A Northern pub is doing a 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 at The Sailmakers Arms in Hull, East Yorkshire, 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.
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.
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 bit of a mooch from Manchester, 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.

Hotel Chocolat to open viral chocolate Velvetiser Cafe in Manchester
Daisy Jackson
Hotel Chocolat is set to open a Velvetiser Cafe in Manchester city centre, and it’ll be absolute paradise for chocolate lovers.
The popular chocolate shop, which has stores across the UK selling delicious chocolate bars, boxes and more, is now preparing to branch out in town.
Hotel Chocolat then hit a new level of fame with its Velvetiser, an invention that creates velvety smooth hot drinks at the touch of a button.
They’ve been so popular, Hotel Chocolat is now opening Velvetiser Cafes across the UK – and Manchester is up next.
If it follows in the footsteps of the Meadowhall cafe in Sheffield, visitors will be able to customise their perfect hot chocolate from thousands of combinations.
There are 18 flavours, different milks, and a whole variety of toppings available.
Then you drink can be served hot, over ice, or as a choc shake.
Colourful hoardings for the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser Cafe have now appeared on Cross Street, just next door to the new Joe & The Juice.
A planning application has also been lodged with Manchester City Council.
Drake-backed fried chicken brand Dave’s Hot Chicken is opening in Manchester
Daisy Jackson
The huge LA-based fried chicken brand backed by Drake is heading to Manchester for the very first time this summer.
Dave’s Hot Chicken is set to open in the Printworks this August – the first UK branch outside of London and Birmingham.
The cult chicken brand has said that its new venue will feature an ‘industrial design inspired by Manchester’s rave scene’ (if we had a pound every time a new venue used that design style, we’d be as rich as Drake…).
Dave’s Hot Chicken is famed for its signature Nashville-style hot chicken, which is served in seven different spice levels from No Spice to Reaper.
Expect sliders, tenders, ‘next-level’ top-loaded shakes and slushes.
It’s grown so quickly that in 2021, it caught the eye of none other than rapper Drake, who is a ‘significant investor’ in the brand.
The fried chicken spot will be moving into the large corner unit at Printworks, which has previously been Busaba Thai, and Floripa, with 139 covers.
Dave’s Hot Chicken is coming to Manchester
Inside, it will feature towering ceilings, exposed steelwork, and laser lights, claiming to be a ‘full-on sensory trip, where music, light and fried chicken will come together to create a high-voltage experience’.
There will also be custom graffiti inspired by L.A.-based street artists Splatterhaus and Dehm.
Dave’s Hot Chicken still has hour-long queues down in London, several months after opening on Shaftesbury Avenue – next up will be a Birmingham branch in July before Manchester opens later this summer.
And this is just the start of a nationwide expansion.
Jim Attwood, Managing Director of Dave’s Hot Chicken UK, said: “Printworks Manchester is the ideal setting for our next UK site – right at the heart of one of the country’s most exciting cities.
“The new restaurant pays homage to Manchester’s legendary warehouse rave scene, with an industrial-inspired design and bold, high-energy atmosphere to match our signature flavours.
“We can’t wait to bring something fresh to this iconic venue and its vibrant mix of entertainment, food and culture.”
Dave’s Hot Chicken will open at Printworks Manchester on 8 August.
