Tiny clue on edge of £1 coin that makes it worth 2500 times its face value – do you have one lurking in your change?
A TINY clue on the edge of a £1 coin could make it worth 2500 times its face value.
A coin enthusiast has revealed a crucial detail to watch out for that could earn you some “mega money”.
Sharing a clip with his 134,600 followers on TikTok, the Coin Collector UK said: “There are a few errors that can be found on your £1 coins.
“The main ones you want to be looking for is the dual dated £1 coin.”
“The main ones you want to be looking for is the dual dated £1 coin.”
The TikToker demonstrated what to look for using a normal £1 coin from 2016.
He continued: “So you can see, when we flip this over on the obverse side this is a 2016 version of the £1 coin.
“However some were made with the micro-lettering on the side with the date 2017.
“It is an extremely rare error.
“We only know of one that’s actually being sold to a buyer in Spain, and this sold for £2,500.”
He advised using a microscope to check for this error as it is “extremely fine”.
He insisted “it’s definitely worth checking” if you have a 2016 dated coin.
Just look on the Queen‘s head side for the micro-lettering and on the reverse side for the date 2017, he added.
Lots of fans jumped to the comment section to share their thoughts.
One said: “Will look out for this.”
While a second person said: “I have 4 of them.”
Meanwhile a third asked: “I got this coin and please tell me where can I sell it.”To which the TikToker replied: “Auction.”
How to spot if your coin is rare
The most valuable and rare coins are usually the ones with low mintage numbers or an error.
A mintage number relates to how many of a certain coin were made, so the lower the number, the rarer and, generally, the more valuable a coin is.
Meanwhile, error coins are pieces that were incorrectly struck during the manufacturing process.
How to spot valuable items
COMMENTS by Consumer Editor, Alice Grahns:
It’s easy to check if items in your attic are valuable.
As a first step, go on eBay to check what other similar pieces, if not the same, have sold for recently.
Simply search for your item, filter by “sold listings” and toggle by the highest value.
This will give you an idea of how much others are willing to pay for it.
The method can be used for everything ranging from rare coins and notes to stamps, old toys, books and vinyl records – just to mention a few examples.
For coins, online tools from change experts like Coin Hunter are also helpful to see how much it could be worth.
Plus, you can refer to Change Checker’s latest scarcity index update to see which coins are topping the charts.
For especially valuable items, you may want to enlist the help of experts or auction houses.
Do your research first though and be aware of any fees for evaluating your stuff.
As a rule of thumb, rarity and condition are key factors in determining the value of any item.
You’re never guaranteed to make a mint, however.
The ultra-rare “lines over face” 50p error coin is one such coin, which has been known to sell for £1,500 in the past.
Meanwhile, others with little-known designs have been known to sell for up to £3,000.
How to sell a rare coin
There are three ways you can sell rare coins – on eBay, Facebook, or in an auction.
If you’re selling on Facebook, there are risks attached.
Some sellers have previously been targeted by scammers who say they want to buy a rare note or coin and ask for money up front to pay for a courier to pick it up.
But the courier is never actually sent and you’re left out of pocket.
Rather than doing this, it’s always best to meet a Facebook seller in person when buying or selling a rare note or coin.
Ensure it’s a public meeting spot that’s in a well-lit area and if you can, avoid using payment links.
Next, you can sell at auction, which is generally the safest option.
You can organise this with The Royal Mint’s Collectors Service.
It has a team of experts who can help you authenticate and value your coin.
You can get in touch via email and a member of the valuation team will get back to you.
You will be charged for the service though – the cost varies depending on the size of your collection.
You can also sell rare coins on eBay.
But always bear in mind, you will only make what the buyer is willing to pay at that time.

Exact date Aldi’s wooden toy range hits stores just in time for Christmas and prices start from £2.99
ALDI has revealed the exact date its wooden toy range will hit stores just in time for Christmas.
Prices start from just £2.99 for the supermarket giant’s sell out range which includes more than 50 products.
The German retailer’s range varies widely and includes items such as Wooden 2D Wheeled Animals and a Wooden Climbing Triangle and Cube.
