The popular menu item has been axed
The Asian-inspired dip, which was often served with breast bites, was a popular choice amongst diners.
Confused punters took to Reddit to find out where the beloved dish had gone.
Writing in a thread one customer asked if anyone knew where the sauce had gone, adding they would be "devastated" if it was axed.
Another person said: "Not very happy about it but its gone. So good with breast bites."
The Sun reached out to Wetherspoons who confirmed the sauce was taken off menus on May 14.
A spokesperson said: ' The company reviews its menus regularly and on occasion, some items will be taken off.
'This is the case with the sticky soy sauce."
'We appreciate that some customers will be disappointed and apologise to them.'
The news will come as a blow to customers who in the past described the sauce as "the one".
Another fan previously said they "lived" for the beloved liquid condiment.
The Sun tries Wetherspoons' new menu
It comes as the affordable chain has shaken up its menu in recent weeks.
That includes it's famous £6.49 chicken bites, which are "temporarily unavailable" on menus across all pubs in the UK.
The staple item featured 10 crispy chicken bites, chips and a bunch of sauces.
Spoons has also cut steak, mixed grills and gammon from menus across the country in a cost-cutting shake-up.
But it is not all bad news for punters as the chain has launched a range of new Gourmet Burgers.
Spoons also launched a £2.99 breakfast deal in February, with customers able to get a breakfast muffin or small breakfast with soft or hot drink.
MORE AXED MENU ITEMS
Wetherspoons is not the only chain switching up its menus.
Greggs recently axed its Chargrill Chicken Oval Bite in a blow to fans.
A spokesperson for Greggs told The Sun the bite has been axed to make way for the new Roast Chicken Salad Roll, which launched in May.
The Sun also exclusively revealed in May the chain had axed its Spicy Veg Curry Bake.

Casablanca anchors itself in Paris with first flagship on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré
Casablanca, the luxury brand founded by Charaf Tajer, has opened its inaugural flagship store in Paris, choosing the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré as its entry into physical retail. The opening signals more than a retail expansion and underscores the brand's ambition to solidify its cultural and commercial footprint in one of the world's most historically significant fashion capitals. The location, on a corner plot within Paris's prestigious 8th arrondissement on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, is a high-value corridor for global luxury, home to maisons such as Hermès and Chanel, and long associated with international cachet. For emerging houses like Casablanca, the street offers not just visibility but a validation within the fashion hierarchy. A high-value corridor for global luxury Paris is, of course, a critical base for fashion brands, not only as a global destination for tourism and luxury shopping, but also as the centre of haute couture, institutional credibility, and artistic heritage. Real estate along the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré carries both financial and narrative weight; obtaining a retail foothold here is rare, especially for young labels. For Tajer, a Paris native raised in the multicultural Belleville neighbourhood, the store is also personal. 'Five or six years ago, I said, 'I want a corner on that street,' and everyone said it was impossible,' he recounts. 'Opening this store is like coming home—but more than that, it's about bringing something new to Paris, something progressive.' The three-level boutique, designed with Steve Grimes (Casablanca's brand art director), London-based Counterfeit Studio, and Morocco's Elements Lab, reflects the brand's recurring themes of sport, cinema, and cultural duality. Its design references range from the classical—arched niches, Haussmannian limestone, and Carrara marble mosaics—to the cinematic and speculative, such as a Kubrick-inspired lightbox ceiling and a sculptural tennis court that binds the store's two upper floors. Casablanca boutique, Paris Credits: Benoit Florençon The aesthetic interplay of old and new, luxury and sport, Paris and Casablanca, is deliberate. The lower level is wrapped in plush green carpet that climbs walls and curves across transparent display cases, designed as both retail fixtures and collectible art. On the ground floor, a palette of rich red, green, and blue interrupts the neutral architecture, offering a visual articulation of the brand's DNA: bold yet refined, heritage-conscious yet forward-looking. The flagship follows seven years of steady brand growth, largely defined by Casablanca's distinctive blend of Mediterranean leisurewear, graphic storytelling, and aspirational positioning. With its retail debut, the brand transitions from being digitally native and stockist-driven to establishing a direct-to-consumer, immersive environment. 'I'm not a dreamer—I'm a man of projects,' Tajer says. 'This isn't just a store. It's proof of what's possible.' A second flagship is due to open in Beverly Hills later this summer.

