Slug & Lettuce York Riverside - York

Had a lovely birthday brunch here recently. The drinks were good, food was lovely and the view over the river was amazing. Was given the best seat in the house with an open balcony. Our server Eliza was absolutely lovely, couldn’t fault her at all. She was kind and very attentive. X

I'll preface my review by saying that as an Aussie couple who hate loud and gaudy things, we're probably not S&L's target audience. We just wanted somewhere close to our hotel and cheap after a long drive to York, and weren't familiar with the S&L brand at all.

S&L was pretty dead on a Tuesday night, so we had no problem finding a table and service was very quick. We had to order at the bar as the QR code ordering didn't like our non-British postcode, but the bar wasn't busy so it was very easy. We loved the 2-for-1 cocktail deal and deal on 5 of the mix-and-match plates; it made for a very reasonably priced dinner.

Unfortunately, the food was just okay. I've never seen a fried bao bun until I dined at S&L (normally they're steamed), and I can't say I was a fan. The chicken skewers didn't really taste of anything, while the bravas potato gems had too much peri peri sauce that they got really soggy. The squid was pretty good and the croquettes had a really nice ham flavour, though!

Did it do the job? Yes, but I reckon I'll give S&L a miss next time. It's definitely not my kind of place.

We called in the Slug & Lettuce for a drink in the early afternoon. The bar was nice and quiet. The bar has a nice spacious feel with views over the river. There was a good choice of draught drinks, but no hand pulled cask conditioned real ales. The price for half a pint of cider and half a pint of beer was £7.40p. The bar is mainly aimed at cocktails and food. I haven't tried the food, so I can't comment. The drink prices are highway robbery, at least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask!

I am just writing to say that my server Petra was brilliant tonight, me and my friend came out for a bottomless brunch and she even took into consideration of what we liked as a drink and made a cocktail that was just perfect for us.

We just wanted it to be aware that her energy as a server was perfect and we were made to feel really welcome.

Thank you Petra x

Birra Moretti, flat as pancake, I asked for a new pint and got it in a standard glass and still flat so I asked for a refund and they said there was nothing they could do they were aware of a problem with the cooler system but we’re still happy to serve flat pints, staff were pleasant enough but the price of the pint couldn’t of been any further away from the quality received. Really disappointed and won’t be back anytime soon.

Was one of the best experiences of my life!! Natalie made our experience perfect! Was consistent during our bottomless brunch. Much like Ronaldo during the 2009 run with Manchester United! I would love to have her again as our waitress during anything as she is brilliant at what she does!

Becca at the bar was very kind. Me and my friend told her we were celebrating the end of our Degree and she made the cocktails extra special for us. Thank you for making us feel celebrated!
