Slug & Lettuce

Ok, so not a great start when we arrived, we were kinda left standing around like lemons, but once we got our table it got a whole lot better. We got a lovely Spanish waiter, who really took the time to recommend wine to me and helped us with our food choices. This definitely added a star for me.
Food wise, it was happy Monday so everything was half price and bargain tastic. I think for full price, I’d have given 3 stars because it’s a bit pricey for a pub/​chain restaurant, but half price it’s a steal, so no surprises it was packed.
I got the salmon, which was quite flavoursome and came with a few wedges, kinda a small portion and was definitely in need of a side — which my friend ordered in the form is sweet potato fries! Oh nom nom, seriously good! She got the butternut squash lasagne which she was loving. So main courses, ticked the boxes and then for the best part of the meal — dessert! That did more than tick the box — it blew the box out of the water! So frickin good! We both got the Irish cream and ameretti cheesecake and I’m glad we did, because that is one thing I wouldn’t want to share! No words — shamazing!

Checked into this place last night after we rode the of. Shared house salad and a sloppy Mac burger wit the wife. Very good, but expected more sloppy! Only came with a spoon full of Mac n cheese in the burger. Had a pint of London Pride that went down nice/​smooth. Shared the carm/​Choc fondue for dessert and was simply D-​Lish. Service was ok, our waitress was hard working, but overmatched with all the customers.

A big group of us came here before the cinema as we thought it would be a good place to come for a few drinks & a quick dinner.
I would usually excuse poor service if we had come in unexpectedly as they may not have been expecting to be as busy, but this is always a busy location and I had booked a table in advance. I also explained on the booking that we would be arriving from 6pm (some at slightly different times, as & when we all finished work) for some food and drinks, and would leave in time for an IMAX showing at 8.30.
I wasn’t expecting the food to be gourmet, but I was expecting it to be edible. I ordered the Chicken Mango & Avocado Burger which is described as a ‘grilled chicken fillet, topped with fresh mango, tomato chilli salsa and sliced avocado’. What arrived was dry and burnt chicken breast in a stale bun and a tiny smear of tomato sauce. The only plus point is that there was half an avocado on top, but unfortunately it was completely unripe and rock solid. There was also no sign of the mango at all! I ordered that burger as I thought it sounded exciting and flavoursome, but it was bland, dry and the ingredients were clearly not fresh. I complained to the waiter that it was burnt and about the lack of mango, he very unapologetically told me that had run out of mango and that was the last chicken breast, so he couldn’t get the kitchen to replace it. Eeeexcellent.
To make matters worse, the rest of our group then arrived at 7.30pm and when they went to order food from the waiter he told them that the kitchen had closed. He very rudely told us that this was ‘normal practice’ and that they stopped at that time every evening. We questioned this as on the front of the menu it very clearly states ‘food served until 10pm’. The manager eventually came over and (very begrudgingly) agreed to put their orders through as we had said on our booking we would be ordering food.
When the food for the 2^nd group did arrive half of it was missing. They ordered the ‘feast for friends’ which arrived without ribs, breaded mushrooms and grilled chicken. Once again they didn’t acknowledge nor apologise for it, and seemed to hope we wouldn’t notice. When we did complain about it he said that we could have some free chips (?!), and said it was impossible for them to refund the meal as the only person with authority to put a refund through was not there.
Every time he came over the waiter had moaned to us that they’d had a very busy 3 days and were short staffed. I had only made the booking for our table the day before, so in my opinion if they were aware they were that busy and short staffed they shouldn’t have accepted my booking as we could have happily found somewhere else to go.
If we weren’t in a rush to get to a cinema screening afterwards I would have made more of a fuss as this was one of the worst paid dinner experiences I’ve ever had. Really, really poor.

Excelent location with a fun atmosphere. Good drinks and a fun place. The food is fine, the breakfast better.

