We need to pay attention to where we put the commas! We want to be clear for our readers.
"Pause for refreshment in the panelled splendour of the Kings Arms Kitchen and before you leave, visit the Conservatory Shop, packed with must-have souvenirs."
The above sentence needs a comma after Kitchen and after and because there is a natural pause in both places. Corrected, the sentence will read Pause for refreshment in the panelled splendour of the Kings Arms Kitchen, and, before you leave, visit the Conservatory Shop, packed with must-have souvenirs.
"March back in time with the Twentieth Legion to the military Fortress of Deva, and use today's technology to discover the lives of yesterday's people."
The above sentence does not need a comma after Deva, because what happens after the and is directly connected to what happens before. So the sentence should read March back in time with the Twentieth Legion to the military Fortress of Deva and use today's technology to discover the lives of yesterday's people.
