Three hours of unlimited booze and all your favourite festive dishes.
It's certainly the most wonderful time of the year once more and so the turkey dinner has started to make its way back onto menus around the city centre.
The standard sit-down formal three courses are so last year and The Soap Factory is hosting a bottomless Christmas buffet to fill your cold wintry nights.
The series of Christmas bottomless evenings, where mince pies, beef and roasties are all on the menu, will be available on Thursday 15 December and Friday 16 December 2022.
The popular bar have doubled the standard 90 minutes of booze to offer three hours of free-flowing Prosecco, bottled beer and a range of flavoured gins.
New this year, there's blackberry gin, peach and raspberry gin, bottled Budweiser and Stella to choose from.
Tuck into select favourites from their Bottomless Brunch including their famed continental charcuterie, smoked salmon, delicious seafood and a selection of leafy greens to accompany.
If you're feeling festive, there will be a host of mouthwatering Christmas treats available too.

Think pigs in blankets, duck fat roasted potatoes and crispy roasted vegetables stacked as high as the eye can see with mini Yorkshire puddings stuffed with beef and turkey.
Finish your meal off with winter warmers like cinnamon pancakes, mince pies and some brandy cream.
The bottomless Christmas dinner is served in a buffet style, so you can leave the sprouts and stack up on your favourites instead.
The Soap Factory's Christmas Party has already kicked off with a stellar bottomless running throughout December, but there's still tickets available for Thursday 15 December and Friday 16 December 2022, both running from 7pm until 10pm.
For more information, visit The Soap Factory website. Tickets start at £55 and are available online via EventBrite.

A new açai cafe promising to be Leeds’ ‘neighbourhood social club’ is opening soon
An independent açai bowl pop-up is opening a permanent cafe in Leeds city centre.
It seems the açai bowl trend isn't over just yet, and we're absolutely not mad about it.
The aesthetically purple frozen treat isn't just delicious, but is also known to have numerous health benefits making it guilt-free and the perfect post-workout pick me up.
You may remember Açai Social Club that opened as a pop-up in the Victoria Quarter last year, and now they're moving into a permanent spot in the city centre.
Run by a lovely husband and wife duo who have spent the last 15 months exploring cafes around the world, it's safe to say they know exactly what they're talking about.
Their açai is made with the very best ingredients, topped with the freshest fruit and sprinkled with their homemade granola - it doesn't get much better then that does it?
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, they said: "Açai Social Club is getting a home. Our very first store is officially on the way! We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a space that’s more about than just açai.
"What started as an idea is finally becoming something you can walk into…There’s still a lot we’re keeping under wraps for now, but we’re so excited to finally share the beginning of what’s to come.
"We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you in. Your new neighbourhood social club, coming soon."
The exact location of the cafe and its opening date is still under wraps, but we'll of course keep you updated as and when we find out.
The Leeds Supper Club bringing people together over incredible food

What started as a simple idea around food has grown into something much bigger for Leeds Supper Club.
The idea was born from a love of food and the idea that eating together can be about much more than what’s on your plate.
Rather than simply going out to a restaurant, Leeds Supper Club puts connection at the heart of its events, bringing people together to share incredible food and enjoy an evening in good company.
We had the pleasure of attending their most recent event where we had the most wonderful evening with founders Lizzie, Phillip and the rest of the club.

This instalment was a very special one, as it was in collaboration with Knotfield Vine over in Horsforth.
I mean, it really doesn't get more scenic than this - we really felt like we'd been whisked away to the South of France rather than a Leeds suburb. But we wouldn't want it either way.

What makes it a cut above the rest is the details. Every little detail has been thought out, from the low-lit, sexy lighting, hand-made name plates, live music and four courses of wonderful seasonal goodness made fresh.
From enjoying a glass of wine within the vines alongside a couple of nibbles to tucking into a three course meal around a candle-lit table, there's really nowhere else like it.

The tagliatelle pasta with beef and whipped feta was a real highlight, and knowing Lizzie and Philip receive help on the menu and the cooking from all their friends made it taste that much sweeter.
By the end of it we'd had some delicious food, fabulous wine and shared even better conversation. And it's safe to say we left feeling a part of the club.
Keep an eye on their Instagram page here for all upcoming events.
