking part include La Grassa and The Savvy Baker.
Real Markets Yorkshire and Stump Cross Caverns are also getting into the Christmas spirit and setting up their own stalls at Leeds City Square this November.

Rated restaurants and bars are contributing to the festive frenzy too, like Cabaret Thursdays at Italian restaurant Bibi's and beer garden destination Green Room are hosting singalongs at Leeds Christmas Markets.
There will be plenty of activities for families happening all around the unofficial capital of West Yorkshire like elf-themed scavenger hunts, various elves on various shelves and lots of live music.
If it wasn't apparent already, in the words of Jimmy Chews himself, there's about to be "So much Christmas that Mariah Carey is going to look like the Grinch".
Leeds Christmas Markets are returning to Leeds City Square from Thursday 19 November and there will be plenty of exciting announcements to the upcoming celebrations ahead of the big day.
