There's a bar in Hull hosting bottomless buffets with unlimited crisp butties and it sounds like absolute heaven.
Kicks Bar & Grill is hosting a 90-minute long bottomless buffet where crisp fans can snack on the likes of Space Invaders, Discos, NikNaks, and Hula Hoops to their heart's content.
Priced at £12.95 for those who pre-book or £15 on the door, for that you'll be treated to unlimited packets of crisps and DIY crisp butties - with plenty of thick white bread and spreadable butter on hand to assemble them just how you like.
With plenty of drinks including craft beers and cocktails available from the bar, plus a live DJ who will keep the party going all night long with 'all the best cheesy hits', guests are advised to don their 'comfiest snack-eating attire' for the event.
Those heading down should expect to find thousands of bags of crisps, with a choice of 30 different flavours and brands, plus bread for butties, dips and sauces.
An announcement by the bar posted on its website reads: "Get ready to munch and crunch at our Bottomless Crisp Buffet for 90 minutes! Indulge in all your favourite current and retro crisps including Space Invaders, Discos, NikNaks, Hula Hoops and more!
"And don't forget the bread and butter to make crisp butties. And as you enjoy your crisps, don't miss out on our fantastic bar menu full of hand-crafted cocktails and beers!
"But the fun doesn't stop there, we got a live DJ who will keep the party going all night long with all the best cheesy hits.
"Dress in your comfiest snack-eating attire and get ready to enjoy the night with friends, while munching on the best crisps. Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind party experience! Get your tickets now before they sell out!"
With several dates open in April, May and June, there are a few options for crisp fans to head down and get their fill.
We’ve been waiting for this one and trust us, it’s just as good as we’d hoped.
If you’re a fan of a cheeky margarita, a taco and a bit of a boogie then this is the spot for you - and let’s be honest, who isn’t.
Introducing Salon Madre, made famous over in Manchester and now with another spot in Liverpool, think late nights fuelled by margaritas, cosy dates over tacos and lively game nights.
The new Leeds site is located on Wellington Street, perfect for those wrapping up work over on Wellington Place and looking to blow off some steam.

The space is huge, with floor to ceiling windows letting loads of light in during the day and plenty of red neon lights setting the vibe for the evening.
There's about 20 different variations of margaritas and tequilas on the menu, as well as fresh Mexican beers on tap if you're not ready for a shot just yet.
But it's not just about the drink, the food menu is top notch too.

There's tacos and quesadillas all made with hand-pressed tortillas, twice-cooked chicken wings in a range of flavours from Mexican cola to Yucatan buffalo, and of course there's stacked nachos which are perfect for snacking on between sips of margarita.
If you're feeling competitive then they've got six pool tables as well as darts, and Lucha Libre on the big screens if you'd rather watch the play happen than play yourself.

Salon Madre will have DJs on in the evening and on a Friday and Saturday they'll even be open til 1am.
Welcome Salon Madre, we can't wait for this to become our new late-night party destination. You can take a look at their menu here.
Inside Leeds’ newest Italian cafe and gelateria that’s inspired by the streets of Puglia
Clementine Hall
A slice of Puglia has landed in Pudsey and people are already flocking to the scene.
It's rare in the UK (let alone Leeds) that you find a real, authentic gelateria like you'd find on a cobbled corner in Italy.
But luckily for us, an Italian-inspired cafe serving up just that and more has opened over in Pudsey.
Meet Pino, a beautiful spot created by Fabio who has drawn inspiration from his hometown of Puglia - a region on the southern coast with a vast coastline.

Named after his father Giuseppe, at Pino you'll find proper punchy Italian coffee, pastries and homemade pizza which they'll warm up for you fresh. But what we're really interested in is the gelato.
Yes it may not be what you're craving during this time of year, but we're in no doubt that come summer there will be queues out the door full of punters looking to grab a scoop.

Fabio makes it fresh in the kitchen every single day in a variety of flavours, and you can have it in a cone, tub, takeaway tub or even via affogato. We can't think of a better afternoon pick me up.
The space is light, airy and inviting, and the service has that perfect Italian charm that you'd expect.

It's a really honest spot that comes from humble beginnings, and it's exactly the type of place that we need to be supporting right now.
You can find Pino on Robin Lane in Pudsey, and you'll probably see us there. Take a look at their socials here.
