Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the table service, describing servers as lovely, friendly and quick with drinks, even on busy nights such as a Harry Styles bottomless brunch and a directors night out. Food comes close behind: a juicy bacon cheeseburger from the festive bottomless brunch, the three small plates option, and generous portions that a large end of term group said were tasty. That group noted staff suggested pre-ordering, and the food then arrived in a timely manner. Cocktails and a 2 for 1 offer also earn mentions, and several call the atmosphere lively, with music playing, though one found it a bit loud. The main complaint comes from one afternoon tea party of three whose booking could not be found on arrival. The two newer bar staff then struggled to find menus, were unsure of menu items and took a while working out the till, so drinks and the order came slowly. A more experienced server then found the group a table and checked what tea options were available.

    “I visited Slug & Lettuce on 2 August for my friend's birthday after booking afternoon tea for three in advance. Unfortunately, our booking couldn't be located when we arrived.. The two boys behind the bar were polite, but they seemed quite new and lacked confidence. They had difficulty locating the menus, weren't fully familiar with the menu items, and took some time working out the till, which meant we had to wait a while for our drinks and order. They would clearly benefit from a little more training and support. Katie, however, completely turned the experience around. She was warm, welcoming, and provided exceptional customer service. She helped us choose a lovely table, checked what was available for our afternoon tea, and made sure we were well looked after throughout. She is a real credit to the team. The food was lovely and we really enjoyed it. The only other downsides were that the toilets had no toilet paper or hand soap, and the scaffolding outside wasn't mentioned beforehand. A big thank you to Katie for making our birthday celebration so enjoyable xxx”

    “Titiana and Trick were absolutely phenomenal servers, constantly checking we were ok for drinks and generally made our directors night out an absolute treat! These two deserve a pay rise for sure! Not an easy job but someone's got to do it, and these guys do it well! Well done guys! Gemma and Sarah xxx”