Italian Burger: Chicken undercooked — still a jelly texture, and tasted of dirty grill, old single lettuce leaf, hard bun, tasteless tomato.
Coleslaw: warm.
Chips: Great. They do good solid pub chips.

Fantastic family friendly restaurant near the London Eye and Westminster Bridge. Monday’s are best because it’s half price on everything. Expansive menu means everyone’s happy — no whining!
Burgers are great as are more British options like the meat pies. Too full for dessert but desserts are always 2 for 1 so come hungry as there was plenty to delight!

Great experience at this branch of the Slug and Lettuce with really attentive staff despite it being a really busy Monday night (when they offer 50% off food! Remarkable value) We even tried a couple of their special Bollywood cocktails which were absolutely delicious. Will definitely return to this chain again.

I came here for lunch after a long morning of exploring London by foot. We were drawn in by the sign outside that advertised 50% off all food on Mondays, can’t beat that! It was around 3PM when we got here and the place was basically dead. The server came to our table promptly but then took a while to bring back drinks considering we were the only ones in the whole place. We had *plenty* of time to browse the menu. They offer a wide variety of sandwiches, salads, flatbreads and a few meals as well. I went for the burger with bacon on top, a side of wedge fries and a spicy chili coleslaw. My boyfriend got chicken with watercress, tomatoes and mushrooms on top. My meal was decent but the burger was a bit boring. His meal was missing the sauce and tomatoes when it was delivered and took a while for the server to come back out with the items. Portion sizes were good. Overall, the food was decent but nothing spectacular and the service was just okay. The nice thing about this place is the environment, the décor had a very chic and upscale feel considering the prices were more of a middle-​of-​the-​road kind of place. Considering we got the half off monday special, it ended up being a reasonable cost for our meal and for the most part we left happy & full. A-​Ok overall.

A promising menu and beer selection, but we were decidedly underwhelmed. The lasagna was only an inch thick and burned at the edges, with uneven cheese on top; the large-​size burgers stuck out on all edges from the medium-​sized buns. The chips were cold. Unfortunately, it was one of very few restaurants open on a Sunday evening in Waterloo.

If you’re gonna ask me how I’d like my steak done, then do it how I told you! When I ask for «medium rare, closer to rare», I expect at the very minimum for the meat to be pink, preferably still bleeding a little. The steak I was served was definitely a well done, dry with hardly any juice, & not a bit of pink anywhere in the middle. This was my second visit, to try their Monday half priced food.
Last week a friend brought me for dinner & everything we wanted on the menu was not available, so we had the seafood basket, which is really a fancy name for frozen crumbed food you get get from boxes in the supermarket, deep fried for too long. Basically everything here is just overcooked.
I’m only giving this two stars for value for money on Mondays. Any other day of the week, this place is a damn rip off. Never coming back here again, even if I lived in London.

I loved this place and it was so convenient. My hubby and I went to London and stayed at the London County Hall. and decided to scout the neighbourhood for some place to eat. So we agreed on trying out Slugs and Lettuce for breakfast.
Trying to embrace the London/​English culture we chose to have the «Traditional English Breakfast» with their «Traditional English tea with milk and sugar» OMG! it was so good! and the portion sizes were HUGE! (we’re Canadian btw, so our sizes are smaller than most places). I was so full I seriously didn’t even have lunch. Everything was just amazing! The server was so polite and helpful. I think this place is great for a budget breakfast. (7.50 pounds for the dish and tea)

I love the name of this restaurant. We ended up here as its location is close to the London Eye. British fare in a lovely, spacious space.
The food was good, pretty basic. I had the fish and chips (as you have to have them at least once while you are in London as a tourist) and have had better elsewhere. The mushy peas had mint in them which caused them to be a brighter than normal green. I had a hard time deciding how I felt about them. They were not bad, but the flavor and texture was a bit odd. My cousins had burgers and reported that they were good.
We were here during off hours and it was not busy. This may be why our service was better then what other reviewers experienced.
