A Yorkshire pub has pulled it out of the bag this week after it revealed it was doing an epic meal deal for punters.
The Sailmakers Arms in Hull, East Yorkshire, has just launched a new pot noodle and a pint meal deal, and we’re absolutely obsessed with the idea.
When it comes to traditional boozers, there’s nothing better than keeping things simple on the snack front – something that bosses seemingly know all too well.
The team there has just launched a new deal where punters can enjoy a pot noodle and pint of their choice for just £6.95, hitting all your cravings in one fell swoop, reports The Manc.
Pot noodle choices included in the deal are Bombay Bad Boy, Chicken and Mushroom and Beef and Tomato, whilst the pint is entirely up to you.

Sharing the news to social media, the dog and family friendly pub wrote: “Remember our viral treat?! Indulge in our unbeatable offer of Pot Noodle and a pint for just £6.95!
“Picture this: Enjoy the savoury delight of a hot and satisfying Pot Noodle paired perfectly with a refreshing pint of your choice.”
“You can enjoy a choice between Chicken and Mushroom, Beef and Tomato or Bombay Bad Boy Pot Noodle with any pint.
“If this sounds like a pit of you, head over to Hull’s Historic Old Town to The Sailmakers Arms for great ales and a Pot Noodle – heaven.”
Punters after something a little more substantial at the boozer are catered to, with a full food menu served from 12pm seven days a week.
Other choices include a full list of Pieminister pies, burgers, hot dogs, salads, and crowd pleasing pub favourites like bangers and mash.
It’s not the first time Hull has gone viral for its mad food offering, with another bar recently hitting headlines for its bottomless crisp buffet deal.
Yes, it’s a little bit of a journey from Leeds, but we reckon a bottomless crisp butty and a pot noodle and pint deal is more than enough to sway us to make the trip over to 2017’s City of Culture.

A new Turkish-inspired street food spot serving homemade shawarma is coming to Leeds city centre
Authentic Turkish street food is coming to Kirkgate.
Leeds city centre is gearing up to welcome yet another new food spot, and this one is all about homemade lahmacun, shawarma wraps and plenty of signature tahini sauce.
Tahin will open its doors at 10 Kirkgate, next to The Cat Cafe, and with signs already up we don't think it'll be long until they welcome their first customers.
The restaurant is listed as a Turkish restaurant that specialise in their homemade tahini sauce, hence the name.
According to the restaurant's Instagram profile which has been going for a few years, Tahin also specialises in home-made lahmacun wraps alongside shawarma wraps.
For anyone unfamiliar with lahmacun, the Turkish staple is often described as a thin, crispy flatbread topped with a richly seasoned mixture of minced meat, herbs and vegetables.
Wrapped up with fresh salad and sauces, it makes for a satisfying and flavourful lunch to enjoy on-the-go.
Their Instagram suggests that Tahin once existed before back in 2022, so although this may not be a completely new venture, we're nevertheless very glad to see them back.
Its location puts it right in the middle of one of Leeds' busiest areas, making it the perfect mid-shopping pit stop for those wandering around Briggate or stopping for a bite to eat before heading out on the town.
The new opening comes at a time when Leeds' food scene is continuing to expand, with a string of independent restaurants and street-food concepts opening across the city centre throughout 2026.
This Leeds bistro has been named one of the best restaurants in the UK to plan a staycation around

A much-loved neighbourhood Leeds restaurant has been given another major accolade.
There’s no shortage of brilliant places to eat in Leeds, but one Horsforth bistro has just been given a pretty huge seal of approval - and it might be worth planning your next staycation around.
The brilliant Bavette has been named one of the best neighbourhood restaurants in the UK to plan a staycation around by Condé Nast Traveller, appearing alongside a handpicked list of restaurants from across the country.
The list celebrates neighbourhood restaurants that are worth travelling for, with the magazine highlighting the growing appeal of venturing outside of busy city centres in search of smaller, more intimate places to eat.

And Leeds has bagged itself a spot thanks to Bavette, and we can't say we're surprised.
The French-inspired neighbourhood bistro is run by chef Sandy Jarvis and his husband Clément Cousin.
Since opening in 2024, Bavette has quickly become one of the city's most talked-about restaurants, attracting diners far beyond its Horsforth home and scooping up accolades such as the 2024 Good Food Guide's Best UK Local Restaurant, a 2025 and 2026 Michelin Bib Gourmand, and a place in the 2026 National Restaurant Awards Top 100.
Condé Nast Traveller hails Bavette as "a true neighbourhood gem", saying: "The restaurant takes its cues from the couple’s London bistro roots, serving hearty yet elegant dishes made with seasonal ingredients.”
They finish by saying: "Reservations are hard to come by - but so worth it once you get your foot in the door."
We really couldn't agree more.
And while a trip to Horsforth might not technically count as a staycation for us Leeds locals, Bavette is certainly one restaurant worth crossing the city for.