Other gift ideas include a brand new Wooden Horse Box and a Beauty Station to let your child’s imagination run wild, both retailing for £24.99 each.
Shoppers will have to act fast, however, as the range sold-out when it was released last year.
The chain also laid out its top 10 wooden toys as gifts to “help mum, dad, and Santa’s little helper with what to choose.”
The list included, in no particular order:
- Wooden Kettle, Coffee & Hot Chocolate Maker
- Wooden Kitchen Sets
- Double Sided Easel
- Wooden Climbing Arch and Slide
- Wooden Toy Kitchen
- Wooden Birthday Cake
- Wooden Cupcakes and Doughnuts Assortment
- Wooden Tabletop Assortment
- Toy Roleplay Bags
- Wooden Grocery Sets
The discount retailer chain is also bringing back the wooden Cuthbert which previously caused a stir with M&S fans.
In 2021 M&S lodged an infringement claim against Aldi arguing the chocolate cake was too similar to its classic Colin the Caterpillar which has been around for 30 years with an unchanged design.
But Cuthbert returned to shelves in February 2022 after the two supermarkets called a truce in an agreed settlement.
Aldi claims this years range of wooden toys is its “biggest ever” and that shoppers can expect the “same great value” as 2023’s set.
This comes as rival Lidl announced its own range of wooden toys.
Its set of products are expected to arrive in stores across the UK from October 17 with Aldi’s range available from October 10.
How to save money at Aldi
Unlike other major supermarkets, Aldi does not have a rewards or point card system but that does not mean you cannot save on your shop.
Every week the store releases a list of special buys, which are unique bargain products you find online at Aldi and in-store.
The store releases a fresh range of deals every Thursday and Sunday, so be sure to check regularly to see what’s new.
Meanwhile, the store also regularly sells fruit and vegetables at highly discounted prices, as part of its ‘super six’ deal.
It also does weekly saving offers on typically pricey items such as meat and fish.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.

The 10 freebies and discounts worth up to £70k you can get on PIP benefits in October
MILLIONS of people claiming the Personal Independence Payout (PIP) benefit are eligible for extra freebies and discounts.
Those who claim PIP for help with long-term health conditions and disabilities could be missing out on extra advantages which come with the benefit.
PIP is an important benefit for adults aged 16 and over who have not reached state pension age (66) and is made up of two parts.
One is to help with day-to-day tasks and the other is to help with mobility for those who need help getting around.
And whether you are able to claim both depends on your disability and how it affects you.
The amount you can get within these brackets also differs depending on your individual circumstance.
Payments are issued every four weeks.
In April, payments for the daily living component increased from £101.75 to £108.55 for enhanced and £68.10 to £72.65 for standard.
The mobility component also rose from £71 to £75.75 for enhanced, and £26.09 to £28.70 for standard.
If you get both parts, you can receive a maximum of £184.30 every 4 weeks – which is nearly £10,000 a year.
Eligible applicants must have lived in England, Scotland or Wales for at least two of the last three years, and currently living in one of these countries.
Whereas the process is different if you’re from Northern Ireland, you live abroad, or you’re not a British citizen.
Health professionals assess the claimant to work out the level of financial help needed to support the mental or physical disability.
Then payments are made every four weeks into the individual’s bank account, tax-free.
Here are 10 freebies you can also get if you claim the PIP benefit. It could be worth thousands of pounds extra a year, but of course the exact amount can vary depending on your circumstances.
Council tax discounts – £2,171 average
People who claim benefits can apply on the Government website for a council tax reduction.
This means if you’re either the daily living or mobility part of PIP you could get money off your council tax bill.
Some claimants are eligible for as much as a full discount.
Though the amount will vary depending on where you live and how much of the benefit you receive.
The average Band D council tax set by local authorities in England for the 2024/25 financial year is £2,171 – meaning this much could be saved if you got a full discount.
In order to find out if you are eligible, contact your local authority, and they will seek a PIP letter as evidence.
Reportedly around 2.8 million people don’t take advantage of the council tax discount, meaning £2.7 billion goes unclaimed each year.
