Shoppers spot hack to get 60% off 'fabulous' £36 afternoon tea for two

Afternoon Tea Week is the perfect occasion to indulge in a quintessential afternoon tea for two. Just in time, tea enthusiasts can relish sweet and savoury delights in a snug British pub or bar at a discounted price thanks to a money saving deal stack. Afternoon Tea Week, which has been running all week nationwide, encourages everyone to partake in Britain's favourite indulgence – a pot of tea accompanied by delicate sandwiches, fluffy scones and irresistible pastries. Originating in the 19th century, the humble 'high' tea is a tradition that blends elegance with indulgence that is perfect at any time of year. Coinciding with the event, Buyagift is currently offering a tempting deal giving afternoon tea for two for £35.99. However, savvy shoppers who register with a money saving website can enjoy the experience for less than £10 per person. TopCashback is giving a free £15 bonus to all new members upon signing up, followed by a percentage back on all qualifying purchases from thousands of retailers. For new members of TopCashback and all customers of Buyagift, the price is slashed to £14.39 - that's just £7.20 per person. Existing customers can also save money, with the deal reduced to £29.39 after cashback. Diners should act quickly though as the offer runs until 23:59 on 18th August. With a wide array of venues across the UK – including popular chains like Slug and Lettuce – there are 118 locations to cater to every preference, whether you're drawn to the cosy charm of a rustic countryside inn or the lively atmosphere of a city hotspot. Afternoon tea is on offer all year round, available any day of the week or from Sunday to Thursday at Slug and Lettuce, excluding Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. Each reservation allows guests two hours to savour their tea, and any dietary needs should be mentioned at the time of booking. This deal isn't the only way to indulge in afternoon tea throughout the year, with some offers allowing you to enjoy it from the comfort of your own home. Artisan bakery Cutter and Squidge provides an afternoon tea home delivery service starting at £29.99, which includes a picnic-ready set that's perfect for enjoying outdoors on a sunny day. For those who favour biscuits over cakes, luxury hamper experts Cartwright and Butler have introduced a £20 afternoon tea selection, overflowing with decadent biscuits and presented in a beautifully designed, keepsake tin. Meanwhile, home bakers seeking fresh inspiration - or a unique gift - can grab Wonderbly's newly launched illustrated personalised baking book brimming with recipes for scrumptious treats. An excellent choice for home bakers, each book contains tantalising (and unique) cake recipes and one very special bespoke recipe. But if you'd rather just eat cake at home rather than eat cake at home, a high street favourite has got your covered. Renowned for their premium nibbles, M&S also provides a delightful Afternoon Tea Letterbox Gift featuring an assortment of cakes, biscuits and tea bags, perfect for creating something truly special at home. Whilst the Buyagift website hasn't yet received any reviews for this afternoon tea offer, several shoppers have posted their opinions on the Virgin Experience website. One patron commented: "Fabulous afternoon tea which was delicious. The staff were amazing which made the experience even better. Highly recommend The Slug and Lettuce Oxford." Another customer remarked: "All amazing! Table was ready for us when we arrived, the food was excellent and very good service." A third visitor concurred, noting: "We had a warm welcome, friendly staff lovely atmosphere and a very tasty afternoon tea." Not every guest was entirely satisfied though. One disheartened diner posted a three-star review stating: "Limited on hot drinks due to coffee machine broken. Sandwiches were not the best." On the whole, most visitors relished their Afternoon Tea at the Slug and Lettuce, making the cashback offer with TopCashback even more appealing. Another five-star review concluded by saying: "Very enjoyable. The whole of the afternoon was a great time with great food and drink." How to secure the afternoon tea for less than £15 with TopCashback: Sign up as a new member at TopCashback for free via this link. Search for Buyagift on the site, click through and buy the item normally. Get £15 cashback when you spend £15 or more. The cashback will be tracked to the TopCashback 'Earnings page' within seven days of purchase.

