For a few hours on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, restaurant Pho will be handing out portions of pho soup - the national dish of Vietnam - to students in town, and will be offering a 25% discount at its permanent restaurant in Hockley during the autumn term.

Students showing valid ID can claim their free pho noodle soup from a Pho-Fix pop-up on Smithy Row in town, choosing from three flavours, Classic Beef, Spicy Chicken or Spicy THIS Isn't Chicken Phở. 

The restaurant is also giving out “freebies and prizes” to students coming along to the pop-up, which will operate between 12-3pm today.

From this week until October 31, students dining in at the Pho restaurant on Carlton Street in Hockley will be able to claim a 25% discount on food.

The company, which operates Pho restaurants throughout the UK, is looking to emulate the success of a similar pop-up venture in Soho in London, last December.

Pho claims that the traditional Vietnamese dish, a broth, filled with fresh herbs and spices, protein, carbohydrates and vegetables, has proven to boost health, wellbeing and immunity, and can serve as the “ultimate hangover food”.

Perfect timing with Fresher’s Week just around the corner.