Blue badge – £3,800 average
With a blue badge, those with disabilities can claim exemption from certain parking restrictions and take advantage of designated parking spaces.
The spaces usually offer more room to the individual and are located closer to store entrances.
Blue badge holders can park on single or double lines for up to three hours as long as there are no loading or unloading restrictions.
They can also get free or discounted on-street parking.
According to Just Park, Brits spend £3,800 on parking on average each year.
Which means PIP claimants could be saving this much with their blue badge.
The blue badge must be visible to others and displayed on the windscreen of your car.
Those who qualify for a blue badge receive one of the following benefits:
- Disability living allowance
- War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement
- Received a lump sum payment as part of the Armed Forces compensation scheme (tariffs 1 to 8)
Anyone with a limited ability to walk, a disability in their arms, or who are registered blind are eligible for the badge.
To apply, you must submit PIP evidence to your council – however they usually charge a fee up to £10.
Benefit boost – £7,334.40
Individuals on PIP as well as one of a number of other benefits can claim a premium – which is an extra benefit top up.
You can claim a boost if you’re receiving one of the following alongside PIP:
- Housing Benefit
- Jobseeker’s Allowance
- Income Support
- Working Tax Credit
- Employment and Support Allowance – but only if you get the PIP daily living component
- Pension Credit – but only if you get the PIP daily living component
If eligible, you could get either:
- £39.85 a week for a single person (disability premium)
- £56.80 a week for a couple (disability premium)
- £76.40 a week for a single person (severe disability premium)
- £152.80 a week if you’re in a couple and are both eligible (severe disability premium)
- £19.55 a week for a single person (enhanced disability premium)
- £27.90 a week if you’re in a couple and at least one of you is eligible (enhanced disability premium)
This means with the maximum amount, you could claim up to £7,945.60 annually.
The top up can happen automatically – or, if you haven’t received it when you should have, you should get in touch with the department in charge of handling your benefits.
This will either be HMRC or the Department for Work and Pensions, and they will likely ask for proof of your PIP letter.
Go to Gov.uk and use the Benefits Calculator to check your eligibility.
Capped water bills – £1,053
If you are claiming PIP, you could also benefit from a water bill cap thanks to the WaterSure scheme.
This means your bill could be capped, so you’re paying less than others in your area.
Claimants must be on a water meter or be waiting to have one installed, and they should also be able to prove that their disability causes them to use more water than an average household.
According to WaterSure, the average water bill a household pays annually is currently £471.
This means your bill will be capped at this amount if you are claiming PIP.
However, according to Martin Lewis, one person was refunded £1,053 through the scheme.
This scheme applies to households in England only, and they should apply by contacting their water supplier via its phone line or website.
Vehicle tax reduction – £1,177.50
Vehicle tax is the same as road tax – it is the price you pay to drive on the roads.
People who claim the standard mobility component of PIP can get up to a 50% reduction in vehicle tax.
You can also get 100% off if you’re on the enhanced rate mobility component.
In some cases vehicle tax can hit prices of as high as £2,355 a year, so the reduction could be as much as £1,177.50 for PIP claimants.
This is not always the case, and the amount could likely be lower.
To be eligible, applicants must be registering the vehicle in their own name or the name of their nominated driver.
They must also provide:
- A letter or statement from DWP that shows your PIP rate and the dates you’re getting it
- The vehicle log book (V5C)
- A V10 form
- An original MOT or GVT certificate (if your vehicle needs one)
- A cheque or payable order (made out to “DVLA, Swansea”) for 50% of the full rate of car tax for the vehicle
Paperwork should then be sent to DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1BF.
Motability Scheme – £23,760
The Motability Scheme is designed to allow PIP claimants to lease a car for their specific needs.
There are over 2,000 cars to choose from and insurance, tax and servicing are all sorted within the lease.
This is for people on the higher rate of the mobility component on PIP, and who also have at least 12 months remaining on their allowance.
Car rental costs around £66 a day on average in London, which could typically amount to a whopping £23,760 over the year – a considerable save.
Go to motability.co.uk for information on how to apply.
Free prescriptions – £115.80
If you are claiming PIP and have a certain qualifying illness, you could get your NHS prescriptions for free.
