Slug & Lettuce

Warm and tasty food, 2-4-1 on cocktails and if that's not enough you can try their boujee selection. very pleasant staff with a quick service! Ambiance in this venue is also very lovely.

Went here on a Sunday afternoon after some shopping with friends and searching for a place to eat. S&L isn't my first or second choice for a meal but given the circumstances, we went in.

As most people would agree to, the view is very charming-just by the Thames river in Richmond. It is situated next to The White Cross (a pub I can never get a seat at-cry cry). The waiter was a very nice and attentive Welsh guy who kept us happy and laughing! If only I could remember his name ... : /

I ordered the peppercorn steak with chips which is standard but satisfied the stomach at the time. Their cocktails are usually good so we had a few which were 2-4-1, can't beat that.

S&L is a good place for groups and for watching a match but this particular S&L didn't have the upbeat environment of it's other chains such as the one in Uxbridge.

When in Richmond, this is a common place for us to head to - not particularly fancy of course but the drinks are reasonably priced for the area and there is standard pub food if needed. Cocktails are 2 for 1 all day every day now, which makes it viable to explore a few different things, which rarely happens on your average pub night. Recommended!

One of a few bars on the river that benefit from their location. This stretch of river is the place to be in the summer and consequently this is one of the bars to be seen at. Nothing amazing here as it is The Slug and Lettuce and it happens to be on the River. It does most things well including the food and you know that you can expect an o.k. time. During the summer when it is hot just about everyone wants to be here, enjoying a glass of wine or a few beers and hanging around outside socialising.

Good for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, you know that the food will be there or there about's and the sort of place you could meet for a business meeting. To be fair if you took away the setting it would be the same as any other Pitcher and Piano - oops sorry I meant Slug and Lettuce.

As an American, i saw my first "famous" person: Richard Ashcroft from the band The Verve. Surprisingly was very humble and low key!

I like the Slug & Lettuce chains, and was thorougly impressed with their Sunday roast - roast potatoes AND mash!

My family had dinner with drinks, appetizers and main course. Service was good. Waiter polite. Excellent sweet potato fries. Pleasant atmosphere.

As I write this review in September, the hazy hedonistic days of summer have now unfortunately passed us by; however if one feels bold enough to brave the encroaching evening chill, this is still one of the best places in Richmond to experience a drink al fresco.

Let's be honest; as corporate, generic wine bars / pubs go, Slug & Lettuce is a name synonymous with the best of them. However, this Slug & Lettuce has the benefit of being located in one of Richmond's most desirable drinking locations, plonked right on Richmond riverside.

The inside of the pub leaves a lot to be desired; in summer there is often a stale, unsavoury aroma inside the bar, which has been noted on many occasions. However the real pull for this pub is summertime, when a plethora of Richmond drinkers flock there in order to take advantage of a spectacular river view.

A recent addition of 2-for-1 cocktails at £4.95 (I think these are on Friday nights and at weekends, but you may need to check this first) is a crowd-pleaser, and for those who prefer beers, a good range of lager is provided, including the refreshing Japanese lager, Kirin.

However, at the end of this day, this still remains a Slug & Lettuce - those looking for a more intimate, independent affair are advised to walk 20 metres to the adjoining 'White Cross', where equally wonderful riverside drinking is offered.

We went here last week for a girls pre Christmas get together. I have been to this and other Slug and Lettuce pubss before and they are generally fairly consistent.

They had the table decorated beautifully for us and the service was fantastic. Our waitor (Casper from Poland) could not have been nicer or more attentive. The problem was the food - it was awful. We ordered from the Christmas menu and had to give them our order in advance so there should be no excuse.

Not one of us was happy with the meal we got ( there were eight of us) and we made sure to let them know.

It was such a disappointment. If you are going there over the festive period avoid the Christmas menu like the plague, but do say hello to Casper;)

i like this place period,
Got to love the location.
The pub next door boasts its actually in the Thames river at high tide.
This place is right on the left side of an OLD boat ramp,Rental boats Bikes and Prams (Strollers) everywhere.
I love these places in the winter,Nothing but birds and the ocasional old salt napping on the old benches.

Old in London... I was in this pub "the Cittie Of York"
(22 High Holborn, WC1), which has been the site of an inn since 1420.

I know its a chain but the other Slug i went to in Central London was just as nice.
Clean Upbeat and good food/Service.
In the summer its fantastic to watch the boats and people on bikes go by.
Alot of tables outside and nice inside with AC.
Standard Pub fare with some nice twist's
I had Ciabotta strips with Hummis and red pepper and pesto as a starter
classy how the chef serves it up.
My wife loves the fish cakes with nice looking rocket salad.
Many stars live around here never know who you will see.
Me i see stars in the majority of people here after they had a few pints..

It's a Slug and Lettuce isn't it. Unless you're a visitor to the UK, you probably have good idea of what to expect from this chain - mediocre food, wipe-clean decor and barely interested staff.

BUT.... on a rugby day, or a sunny day, this spot is as good as any other in Richmond. Right on the river, walking distance to Twickenham and plenty of big screens for watching the match if you don't have a ticket.

Good for a group gathering.
