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!

"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.
A newcomer to the Leeds foodie scene has been added to the coveted Michelin Guide.
You may remember back in April when a Leeds icon was reborn under a different name.
The Smithfield took over the site that was home to The Reliance for more than two decades, and it's safe to say it exceeded expectations.
The team transformed the site to its former glory, taking the site's exterior back to its memorable dark red. But the efforts to recapture the essence of the iconic old venue go way beyond that.

The Smithfield, a collaboration between Crooked Brewing and Chef James Donovan, offers simple dining with seasonal food and natural wines.
It's the sort of place where you can rock up for a plate and a glass people watching through the huge window on North Street, or really get stuck into a sharing pie and chips with friends on a Saturday afternoon.
Either way we love it, and it seems we're not the only ones as The Smithfield has been added to the Michelin Guide just five months after opening.

Announcing the great news to Instagram, The Smithfield said: "We’re very pleased and grateful to have been included in the Michelin Guide.
"To get this kind of recognition so early in our journey is a real honour, and one we certainly don’t take for granted.

"Thank you to our wonderful guests for your continued support. Also, huge thanks to our brilliant team. The Smithfield is what it is because of your hard work, enthusiasm, energy and diligence. This recognition belongs to you.
"We’re just getting started, and our focus remains the same: creating a welcoming space for our community, serving food and drink we’re proud of, championing great British and local produce, and contributing our small part towards Leeds’ brilliant hospitality scene. The Smithfield."

Judging in the Sweet Biscuits category was led by Cherish Finden, best known as a judge on Bake Off: The Professionals.
She said: "A well-made traditional shortbread with a lovely buttery flavour, balanced sweetness and a subtle touch of salt that enhances the overall taste. The delicate, crumbly texture makes it particularly pleasant to eat.
"Overall, it is a very enjoyable and satisfying shortbread. I could eat the whole packet with a cup of tea."
Gavin Johnson, head of bakery operations at Bettys Craft Bakery, said: "We are incredibly proud that our Yorkshire Shortbread has been awarded a Gold Medal at The Great British Food Awards 2026.
"This recognition reflects the enduring values of Bettys, the finest ingredients, best quality, traditional craftsmanship and a deep connection to our Yorkshire roots.
