Texas barbecue food meets Christmas in a 90 minutes all-you-can-drink festive bottomless brunch.
Red's True Barbecue is known for transporting us to Texan suburbs with their smoked meats, so it's no surprise that their festive bottomless brunch is a feast of their traditional meats, along with some new festive favourites.
So grab anyone who loves a smoky barbecue feast and take on ninety minutes of meaty, veggie or vegan platters.
Red's describe their bottomless platters as 'a selection of Red's smoked meats and festive additions, stacked up in our famous bin lids, backed up by the lively atmosphere synonymous with the church of true barbecue.

The Festive Feast includes only the finest smoked meats around: Pork Ribs, Unholy BBQ XXXL Wings, Smoked Chicken and Pulled Pork Stuffing Balls, served with Meaty Pit Beans, Mash, Gravy, Giant Onion Rings, Fries and Festive Cornbread.
By comparison the vegetarian (and vegan upon request) menu features plenty of meat-free smoked goods. Think pulled jackfruit with meat-free buffalo wings, smoked vegan sausage with garlic and chilli greens. Topped with crispy onions, mash, gravy, giant onion rings and fries, as well as a veggie cornbread alternative, there's plenty to enjoy.

Adding bottomless drinks to your feast only makes it easier to wash down your delicious dishes. Choose from either 90 minutes or two hours of draught lager, cider and Prosecco, or choose from either red or white wine.
For those wanting an authentic bottomless brunch experience, there will also be two Christmas House cocktails available to choose from. The concoctions will be unveiled upon arrival, but the rest of the festive surprises will be left with the rest of the presents under the Christmas tree.

The festive bottomless feast is available from 24 November - 30 December 2022 and you best be quick as spaces are filling up fast.

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.
