It's a collaboration we never saw happening, but we're very glad it is.
If you're a foodie then you might have seen this coming, but the legendary Ox Club is joining forces with comedian James Acaster for an exclusive set menu to celebrate their 10th birthday.
But before we get into that, allow us to fill you in on the relationship between them.
James Acaster is not only known for his hilarious stand up comedy gigs, but also for hosting a food podcast named 'Off Menu'.
It's a podcast that interviews celebrities about their dream menu in their dream restaurant, basically like asking someone about their death row meal but a lot less morbid.
James has mentioned the Ox Club and their wonderful food many times on this podcast, specifically praising the very first meal he had there which consisted of Kentucky Fried Mussels, duck breast and a triumphant baked Alaska.
So for their 10th birthday, that menu is coming back.
Announcing this very exciting news to Instagram, the Ox Club said: "We're teaming up with good friend of Ox Club, comedian, food connoisseur, musician, James Acaster, to present a very special set menu in celebration of our 10th Birthday.

"If you follow us then you'll know we're very proud to have been mentioned a whole bunch of times by James on the Off Menu podcast, so we had to try and do something with him.
"We weren't quite sure what to do but having discussed with James, it was clear that his first ever meal he had at Ox Club was a special one, so we gave former head chef Will Campbell a ring, who cooked the menu at the time, and set about recreating that very menu featuring Kentucky Fried Mussels, Thirkleby Duck, Baked Alaska and more..."
The aptly named Oxcaster set menu will be available from Wednesday 22 October until Saturday 25 October alongside their regular menu.
You can book your table here and who knows, maybe you'll be sat next to James himself.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Edge's Pizza said: "Well there’s good reason for our silence over the last few months, (planning permission pending) we’ve got a home! Seven months of looking and we’ve learnt so much on this journey already, from investment that didn’t work out, to dodgy buildings not fit for purpose. We’ve got there in the end.
"All that to say, we pride ourselves on perfection and wouldn’t settle for anything less. We hope this will be worth the wait, and that you’ll support us on this next huge step. We are terrified to say the least, but we’re also so excited and immensely grateful to you our lovely customers for this opportunity."

This would be great news for Leeds, as their pizza is something unlike anything we have in the city at the moment.
Forget the floppy, Neapolitan-slices that you fold before shoving in your gob. These slices are satisfyingly thin, perfectly crispy and just downright delicious.
We would love to welcome Edges Pizza to the city and we'll keep you updated with the progress. You can bet we'll be the first to order.
Award-wining Leeds sandwich shop Silver’s Deli to open neighbourhood bakehouse
Clementine Hall
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.
