A northern bar is hosting a series of bottomless crisp butty buffets with thousands of packets in over thirty flavours, and it sounds like heaven.
Yorkshire boozer Kicks Bar & Grill is hosting a 90-minute long bottomless buffet this summer, giving crisp fans the chance to snack on the likes of Space Invaders, Discos, NikNaks, Chipsticks, Monster Munch 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 can dig into unlimited packets of crisps and make 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 Hull 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, reports The Hoot.
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.

“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!
“But the fun doesn’t stop there, we got a live DJ who will keep the party going all night long with all the best cheesy hits.

With several dates open in April, May and June, there are a few options for crisp fans to head down and get their fill.
His post has generated a fair bit of reaction already, with one person replying: “Ridiculous advice! Loss of a table for 4 ! Empty tables for 2! Over ordered and over staffed, this stupidly from someone who should know better must corrected. Every customer counts in this day and age.”
Someone else wrote: “The amount of people booking 2 venues this year and cancelling is on the increase too!! We are now taking deposits for groups over 6 to try and eliminate this! When space is an issue booking more than you need is not fair on the venues!!”
Another commented: “A table of 3 is actually sat on a table for four. So you’re denying the business of 50% of its potential turnover. Do not do this.”

Petit Paris, a charming deli and wine bar in Manchester, announces sudden closure
Daisy Jackson
Petit Paris, a lovely little wine bar and deli in the heart of Manchester, has announced its shock closure.
The cosy spot on King Street shared the news ‘with big sadness’ over the weekend, writing: “Petit Paris, c’est fini”.
The French deli was loved for its incredible selection of wines, as well as its huge cheese boards and sandwiches you could order.
In summer, it had plenty of seating outside on the beautiful cobbled King Street where you could sit and people-watch with a glass of rose in hand.
Petit Paris wrote in a statement shared on Instagram: “Brexit and current climate for independent businesses didn’t encourage us to continue the adventure.”
The local business is still up for a Manchester Food and Drink Award, where it’s nominated for Food and Drink Retailer of the Year.
Petit Paris’s full statement reads: “Petit Paris c’est fini….

“Brexit and current climate for independent businesses didn’t encourage us to continue the adventure.
“If you want to support one more time go on and vote for us at the Manchester food & drink festival for 2024.
“Please keep supporting small independent businesses! Merci.”
