The clocks are finally going forward this weekend, marking lighter evenings and what feels like the official start of spring.
But the one downside is that we’ll all lose an hour in bed on Sunday, which is always a bit of a killer.
Thankfully there are 2000 free coffees and breakfasts being handed out across the nation to soften the blow a little.
Deliveroo has teamed up with some of the biggest cafe brands in the country to give away thousands of £7 vouchers, which can be spent on hot drinks and breakfast items.
The vouchers will be available to tired Brits on Sunday 26 March – the day the clocks go forward – from 7am.

Aisha Jefferson from Deliveroo said: “We know that losing an hour of valuable sleep will be a shock to the system for many of our customers. That’s why, for one day only, Deliveroo is giving away thousands of free hot drinks and breakfast items from much-loved partners, Starbucks, Caffè Nero or LEON, to help bring a smile to the nation’s faces.”
You can redeem them against any hot drinks and breakfast dishes from Starbucks, LEON, Joe & The Juice, Pret A Manger and Caffe Nero.

Those Sunday scariescould be softened with a LEON avocado and halloumi muffin, alongside a Moju ginger shot, for just 18p with a Deliveroo voucher.
Or you could get a bacon and egg muffin with a side of hash browns, or a pot of porridge with a latte, completely covered by your voucher.
Deliveroo’s other suggested breakfast orders include a plant-based sausage ciabatta with a tea from Caffe Nero, and a full breakfast bundle with a big discount from Joe & The Juice.

The £7 voucher code NOYAWNSHERE will go live at 7am on Sunday 26 March, to the first 2000 Deliveroo customers to place an order.

New Manchester restaurant receives rave review as another is slammed as ‘torture’
Daisy Jackson
Pip, a new restaurant in Manchester, has received a rave national review this week – a review which slammed another restaurant in the same feature.
Food critic William Sitwell wrote in his review in The Telegraph that Pip is charming, refined, and fabulous.
“Bravo, Pip. Pip pip!” he wrote in the glowing write-up on the new restaurant, which stands at the foot of the new Treehouse Hotel and has the acclaimed Mary-Ellen McTague at its helm.
Sitwell’s Telegraph review particularly raved about dishes including Lancashire hot pot (‘fabulously good’), a wild garlic soup (‘a gorgeous thing’), and an apple trifle (‘a gift from heaven’).
But while it was all good for Pip, there were significantly less positive adjectives heaped on another restaurant in Manchester.
In fact, he said that Pip is ‘a great-value tonic’ for the ‘brash (and pricey) torture’ across town.
That restaurant was KAJI, formerly known as MUSU, which he said was ‘all tummies, bald heads, tattoos and heat’.
Sitwell said that while the service and sashimi are good at KAJI, the ‘place is afflicted by some overbearing cooking that cheapens the noble name of Japanese cuisine’.
He wrote: “Lamb chops fail the tender test and are properly wrecked sitting on a vulgar pond of sticky “tomato ponzu”. No beast should die to have that stuff squirted anywhere near it.
“And Kaji is a Japanese gaff without sake. Which is like opening a British pub in Tokyo and forgetting to put an ale on tap.”
Sharing the review, Pip wrote: “Thankyou @telegraph and @williamsitwell for the fantastic feature. We’re so proud of our team here.”
Milk Maids, Bolton – The family-run ice cream parlour on an award-winning farm

Ice cream doesn’t come much fresher than those served at Milk Maids – in fact, you’ll be standing right on the family farm where the cows that produce the milk live, as you tuck into your scoop.
This unassuming dairy farm in Bolton has been in operation for decades, and in the same family for generations.
But it’s when sisters Fiona and Rebecca saw the full potential of all that award-winning milk being produced on their farm that Milk Maids was born.
This ice cream parlour on Dearden’s Farm in Over Hulton is now one of the hottest spots in Greater Manchester, especially when the weather is similarly hot.
Every month they release a whole batch of flavours, all made fresh daily (you can literally see Fiona legging it across the yard with buckets of milk to make fresh batches), with May specials including white chocolate and sea salt caramel, raspberry cookie, and passionfruit pavlova.

Cones can be filled with molten chocolate or pistachio creme before your ice cream is scooped and pressed into the cone.
Or you can have your chosen flavour whizzed up into a milkshake, served in a milk bun, or presented in an insulated take-home box for later.
We could wax lyrical about how good this ice cream is, but the queues really do speak for themselves, and you should go and get in it right now.