The prescription charge is £9.65 which means you could save £115.80 a year.
The full list of disabilities are available on the NHS website, and include cancer diabetes and epilsepsy.
Claimants must provide a medical exemption ticket (MedEx) which you can get online if you ask your GP for a signed FP92A form.
Disabled person’s railcard – £113
According to National Rail, adults with a disability can get a third off of travel with a Disabled Persons Railcard.
This means you could claim an average annual savings of up to £113, says the group.
With your PIP award letter, you can apply on National Rail’s website.
Are you missing out on benefits?
YOU can use a benefits calculator to help check that you are not missing out on money you are entitled to
Charity Turn2Us’ benefits calculator works out what you could get.
Entitledto’s free calculator determines whether you qualify for various benefits, tax credit and Universal Credit.
MoneySavingExpert.com and charity StepChange both have benefits tools powered by Entitledto’s data.
You can use Policy in Practice’s calculator to determine which benefits you could receive and how much cash you’ll have left over each month after paying for housing costs.
Your exact entitlement will only be clear when you make a claim, but calculators can indicate what you might be eligible for.
Discounted days out – £144
Many attractions offer discounted prices to those who can show they are on PIP or have a blue badge.
National Trust and English Heritage offer free entry to a person and their carer through the Essential Compassion Card.
An annual pass for these sites usually costs £72 a year, meaning you could save a combined £144 with your carer also entering free.
Discounts can also extend to cinema, theatre and art gallery visits, as well as the additional bonus of reduced bus and train travel.
To browse which discounts you can get, disability charity Scope offer a useful summary of what’s on offer.
Disabled facilities grant – £30,000
PIP provides useful evidence for those wishing to apply for a Disabled Facilities Grant.
This is a grant which allows you to rework your home to suit the needs of your disability.
For example, bar handles for bathrooms or ramps for wheelchair access.
People in England can get a grant up to £30,000, while those in Wales can get £26,000, and Northern Ireland £25,000.
This grant scheme does not include Scotland.
This is the general maximum, and could be much less depending on your circumstance.
Gov.uk specifies that in specific cases the grant could be even higher, based on the cost of the work on the property.
The grant can be acquired through your local council, so you should go to their website to find out how to apply.
How do I apply for PIP?
You can make a new PIP claim by calling the Department for Work and Pensions on 0800 917 2222.
There are also other ways to claim if you find it difficult to use a telephone. See Gov.UK for more information.
When you claim, you’ll need:
- Your contact details
- Date of birth
- National Insurance number
- Bank or building society account number and sort code
- Your doctor or health worker’s name, address and telephone number
- Dates and addresses for any time you’ve spent abroad, in a care home or hospital
Someone else can call on your behalf, but you’ll need to be with them when they call.
You’ll then be sent a form to fill in, after which you’ll be invited for an assessment or your health or social care worker will be asked for information.
After this, you’ll be sent a letter telling you if your claim has been successful.
You can find out more on the government’s website.
What is PIP?
HOUSEHOLDS suffering from a long-term illness, disability or mental health condition can get extra help through personal independence payments (PIP).
The maximum you can receive from the Government benefit is £172.75 a week.
PIP is for those over 16 and under the state pension age, currently 66.
Crucially, you must also have a health condition or disability where you either have had difficulties with daily living or getting around – or both- for three months, and you expect these difficulties to continue for at least nine months (unless you’re terminally ill with less than 12 months to live).
You can also claim PIP if you’re in or out of work and if you’re already getting limited capability for work and work-related activity (LCWRA) payments if you claim Universal Credit.
PIP is made up of two parts and whether you get one or both of these depends on how severely your condition affects you.
You may get the mobility part of PIP if you need help going out or moving around. The weekly rate for this is either £26.90 or £71.
While on the daily living part of PIP, the weekly rate is either £68.10 or £101.75 – and you could get both elements, so up to £172.75 in total.
You can claim PIP at the same time as other benefits, except the armed forces independence payment.
Make a claim by calling the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) on 0800 917 2222.

