This Leeds Brewery are releasing a new lager collection at their Halloween film night
Swap The Winchester for the Northern Monk Refectory this Halloween and grab a nice cold pint of their yet-to-be-released lager at their Halloween Beer and Film Night.
Shaun of the Dead, exclusive new beers and fancy dress: what more do you really need this Halloween?
Northern Monk are known for their stand-out lagers and fresh ideas, but this Halloween they're celebrating their new release with a chilled night in with Simon Pegg.
On the evening of Halloween, get yourself to The Winchester, aka the Northern Monk Refectory, have a nice cold pint and wait for this to all blow over.
The popular brewery will be showing cult classic Shaun of the Dead from 7pm, with doors opening an hour earlier.
Picture the scene: Shaun has left Mars Bar in the glove box and is getting chased around the garden with a piece of wood, anticipating a gory death.
You, on the other hand, are sat in your most haunted costume at one of Leeds' finest refectories and instead of battling the threat of becoming a zombie, you're guzzling Northern Monk lagers at their Halloween launch.
There will be plenty of popcorn to go around, along with strawberry Cornettos and a schooner of Faith: a fruity, juicy pale ale.

As much as gathering with your mates to laugh at Simon Pegg sounds like the ultimate night out, there's a far more exciting reason to turn up to the brewery's Leeds location.
The spooky movie night will be celebrating the release of Northern Monk's Halloween special, which has been kept carefully under wraps.
There will be plenty of Monk treats to dip into throughout the evening and tickets even guarantee a third off their new collection when purchased after the movie.
Fancy dress is encouraged and rewarded at this spooky event. There will be ample opportunity to win a free four-pack, simply outshine the rest of the competition in costume for your chance to win.

Tickets cost £12 and need to be purchased in advance of the Halloween film night.
Any ticket covers the cost of entry and those delicious snacks essential for any movie night but there will be opportunity to purchase Northern Monk's locally renowned lagers throughout the night, including their latest release.
After making a name for itself over in Leeds city centre, Alfonso's Deli 2.0 has touched down in Horsforth.
Famed for it’s toasted Cuban sandwiches, stacked subs and loaded breakfast bagels - Alfonso's Deli in Leeds' beautiful Grand Arcade serve up some of the best sandwiches in the city.
They've built up such a good reputation in fact, that they have now opened a second deli in the up-and-coming suburb of Horsforth.
Located in a prime location on New Side Road, this deli has a slightly different look to their original space, complete with a beautiful red awning and stuffed to the brim with American memorabilia.

Here you can find fresh Cuban coffee which goes wonderfully with their authentic toasted Cubano sandwiches, perfectly crafted with their house-made bread which are then pressed made-to-order.
New for Horsforth, they're now serving New York deli sandwiches on brand-new house schiacciata bread.
And the bread is as fresh as it gets, made in their own bakery downstairs alongside a selection of New York deli bakes.

Oh and it doesn't stop there, you can also buy a cigar if you fancy it alongside a selection of merch, hot sauces and provisions like tinned fish.
So whether you're stopping by on your way to work for a morning coffee or treating yourself to a stellar sandwich for your lunch, Alfonso's Deli is here to whisk you away to Miami for the afternoon.

Make sure to pop down and give them a big warm welcome to the neighbourhood.
A 1970s-inspired cocktail bar is coming to Leeds this month from the team behind some of the city’s best bars

We've been waiting a while for this one - and it's finally here.
If you know a thing or two about cocktails, or just drinks in general, then you're going to be just as excited as us.
The very talented team behind Roland's and The Domino Club, just to name a few, are setting their sites on a brand-new venture.
Introducing Paper Plane, an intimate new cocktail bar that will be taking over the old Casa site in the city's beautiful Grand Arcade.
Paper Plane will be inspired by the glamour of 1970s air travel and will be a vinyl-only listening bar, serving a world-inspired cocktail menu alongside a carefully curated whisky collection.
The space will be lovely and intimate, with around just 40 covers, designed to transport guests somewhere completely different from the minute they step foot through the door.
And what a location too, joining a whole host of fantastic independents in the arcade such as Alfonso's Deli, Stuzzi and Sonder.
Not only has Roland's been consistently one of the busiest bars on Call Lane since they opened back in 2014, but The Domino Club was recently crowned one of the best cocktail bars in the world. Now that is some accolade worth shouting about.
Paper Plane was announced all the way back in July, and just this week they have announced their official opening date.
Paper Plane will be opening its doors on Thursday 29 October, and we can't wait to welcome them to the city. We'll definitely see you there for a cocktail or two (or three).
Keep an eye for further updates via their Instagram page here.
