A city pub has created some "devilishly hot" chicken wings in time for Halloween.

The Brewery Tap, in Lawson Road, will be serving the limited edition dish between Tuesday, October 29 and Sunday, November 3.

And, to celebrate its launch, five contestants have been invited to take part in an eating challenge.

At 7pm on Tuesday, they will each be given a pint of their choice and eight of the wings.

A spokeswoman for the Brewery Tap explained Motherchip, which currently runs the venue's kitchen, has spent weeks "perfecting the ultimate, hot, flame-inducing sauce".

"We wanted to have a bit of fun for Halloween, so we thought if Motherchip could make some devilishly hot wings, we could incorporate our chicken wing competition into Halloween week at the Brewery Tap," she said.

The competition will run alongside an adult pumpkin carving session on October 29, a Halloween quiz on October 30, a trick-or-treat-themed party on October 31 and a live music event on November 1.