More Wetherspoons to pubs their close doors for good including ‘stunning’ venue – with four still at risk
WETHERSPOONS has confirmed the closure of more of their pubs including an iconic “stunning” venue.
The popular pub chain has closed locations across the UK, including Stafford, London, Halifax and Penarth.
The Geroge, Wanstead Wetherspoons is set to pull down their shutters for good on October 13.
Punters took to social media to express their frustrations over the closure of another popular branch.
One user wrote: “That’s sad.”
“My local. A very popular pub,” another commented.
The George had been a favourite among locals, who often left glowing reviews about the pub.
“Good service, competitively priced drinks and tasty food,” a user said.
Another added: “Excellent staff and well-kept beer at low prices.”
It comes after the Wetherspoons revealed that five pubs had been put up for sale, four of which are already under offer.
The Ivor Davies in Cardiff is up for sale, while the four pubs under offer are the Sir Daniel Arms in Swindon, the Hain Line in St Ives, the Foot of the Walk in Leith and the Quay in Poole
Under offer may mean that a bid is being considered or has been accepted.
But as the sale has not been finalised the pub remains on the market
Wetherspoons regularly reviews the branches it has up for sale and has often taken venues off the market to continue operating as part of the pub chain.
In its annual report published today, the pub giant said the disposal of the 27 pubs it has closed gave rise to a cash inflow of £8.9 million.
Wetherspoons has sold the freehold of premises it owned outright and returned others to their landlords.
The pub sites sold may reopen to welcome drinkers under their new owners.
Landlords could also find new tenants, so Wetherspoons’ departure doesn’t necessarily mean the loss of a pub for locals.
The sites closed are:
- The Saltoun Inn, Fraserburgh – sold
- Widow Frost, Mansfield – sold
- General Sir Redvers Buller, Crediton – sold
- Butler’s Bell, Stafford – sold
- Coronet, Holloway Road, London – sold
- White Hart, Todmorden – sold
- Asparagus, Battersea – sold
- Mock Beggar Hall, Moreton – sold
- Sir Norman Rae, Shipley – sold
- Lord Arthur Lee, Fareham – sold
- Market Cross, Holywell – sold
- The Cross Keys, Peebles – sold
- The Regent, Kirkby in Ashfield – sold
- An Geata Arundel, Waterford – sold
- Jolly Sailor, Hanham – sold
- Millers Well, Purley, Halifax – sold
- The London & Rye in Rushey Green, Catford – sold
- Bankers Draft, Eltham – returned to landlord
- Sir John Arderne, Newark – returned to landlord
- Night Jar, Ferndown – returned to landlord
- Moon and Bell, Loughborough – returned to landlord
- Capitol, Forest Hill – returned to landlord
- Hart and Spool, Borehamwood – returned to landlord
- Alfred Herring, Palmers Green – returned to landlord
- Tichenham Inn, Ickenham – returned to landlord
- Bears Head, Penarth – returned to landlord
Wetherspoons has also opened two new sites in the last 12 months – The Captain Flinders near Euston Station and the Star Light at Heathrow Airport, and The Grand Assembly in Marlow.
Several sites have also been expanded including the Red Lion,
Skegness; the Talk of the Town, Paignton; the Albany Palace, Trowbridge and the Mile Castle, Newcastle.
It follows Wetherspoons being sued for more than £200,000 after a drinker fell to his death from a second-floor window.
And the popular pub chain’s 12-day beer festival will be back with a bang tomorrow with some ales selling for less than £2 a pint.
How can I save money at Wetherspoons?
PUB-GOERS love Wetherspoons for its competitive pricing and low-cost meals – but did you know there are more ways to save money?
Senior consumer reporter Olivia Marshall explains how.
Free refills – Buy a £1.50 tea, coffee or hot chocolate and you can get free refills. The deal is available all day, every day.
Check a map – Prices can vary from one location the next, even those close to each other.
So if you’re planning a pint at a Spoons, it’s worth popping in nearby pubs to see if you’re settling in at the cheapest.
Choose your day – Each night the pub chain runs certain food theme nights.
For instance, every Thursday night is curry club, where diners can get a main meal and a drink for a set price cheaper than usual.
