Cons:

  • "Shocking experience from start to finish - came in on Monday 7 Aug as we were down from Scotland to watch the Liverpool game. The server behind the bar couldn’t have been less interested- no welcome no smile."
  • "If you want a drink your better off ordering an hour before and come back. Been waiting 40 mins for a drink now. Paid for. Still waiting."

Food and Drinks

Pros:

  • "The food choices are actually a lot better than other brunches I’ve been to and there was more options."
  • "Food was lovely and cocktails were great too. So much choices on the cocktails that were 2 for 1."
  • "Great clean lager and friendly bar staff. Just asked about vegan and vegetarian food and given lovely burger by helpful bar lady."
  • "I visited the bar yesterday for cocktails for my friends graduation, the staff were lovely attentive and then the manager came over with a free bottle of Prosecco for us to celebrate."
  • "Had a fab night doing the cocktail masterclass- it was great fun. The drinks and nibbles were really yummy and good value."
  • "They serve very nice food, and the staff are warm and welcoming."
  • "Good value for money, and overall a nice atmosphere."
  • "Fantastic atmosphere beautiful decorated, didn't eat here but will definitely try to next time."

Cons:

  • "My husband thoroughly enjoyed his scampi and chips. I ordered chilli for my main but it favoured a bowl of slop, which was my first comment upon arrival."
  • "Onto the food, the waiter who brought the food was much more pleasant. The food I can have absolutely no complaints about. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite, well cooked and very tasty."
  • "The drinks menu, clearly fused together with the remnants of sweat, vomit, other bodily fluids and ancient stale alcohol nearly made me vomit."
  • "Out of stock of several food items, didn't bother telling us when we ordered, they just charged us full price and served the meals with missing items. Also wildly overpriced for clearly microwaved ready-made garbage."
  • "Food was horrible! I will not eat there. I was hungry and tried to eat meal! The steak wrap was so hard I had to spit it out!"
  • "The food was absolutely terrible. They were changing the menu, but never told us there were no chunky chip's. Got cold french fries instead."
  • "If I could leave 0 stars I would. Booked a bottomless brunch for 5 people starting at 3pm. By 3.30 we still had no drink and no order taken. By 4pm we had one drink and mediocre food."
  • "Honestly 1* is too high, maybe it is different during the day time or in the week but Saturday evening is not the time to go if you require edible food."
  • "We enjoyed the surroundings and the food was reasonably priced but a bit lacking in quality (particularly the curry)."

Ambiance and Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "This bar was the old Yates bar and was in need of a refurb. Wow have they done that it looks amazing inside."
  • "The atmosphere and service was pretty good like a 7/10 on its own."
  • "Great place to go for drinks with friends. Cocktails are very nice and staff are friendly."
  • "The layout of the place is fantastic and well lit, however there is a problem with flies, which you don’t exactly want around you whilst eating."
  • "Gorgeous place to visit on a night out, children allowed up to a certain time food is delicious and staff are lovely and place has a great atmosphere 😀"
  • "The place is beautifully decorated. We had booked bottomless brunch and on arrival we had a prosecco waiting at the table which was a great start."
  • "Fantastic atmosphere beautiful decorated, didn't eat here but will definitely try to next time."
  • "Kirk gave great customer service and made our experience at slug and lettuce brilliant! Will be sure to visit again soon, such a lovely place to go with friends:)"

Cons:

  • "Enjoyed some lovely 2for1 cocktails. Music got a little too loud and strobe lights were at the perfect level to hit you in the eyes but other than that it was good."
  • "Slug and Lettuce… at the pace of a slug? The service here is horrendously slow."
  • "Came here with friends on a Saturday night, lovely bar and decor, but unfortunately we left earlier than we wanted to as apparently you can only sit in the outdoor seating area at the front until 10pm."
  • "The Deco and environment is great. The food served was appalling."
  • "Very loud. The cutlery wasn't clean. Our glasses had lipstick marks on them."
  • "After reading bad reviews..I gave it ago..not busy..one one the bar..few waiting..ended up walking out before ordering any food..slow enough just getting a drink..went weatherspoons busy food ok..if yates still there..it be busier..lesson learned should listhend to reviews..wast of what it could be.."
  • "Liking the new make over, however still the same old, same old, no loo roll in the toilets, none of the cocktails match the pictures, missing the glasses and the extra's that go on top to make them special."
  • "Burgers were mediocre, staff were uninterested, churos were raw. Refund was offered but not received. Slug and lettuce used to be somewhere to visit but those days have passed."
  • "The issue that I have experienced was: I attempted to get served after being in the club for many hours and spending about a £100. The bar stuff refused to serve me despite being sober, non-aggressive and polite."
  • "Where do I start, tables are wobbly, service is so slow and it wasn’t even busy!"
  • "Nice atmosphere however the guy behind the bar was very rude arrogant and obviously not happy in his job this has happened twice now same guy won't be returning."
