Pasta in pyjamas? Name us a better Friday night plan.
Okay, you don't actually have to wear pyjamas but the main thing is you won't be judged if you do.
Some of you may remember that back in the good old days, Doh'hut used to host 'Casual Pasta' nights. And they were absolutely class, as you would expect.
Well now they're making a triumphant return to BAKE, where Tom and the All Things Dough team will serve you up a menu full of banging pasta, natural wine from Wayward Wines and a few other goodies in a gorgeous, relaxed setting.
Announcing the fabulous news on Instagram, BAKE said: "Join us for a set menu of delicious food to share with your loved ones or mates, paired with good tunes, great wine, and the best pasta you’ve chomped on this year.
"We plan to run Casual Pasta at least once a month going forward. The menu will change slightly each time but with the same format, different flavours, keeping it fresh for us and fresh for you.
"Keep it casual… no ties or dress shoes. Hats and trainers encouraged, and if you rock up in pyjamas, we’ll be super impressed. Be comfortable and feel at home, that’s the vibe we want, and hopefully the vibe you bring too."
Sounds absolutely perfect, don't you think? And seeing as everything Tom touches turns to gold, we just know this is going to be some of the best pasta we've ever had the pleasure of eating.
The first casual pasta nights at BAKE will take place on Friday 31 October and Saturday 1 November, and you can book your spot here. And you best be quick, as we don't think it'll take long to get all booked up.
Leeds restaurant The Cut & Craft has announced further expansion plans for the spring.
Swanky all-day dining restaurant and bar, The Cut & Craft, is expanding its popular Leeds site, investing a whopping £1.2 million to create a new adjoining elegant bar, lounge and private spaces.
Located within the former historic Collinson’s Cafe, the renovation will transform the former neighbouring Paul Smith store, to extend the existing brand offering.
The extension will celebrate the original beauty of the space, whilst acknowledging the legacy of Wallace Hartley - a talented musician who played at Collinson’s Cafe in the early 1900s before his role as bandleader on Titanic during its maiden voyage.

The Grade II-listed building’s features including its iconic glass dome, stained glass and circular central bar will remain, with the addition of two beautifully designed private dining rooms.
The extension is due for competition this spring and will transform the existing venue into a space with seating for an impressive 370 covers.
Oscar Akgul, CEO at The Cut & Craft said: “Planning for this new chapter began within the first year of opening. By year two, it was clear that we required additional space to serve the city’s appetite for The Cut & Craft’s signature hospitality.

“The brand’s deep affinity with the Victoria Quarter and the heritage of the building played an essential role in the decision to grow here.
“We want to thank our regular guests and everyone who has joined us at The Cut & Craft Leeds since opening and we look forward to entering this exciting new chapter with you all.”

Yep, you can't even get a Freddo for 25p these days let alone a cold, refreshing pint.
Guests will be able to grab their first pint of Double Diamond for 25p along with a nostalgic specials menu from the Whitelock's kitchen.
And if you know anything about their food, it's always class so this specials menu will be absolutely no exception.
The specials menu includes a french onion quiche, a coronation chicken sandwich, gammon, pineapple, egg and chips and to top it all off, a raspberry Swiss roll with custard.
You can get three courses for just £30 and you can either pre-order or order individually when you're there.
This is set to be a real blast from the past, so rally your mates together and prepare for a trip down memory lane and for what could be the cheapest pint of your life.
