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.

Get Baked’s viral ‘Bertha’ cake has a sister on the way – and she sounds just as cheeky
She's big, she's green and she's ready to ruin your figure.
A lot of you will have seen the viral ‘Bertha’ cake by Leeds born beloved sweet treat specialists Get Baked.
They recently opened another site in Manchester's Northern Quarter, where queues literally formed round the block of hungry punters wanting to get their hands on the infamous sugary treats.
And now it's going to happen all over again, as they've recently unveiled their newest flavour which is sure to go down a storm.
We’ll give you a hint: it’s a current food and drink trend that’s about as big as Bertha herself – it’s not matcha, it’s not hot honey (duh), and it’s not Guinness…

Yes—scratch that; HELL YES!Get Baked is set to welcome Bertha’s equally beautiful twin sister, and she’s officially a pistachio girlie.
Having started out life simply as ‘Bruce’, after taking inspiration from the iconic scene from Matilda, this thing has become a phenomenon in its own right, and who doesn’t like more flavours of a good thing?
Probably one of the biggest foodie crazes going at the minute, thanks to the popularity of pistachio cream, cookies, lattes and the similar social media sensation that is the ‘Dubai Pistachio Bar' people are rather fittingly going nuts for this particular flavour of almost absolutely anything.
With that in mind, the Leeds-born bakery and dessert shop – founded by Rich Myers over in Headingley back in 2011 – have shown no hesitation in hopping on the bandwagon and creating a new twist on their own viral menu item.
Teasing the full details in a post on their Instagram this week, they wrote: “What’s big, green, and is going to destroy your life in a couple of weeks’ time? Pistachio Bertha. Strictly limited to 5,000 slices. Coming oh so soon. GB.”
In case you were wondering just how mad those with a sweet tooth could possibly go for a slice of cake, just look at the recent queues when they finally launched in Manchester city centre:
Speaking on the grand opening here on our turf and his partner Amy’s hometown, Myers said simply: “Manchester, what a launch. Thanks for much for the warm welcome. Stay baked.”
