  • "It was a great night, nice place, excellent service from Dan and Troy."
  • "We had the most incredible service from Rebecca and Bailey."
  • "Came in with a couple mates and instantly knew it was gonna be a good night, started ordering drinks and couldn’t have asked for a nicer gentleman to serve us."
  • "My friend Claire and I had a Sip & Supper table booked at MK last night and have to thank Bryony for her recommendations regards food-which was delicious."

Cons:

  • "Really disappointed. I drove down from Northampton to meet family from London here. The manager on duty refused and asked us to leave!"
  • "When the food came out, the waitress literally threw the plates onto the empty end of the table and walked away!"
  • "Went there for a night out with some friends and the bar service was absolutely shocking. Bar staff were more interested in talking to each other."
  • "If you would like for there to be many of the drinks on your table then the slug and his lettuce is a good time for you."
  • "Last Friday night, during the ID check at the entrance I showed my European driving license to the security person, he let me in after saying 'next time bring a UK passport or UK driving license'."
  • "The service was slow, and the staff that gave us our drinks was rude maybe with the extra money you make off your 2 for 1 cocktail scam you should get your staff to take a customer service training course."
  • "Very unhappy with our experience here, two women in the group were assaulted, pushed over and bottled leaving a big gash on one of their faces."
  • "One of the security staff here positively encourages female harassment and abuse."

Food and Drinks

Pros:

  • "Me and my friend enjoyed cocktails with sweets also in them, sitting comfortably at a clean table!"
  • "Especially liked the chicken bao buns, yum!"
  • "The Food at Slug & Lettuce was amazing, especially loved the Classic Burger it had the right amount of flavour and juiciness."
  • "I attended the lunchtime bottonless brunch today. The mushroom and Halloumi burger was 10/10."
  • "I came on Saturday for bottomless brunch with some of my girls. The food was fantastic and the drinks were to die for."
  • "We were a table of 5 at table 65. We had the most incredible service from Rebecca and Bailey. The food was great, lots of vegan options."
  • "I heard about this place from a friend of mine and only came because I heard Chef Rob works here. The food was amazing."
  • "Went for lunch here and it was very nice and not too bad prices for the hub area. Service was great."

Cons:

  • "Borderline pathetic, easy one star, it should be noted they did comp a round of drinks but they couldn't be bothered to garnish the cocktails as per previous drinks."
  • "Most people hated the food, apart from a couple - my food was overcooked and cold...had to hunt for the fish in the cod goujons, cold fries."
  • "Cream tea and sandwiches arrived, sandwiches were poor quality and the bacon sandwiches were sent back due to questionable color of meat and taste."
  • "The family tables for young children are so small! They are the only accessible ones with buggies and high chairs etc so respectively for families."
  • "Turned up for afternoon tea which is booked for 12:00 and deposit paid for ahead of arrival. Turned up to be greeted saying they didn't open until 12."
  • "Not child friendly, also when we booked online they had no clue we were booked in. We asked for the children’s menu twice, to have staff say they don’t have one."
  • "The food was good though that's why I gave it 2 stars. Drinks was filled 90% with ice."
  • "Very poor service, it takes ages to have a drink. And at some point, one guy from the staff took my full drink from my table and when I went to reclaim it, the 'manager' just ignored me."