Budget airline to launch more flights to one of the world's cheapest holiday destinations
And what it is like flying with the airline according to the Sun's Head of Travel for Digital TAKING OFF Budget airline to launch more flights to one of the world's cheapest holiday destinations Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BUDGET airline is increasing flights to an affordable holiday destination - less than a year after they first launched. Norse Atlantic Airways started the new route from London Gatwick to Cape Town in October 2024. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Norse Atlantic Airways is adding even more flights to Cape Town Credit: Getty 3 Cape Town is often named a top affordable winter sun destination Credit: Alamy And the huge demand for the South African route has since seen them extend the flight season as well as add more flights. Previously offering three flights a week, this was increased to four earlier this year. And the airline has now increased it even further, with six flights a week being launched. And the seasonal route previously only operated until the end of April. Read more on airlines LONDON CALLING Little-known airline to launch first ever flights from London airport However the new season will operate from October 2, 2025 until May 2026. Bård Nordhagen, Norse Chief Commercial Officer, said: "Following the success of our inaugural season we see great opportunity in the South African market. 'By expanding services, we wish to show to the trade and consumer markets we are committed to this route.' Andrew Fish, Head of UK & South African Sales at Norse Atlantic Airways added: 'We are seeing exceptional momentum on this route, and this frequency increase reflects both customer confidence and Norse Atlantic Airlines' long-term growth strategy." Cape Town was named the best value long-haul holiday destination in Post Office Travel Money's Long Haul Holiday Report last year. Not only is it affordable, but don't expect any jet lag either with no time difference. Best Value Winter Sun Long Haul Destinations And it is a great winter sun hotspot, with highs of 27C in November and January. The Sun's Head of Travel (Digital) Caroline McGuire recently visited Cape Town with her family. She said: "Everything in Cape Town is so accessible that we landed at 8.30am, got our hire car, checked into the hotel and were on the glorious Camps Bay beach in swimsuits by 11.30am. "Camps Bay suburb feels like a cross between Cannes and a fancy California town, with its white sandy beach, backdrop of Table Mountain and smart restaurants lining the beachfront. What is it like flying on Norse? The Sun's Head of Travel (Digital) Caroline McGuire recently tried the airline's Premium Economy out. Norse doesn't do online check-in - everyone checks in at the airport. And Premium passengers are given their own lane, so we waited about five minutes before dropping off our bags and getting our tickets. Most importantly, the chairs are very roomy. With a very decent recline that allowed my whole family to get a decent night's sleep. My son pretty much slept uninterrupted from 10pm to 7am, while I snatched a manageable 5ish hours, which is far more than I've ever done before in Economy on a long haul flight. Crew hand over ear plugs, eye masks, pillows and blankets at the start of the flight, as well as headphones for the TVs (you have to pay £5 for these in Economy). Two meals are also included - I had a decent tortellini, side salad and cheesecake-type evening meal with complimentary wine, and a hot cooked breakfast, plus a croissant, yogurt and mini fruit salad. To give you an idea of price, return fares for two adults and one child in premium economy cost £3,583 to Cape Town next March, while return fares in Premium Economy on a rival airline cost £5,000. "Better still, the one-hour time difference meant we had no jet lag, so we could get stuck in straight away without the need to sleep it off. "The famous mountain was the first adventure spot on our list. "And it made for a great family day out thanks to the rotating gondolas that slowly spin to offer panoramic views on the ascent to the top. " Norse currently offers six long-haul destinations, including Miami, New York, Bangkok and Cape Town. Here are some of the other new flights that have launched this year.

US equity funds see outflows on trade policy worries, Europe drew inflows ahead of ECB rate cut
June 6 (Reuters) - U.S. equity funds saw outflows for a third straight week through June 4, as concerns lingered over uncertainty surrounding U.S. trade policies, while investors remained cautious ahead of a key jobs report due Friday. At the same time, European equity funds witnessed firm demand for an eighth successive week, influenced by a weaker inflation print and expectations of a policy rate cut by the European Central Bank, which it delivered on Thursday. According to LSEG Lipper data, investors withdrew a net $7.42 billion from U.S. equity funds during the week while scooping up approximately $2.72 billion worth of regional funds in Europe. Asian funds also witnessed a net $1.84 billion worth of purchases during the week. Investors, meanwhile, bought $667 million worth of sectoral funds, extending net purchases into a second successive week. The tech and industrial sectors received a significant $909 million and $878 million respectively in inflows, while the financials and healthcare sectors lost nearly $800 million each in outflows. Global bond funds witnessed a net $16.17 billion worth of accumulations for a seventh successive weekly inflow. Investors pumped a combined $4.66 billion into dollar denominated short- and medium-term bond funds, logging their biggest weekly net purchase since April 2024. High yield bond funds also saw a massive $2.93 billion worth of inflows. Simultaneously, weekly inflows in money market funds surged to a five-month-high of $108.5 billion. Gold and precious metals commodity funds were also popular as investors poured $1.69 billion-the highest in seven weeks- into these funds. Among emerging markets, bond funds witnessed a sixth weekly net purchase, amounting $1.99 billion, while equity funds experienced about $191 million worth of net additions, data covering 29,720 funds showed.
