THIS MENU WAS UPDATED ON 8TH AUGUST 2007

Did you know that we're great at food? Big-headed maybe... but we admit to being the best and we can't help but shout about our delicious and diverse menu. Not only do we have the old-time favourites which make you warm inside (bangers and mash; fish and chips), but we also have fancy dishes which will blow your socks right off! Our warm salmon & asparagus salad, baked gooey Camembert platter, falafel & tzatziki flat bread and our new Deli sandwich are just some of our exciting dishes from the summer menu - you can follow all of these with two puddings for the price of one!

Throughout the year, the Slug and Lettuce team meets to talk 'food' - we taste the dishes, change our mind, taste them again (our jobs are so tough), take notes, talk at length and then finally agree on the menu, always ensuring that it's packed with fresh ingredients and delicious dishes! We do this four times a year, so that our menus are suitably seasonal. Dining at The Slug and Lettuce will definitely transport you out of the usual bar experience!
