You can now bag yourself a free roast at this Leeds pub if you can finish their 'Carvery Sundae'.
Yes, you read that correctly. There's a new food challenge in town and it features ice cream drizzled with...gravy.
Now we love gravy just as much as every other northerner, but we think this might just be crossing the line.
However, we will let you make your own judgement.
The Gildersome Arms Greene King pub in the heart of Morley are offering this weird and wonderful challenge from Sunday 26 November and Sunday 3 December 2023.

All you have to do is devour their brand new Carvery Sundae to win a voucher for a free carvery on your next visit.
The limited-edition dessert consists of either the ‘ultimate ice cream sundae’ or the Choctastic Sundae with a ladle of Greene King Pub & Carvery’s own gravy drizzled on top.
All you have to do is ask for your chosen sundae with gravy on top, and if you finish it you'll be the lucky winner of a roast on your next visit.

Sophie Howells, Marketing Manager for Greene King Pub & Carvery said, “The Carvery Sundae is the perfect balance of sweet and savoury, featuring two types of ice cream, and a wide range of toppings. The hot gravy might not be for everyone, but it certainly makes for a unique experience! Best of all, if you finish it, you get your next carvery on us!
“Once you’ve polished off your Carvery Sundae, a team member will give you a receipt to redeem a carvery meal the next time you’re in pub.”

A much-loved independent restaurant in Leeds has announced it will be closing its doors.
Kuala Lumpur Cafe opened its doors in Headingley in 2019 by Bart and Hirman, who wanted to bring authentic Malaysian cooking to the city of Leeds.
Throughout the years, they'd built up a reputation for their beautiful curries and vibrant street food dishes, all of which were made using Hirman's family recipes.
So much so, that in 2024 they opened a kitchen inside White Cloth Hall in the city centre when the Grade II listed food hall first opened.
Their kitchen sadly closed a year later, but their Headingley restaurant remained open serving the students and locals with their famous beef rendang, nasi lemak and more.
Sadly, Kuala Lumpur Cafe have taken to social media to announce that they will be closing their doors for good as of this Saturday 17 October.
Their statement reads: "Thank you to all our customers and team that made Kuala Lumpur Cafe possible across the last few years. After a long consideration, we have decided that our last trading day will be Saturday 17 October.
"If you have a booking after this date, we'll be calling you over the next few days to try to move it to an earlier date before we close.
"It's been our pleasure to serve Malaysian food to the community. Best regards, KL Cafe."
Of course, in true Leeds fashion, local businesses and customers flocked to the comments to express their sadness and show their support.
One comment reads: "Such a shame. This was genuinely the best Malay food I had outside of Malaysia. Will be missed greatly", whilst another thanks the cafe for "all the delicious food over the years".
If you want to visit Kuala Lumpur Cafe one last time, then you have until this Saturday to do so. Go and wish them a proper farewell.
