Slug & Lettuce - Staines

Nice visit to Staines upon Thames on M25 , while returning from Maidstone. Kids menu was good value for money. There was a lovely river view from the pub with relaxing feel. The place was vibrant and the staff were very courteus

This bar is situated in a beautiful location overlooking the Thames. You can watch as the boats go by and have a really relaxing time doing so in their outside area. We’ve visited a few times now and the staff are really friendly and kind for which we always appreciate! The food and drinks aren’t cheap but are pretty enjoyable and the bottomless brunches are always fun! However, the smell in this bar is nothing short of foul. At one point I genuinely thought I was going to be sick because of it (and I’ll be honest, even the thought of it now makes me feel ill). I wish I could say it was only on the one occasion but it seems to be every time we visit so there’s an ongoing issue here. I can only describe it as sewers that have been left to just rot. There is no way I could eat in that area as I would be sure to throw up. Multiple people complained about it. I actually sat outside in the rain to get away from the smell. We also sadly visited once and their card machine was down meaning we had to walk back to the high street to keep getting cash out which was annoying to say the least. If they fixed these two issues, you’re looking at a decent bar in a lovely location.

I recently visited The Slug and Lettuce in Staines and had such a fantastic experience from the moment we arrived We were also celebrating a birthday, and Carley made it feel so special, adding lovely touches that made the celebration even more memorable. The atmosphere was lively and fun, the service was excellent,
