A West Yorkshire pub group has launched a heavenly-sounding crisp butty menu, all served on thick white bread with lashings of Lurpak.
The menu is available for one week only at Beerhouses Pubs group, whose closest pubs to Leeds are The Old Turk and West Riding, both in Dewsbury.
With choices like “crinkle-cut classics”, “not crisp butties”, “combo butties”, the menu is split into sections with the main highlight (in our humble opinion) being a seven-course crisp "tasting menu” option.

For the “crinkle cut classics” section, Seabrooks crisps sit front and centre. The menu clearly states: “Seabrooks crisps obviously - in case you were in any doubt. Here, a choice of flavours includes plain, salt and vinegar, cheese and onion or Canadian ham.
A controversial “not crisp butties” section goes down the maize snack route, including iconic childhood favourites like pickled onion Monster Munch, Bacon Fries, Scampi Fries, Wotsits or salt and vinegar Squares.
But the “Combo butties” are really where its at, combining favourite flavours and styles of crisps in one to create flavours like “Surf and Turf” (Scampi and Bacon Fries) and "Mighty Meaty" (Canadian ham Seabrook and Bacon Fries).

Elsewhere, “Cheese and Bacon” combines Bacon Fries with Wotsits, whilst “Double cheese and onion”, filled with Monster Munch, Wotsits and cheese and onion Seabrook crisps, is sure to hit the spot.
If it all goes successfully, the brewery also plans to launch a second menu with Nik Naks, Wheat Crunchies, McCoys, Roysters, Quavers, Onion Rings, Space Raiders, Snyders Jalapeno pretzels and Frisps.
Get down to get yourself a crisp butty at any of Beerhouses Pubs before it's all over> The menu runs up until 18 June, crisp butty prices start from £2.25.

Yorkshire residents are being invited to name two new bin lorries
Clementine Hall
Well...this is a new one.
Ever fancied naming a bin lorry? Well today is your lucky day, because now you can.
Yorkshire-based waste management experts Divert are celebrating the arrival of two swanky new tbin rucks by inviting the local community to help name them.
The iconic purple bins, vans and trucks can be seen across the Yorkshire area helping to clean up waste from Bradford to Harrogate.
Two new lorries are set to be joining the fleet in April and May, and of course they need a name.
And who better to ask than the general public? The winning names will be added to the cabs of each of the trucks for all to see, and announced via the Divert website and social media channels.
Absolutely anyone from across the UK is welcome to take part, but the company are especially keen for people from Yorkshire to enter.
You can be as creative as you like, but there are a couple of rules...
No swearing or offensive names. Aside from that, you can let your freak flag fly.
The Divert team are keen to hear the 'best celebrity puns, local namesakes, and downright silly names' the public have to offer.
John Verity, Managing Director of Divert, comments: “Naming our bin trucks is a great way to bring some joy to the local community. We hope to bring a smile to the faces of passing drivers and pedestrians as our fleet passes by.
“Not only that, naming our lorries can help our drivers to take pride and ownership in the vehicles they drive and be a key reminder of our engagement within the community. We’re always keen to employ any initiatives that help the public to engage with us and ensure we’re seen as a friendly face in the area.”
Winners will be voted for by the team internally, and the competition closes at 5 pm on 31 March 2026.
