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.
An announcement by the bar posted on its website reads: “Get ready to munch and crunch at our Bottomless Crisp Buffet for 90 minutes! Indulge in all your favourite current and retro crisps including Space Invaders, Discos, NikNaks, Hula Hoops and more!
“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.
“Dress in your comfiest snack-eating attire and get ready to enjoy the night with friends, while munching on the best crisps. Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind party experience! Get your tickets now before they sell out!”
With several dates open in April, May and June, there are a few options for crisp fans to head down and get their fill.
Nostalgic ready-to-drink Breezer makes UK return after a decade
Daisy Jackson
An iconic ready-to-drink favourite has launched back into the UK – oh yes, Breezer is back.
First launched in the 1990s, Breezers – then pitched as an ‘alcopop’ – were a staple on dancefloors and at barbecues right across the UK.
And now Bacardi has decided to bring these delicious, fruity, easy-drinking bottles back to British shores.
There are three new flavours to try as Breezers return to your fridges – Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime, and Crisp Watermelon.
And Breezer launched back into Manchester last night with a suitably memorable party, turning a spot in the Northern Quarter into a corner shop.
The ‘local Cornerbop’ was stacked with your usual essentials, plus shelf after shelf of these colourful glass ready-to-drink bottles.

The Breezer relaunch party saw Tarsza and Rennie Peters spinning nostalgic anthems with a modern twist at a pop-up party in a corner shop.
Steve Young, business unit director for Bacardi in the UK & Ireland, said: “We know there is a lot of love for Breezer in the UK, and we are confident a new generation of consumers will fall in love with the new Breezer.
“RTDs are booming, however, the Flavoured Alcoholic Beverages category could do with a bit more excitement. By bringing back Breezer we’re definitely putting the fruity taste into FAB.”
The iconic ready-to-drink classic is back – and better than ever.
Drinks prices for Manchester Oasis gigs announced – and you’ll be pleasantly surprised
Daisy Jackson
The prices of drinks at Heaton Park for the five huge Manchester Oasis shows have been released in advance.
With the Gallagher brothers reuniting on stage in their hometown for the first time this weekend (and then again next week), it’s a huge moment for our city.
Those lucky enough to snag tickets have already forked out a small fortune to witness this moment in history (still scarred from the dynamic pricing debacle).
And most of us were probably bracing to spend another small fortune on beers at the Oasis Manchester gigs.
But you might be pleasantly surprised at the drinks prices up at Heaton Park for Oasis Live ’25.
It’s now been confirmed that pints of lager and cider will be just £6.50.
Before you turn your nose up, remember that pints at our two arenas – the AO Arena and Co-op Live are now sitting around the £9 mark.
Prices for other drinks, like wine and spirits, we’ll have to wait until Friday to see.
Heaton Park will also be the home of the ‘largest beer garden’ and the longest bars in the city for the Oasis reunion.
With a major heatwave predicted for the first shows, fans are being encouraged to stay hydrated (on WATER, not beer, please).
Ticket-holders will be allowed to bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml in with you, but it must be collapsible plastic.
Solid plastic and metal containers will be rejected on safety grounds.
There’s a free water point on site where you can fill up your bottles again.
Oasis will perform at Heaton Park in Manchester on 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20 July.