BBC star chef announces sudden closure of top 100 UK restaurant as he admits ‘it hasn't been working for some time'

The beloved eatery will close after service on September 21 OUT OF STEAM BBC star chef announces sudden closure of top 100 UK restaurant as he admits 'it hasn't been working for some time' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BBC‑featured chef has stunned the nation by abruptly closing down his UK Top 100 restaurant. His announcement, posted on social media, admitted bluntly: 'it hasn't been working for some time.' Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Deri Reed has become known for his ethical approach to cooking Credit: Instagram/@ethicalchef From the red‑carpet glow of Great British Menu to the grit of real‑world restaurant ownership, Deri Reed has called time on The Warren. His eatery in Carmarthen, Wales, has long enjoyed acclaim—and not just from the critics. Firmly lodged in the UK's Top 100, it became a favourite dining spot in the heart of the Welsh town. But as the post revealed, the relentless climb of costs has been an uphill battle. In a post on Instagram, Deri wrote: "We're Closing - it's taken me a long time to write this announcement, as it's something I've been putting off for too long. "For those of you who know me well, you'll know how much weight I've carried in running The Warren. "Behind the front, there's a man doing his best to keep afloat a business built on strong human and environmental ethics, while also trying to look after himself, his relationships, his home and his community. "The truth is, it hasn't been working for me for some time." He told customers that The Warren would be "going into hibernation for a little while" after service on September 21. "I don't see this as an ending. I imagine a future where this space is alive with new collaborations, where community food projects have a home here, and where The Warren continues to make noise from the streets of Carmarthen," he added. "With the support of some brilliant people and organisations, I'll be exploring what that could look like. "In the meantime, our team is ready to give you the best of what we've got over the next five weeks. "So please do come in, enjoy a meal with us, use any vouchers you've been holding onto, and help us celebrate the wonderful achievements we've made together so far." Many took to social media to express their heartbreak, with one writing: "Ah I'm so sad to read this! But you always have to do what's best for you." "It's really tough having ethics in the hospitality business, or indeed just having an independent hospitality business- well done for sticking to your principles and I sincerely hope there's a phoenix rising soon!" Another echoed: "So sad to read this and excited to see what is next for you... sending all the love and encouragement to you." Deri won Chef of the Year at the Food Made Good awards in 2019, and is also a key member of the Cegin Hedyn - a community kitchen and canteen in Camarthen. It first opened in 2022 and serves plant-based, canteen-style lunches to diners who pay what they can. He was also a BBC Morning Live Community Food Champion in 2024 and has made countless TV appearances. 2 The chef said the business hadn't been working for a 'long time' Credit: Instagram/@ethicalchef

'Rare' one pound coin sells for £2,500 but only if it features microscopic detail

The extremely rare £1 coin is turning heads among collectors online after an expert revealed what you need to look out for to guarantee you strike gold yourself... It's no secret some rare coins are becoming more and more popular among collectors. Previously, the 'rarest penny coin in UK history' caused a meltdown online after holding a mega value of £72,000. ‌ Then a rare 20p coin with a problem became known to people, while others were warned over a penny selling for £5million. Now it's time to turn your attention to an extremely rare one pound coin which sold for £2,500. Instagram user @CoinCollectingWizard, who boasts 30,600 followers, discussed the 2016 coin. ‌ In a post, he said: "This is a UK £1 and there is a rare dual-dated error worth a lot of money, here is what you need to look out for. ‌ "You're looking for a 2016 obverse dated coin with 2017 micro-engraving on the reverse so small you might need a microscope." He continued: "We understand that at least one example was sold for £2,500 to a buyer in Spain in 2017. "The error is particularly difficult to spot due to the size of the micro-engraving so be sure to keep an eye out for this one. "It's worth checking any 2016 coins as it is one of the hardest errors to spot. "Remember you are looking for a 2016 obverse dated coin with 2017 micro engraving on the reverse so make sure to check all your £1 coins. This is an easy error to miss as it's so small." ‌ So why is everyone going wild for this coin? Firstly, this piece marked the final production of the old round £1 coin. It was essentially replaced by the new 12-sided pound coin which entered UK circulation a year later in 2017. As there were many minted in 2016 to prepare for the 2017 launch, some coins inevitably featured a rare minting error where the micro-engraved date on the rim was incorrect. This specific error, known as the dual-dated coin, is highly sought after by collectors. It features the fifth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and was designed by Jody Clark, with the Latin inscription "ELIZABETH II · DEI · GRA · REG · FID · DEF ·" and the year "2016". While it might be extremely rare to spot in your change, it's still worth looking as it holds a huge value.