Pick-up vouchers – Students can often pick up voucher books in
their local near universities, which offer discounts on food and drink, so keep your eyes peeled.
Get appy – The Wetherspoons app allows you to order and pay for your drink and food from your table – but you don’t need to be in the pub to use it.
Taking full advantage of this, cheeky customers have used social media to ask their friends and family to order them drinks. The app is free to download on the App Store or Google Play.
Check the date – Every year, Spoons holds its Tax Equality Day to highlight the benefits of a permanently reduced tax bill for the pub industry.
It usually takes place in September, and last year it fell on Thursday, September 14.
As well as its 12-day Real Ale Festival every Autumn, Wetherspoons also holds a Spring Festival.

Shoppers rush to buy personalised Christmas stockings from department store scanning for 50p instead of £30
CHRISTMAS has come early for shoppers at this department store after they discovered a £30 festive essential is scanning for just 50p.
Savvy customers have been rushing to House of Fraser‘s website to bag up the Xmas item which has been described as “brilliant”.
The department store giant has sent fans wild by selling a personalised “Mrs Gonk Stocking” for under a pound which is 98 per cent cheaper than the original price.
It was originally priced at a whopping £29.99 – saving buyers an unbelievable £29.49.
One customer shared the find on Facebook and posted a screenshot of the item, captioning: “House of Fraser UK… 50p!”
Excited users left comments under the post and tagged their friends.
One user said: “They have the Mr Gonk aswell for 50p!”
Another commented: “I ordered 4 of these last week, they’re brilliant for the price.”
And: “Yeah I got it, it’s lovely!”
However do bear in mind that when prices are reduced by this much it’s usually in order for stores to clear excess stock, so availability will vary.
It’s always best to phone ahead to your local shop to check what they have available to avoid disappointment.
It always pays to compare prices so you know you’re getting the best deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web.
Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
Christmas fanatics have also spotted a festive essential on offer at Home Bargains.
Shoppers are racing to their nearest store to buy £4 Polar Express slippers in time for the big day.
Last month House of Fraser shoppers were hit by delivery chaos with hundreds waiting weeks for parcels that remain undelivered.
Frustrated shoppers have struggled to reach customer service to request refunds, leaving those affected out of pocket.
The issues have plagued those who placed online orders on the retailer’s website since late August.
Angry customers have taken to social media to vent their fury, branding the company’s response as “appalling.”

Restaurant dubbed one of ‘Britain’s best’ by BBC show closes down as ‘gutted’ fans cry it’s ‘such a shame’
A RESTAURANT dubbed one of “Britain’s best” has announced it’s closing down, sparking cries from “gutted” fans.
The Swansea venue is owned by couple April and Chris Napier who featured on BBC’s Britain’s Top Takeaways in 2022, representing their previous venture.
Their current restaurant, Bangkok, is now set to close at the start of next month to the disappointment of many fans.
Diners were heartbroken at the news and took to social media to express their sadness.
Under the restaurant’s announcement on Facebook, one user said: “Such a shame.
“It was lovely watching you guys grow.”
Another added: “Gutted, to see you close always lovely food and fantastic service.”
Other commenters expressed how “sad” they were at the announcement and for the loss of the “amazing food” it provides.
Many even tagged their friends and family in the hope to visit the restaurant “one last time” before it shuts for goods.
The restaurant made its closure announcement on Facebook yesterday.
The post read: “It is with a heavy heart and this may come as a shock that we announce the closing of our restaurant.
“As much as we have loved serving you over the years (5 years in the takeaway and 2 years in the restaurant), we have made the difficult decision to step away as we have sacrificed a lot of family times and now we would love to focus on our family/work life balance.
“Thank you so much for your incredible support to our little family business and for being a part of our journey.
“We can honestly say we’ve made lots of great memories and achieved so much during the years as well as some customers that we’ve come to be friends with.
“These will be treasured forever.”
The restaurant’s final day of service will be on Sunday November 3.
However, the venue confirmed that this is “not the end” for the Thai food joint.
It said it plans to return with pop-ups in the “near future”.
The restaurant added: “[We] can’t wait to share more meals and moments with you.”
