Slug & Lettuce York Riverside

Typical Slug and Lettuce. 2 for 1 on all cocktails always goes down a treat but I felt, as I always do in these types of venues, that they aren't the cleanest of places to go to.

The table was a little sticky as was the floor and menu. The toilets weren't the cleanest either. The staff were friendly and polite and I had a pleasant couple of hours with my girl friends, which absolutely made up for all it's faults.

To be honest I thought it was a tad expensive, we went for the bottomless brunch, at 28 quid we paid our money, I assumed as a non drinker there would be tea and coffee only to find if I wanted a coffee I had to pay extra. Just not on really so I had a cooked breakfast and 2 drinks mmmm sorry but wo read moreTo be honest I thought it was a tad expensive, we went for the bottomless brunch, at 28 quid we paid our money, I assumed as a non drinker there would be tea and coffee only to find if I wanted a coffee I had to pay extra. Just not on really so I had a cooked breakfast and 2 drinks mmmm sorry but won't be going there again. I have to say the staff were lovely and amazing coping in the heat in there.

Going to downgrade the Slug, although the venue is located next to the river, and staff pleasant and friendly, the food was off the mark.

We ordered a share 'birdcage' and the picture was far better than the actual food. Missing were the onion rings, the sliders were replaced by a normal bun cut in four, the innards of which defied pulled pork by any stretch, more mush than meat. The special sauces seemed to be salad cream and BBQ sauce. No paper napkins, no glass with a bottle of cider. If you sell the product with a picture, make sure it at least looks like the picture. Finally the pud, well two shot glasses filled with what was actually a nice pud, but armed with a teaspoon that reached only a third of the way in, well, either finger dipping, spoon stem dipping or tongue (hiding operation from fellow diners recommend).
