Sheffield Hallam alumni couple Stephen and Juliette Wall opened their restaurant Pho in Leopold Square for the first time just four weeks before the coronavirus pandemic took hold in March 2020, and subsequent restrictions have meant they have experienced a series of openings and closures.

To mark their official re-opening, Pho are giving away hundreds of red flyers today with QR codes, which link to vouchers for hundreds of free pho noodle soups, curries and beers.

Stephen Wall, MD of Pho said “We opened our Leopold Square restaurant only four weeks before the initial lockdown of March 2020, so we’re viewing today as our re-launch day, and a proper chance to thank the people of Sheffield for their support over the last 15 months or so.

"We look forward to celebrating “freedom day” with our regular customers as well as offering this treat to people who’ve not had a chance to come and check us out yet.”

The offer is available today only, and diners should be able to find flyers dotted around near the railway station and on Howard Street and Surrey Street too.

Pho want everyone to know that their staff will still be masked up today and ask that their customers are too.
