Crunching numbers: ‘We know that less than 20% of people regularly buy a savoury snack with a drink and the main reason for not doing so is ‘I just didn’t think about it’,’ Matt Smith, marketing director for Tayto Group says. With the value sales of crisps, snacks and nuts in the UK’s pubs and bars totalling £24m pre-pandemic, The Morning Advertiser sinks its teeth into the art of the upsell.
With a third national lockdown in the rear-view mirror and pub gardens open as of 12 April, the on-trade can look ahead to a summer of blue-sky drinking as Britain’s parched, pub-going public return to their locals.
Former Royal British Legion site to finally go on sale in Barrowby near Grantham

The site of a former village Royal British Legion (RBL) clubhouse could finally go on sale nearly 10 years after it was destroyed by fire.
The RBL club in Barrowby was gutted in an arson attack back in October 2011. It stood boarded up and disused for many years before it was razed to the ground in 2017 to make way for the national RBL to sell the land.
Villagers were polled by the parish council and 95 per cent of respondents voted to buy the land, on Low Road, for it to be used for the community.
Pflugerville neighborhood waits one week for power restoration

PFLUGERVILLE, Texas Residents living at the Reserve at Westcreek neighborhood in Pflugerville told KVUE on Sunday that most of their neighbors had been without power since last Sunday, Feb. 14, after the winter storm passed through Central Texas.
On Sunday, Feb. 21, dozens of Oncor workers came to the neighborhood to restore power after KVUE started asking questions.
Just before midnight, many of the residents who didn t have power for one week said they could finally turn on the lights in their homes. Even though this was an exciting moment for Reserve residents, many are wondering why it took so long for Oncor to send crews to fix outages.
THE death of 100-year-old fundraising hero Captain Sir Tom Moore prompted an outpouring of condolences and kind words from Adver readers. They paid tribute to the popular pensioner who raised millions of pounds for the NHS and inspired a nation. Tina Ceferin: “Rest in peace Captain Tom. Your walk inspired me and many others to make the most of any situation. “Following your example, I accomplished a 100 days walking challenge for Wiltshire Air Ambulance, walking 15,000 steps per day with a numb leg and just a few months after a back operation. If you made it, I had to as well.
