user reviews of the Slug and Lettuce, Cheltenham

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Two good guest ales, otherwise entirely predictable S&L. Worth visiting if you're ultra thirsty or chasing students, otherwise best to find more interesting watering holes.

Typical S&L establishment. No atmosphere, average beers and non smiling staff. Okay as a stop off for refreshment, but avoid otherwise.

Two real ales available, i opted for a pint of Battledown "Cheltenham S.P.A." which was very good. Only �2.40 a pint,plus comfy seating options and friendly service plus good food. 8/10

This pub used to be a decent place for food and a pint when it was first refurbished. The management are now unhelpful, rude and couldn't really give a stuff about customers - more fool them. The service was very slow - there were 'animals' in the food they served us. Not nice! Begrudgingly from them, we got some money off the bill. Personally, I would rather have had a decent plate of food - served with a smile in the first place. It would be nice if they occasionally cleaned the toilets. The competiton in town is fierce as ever - I would suggest you go elsewhere to spend your hard earned cash ...or take your own food and beer in!

There was a time when the slug and lettuce was one of the best bars in Cheltenham. In fact, it wasnt so long ago. Up until 6 months ago , the slug was at its best. You would be approached by the same friendly, helpful good-looking staff offering good banter, making the slug feel different to everywhere else in Cheltenham. The bar has never been particularly clean, the toilets are vile, but it was tolerable! These days the some-what less attractive, less help-ful staff who make up the slug and lettuce bar team, barely seem to know what they're doing, which i am guessing this is a reflection of the management. A lick of paint isn't all you need I'm affraid!

The slug used to be the best bar in town, but they have just had a EHO inspection and were told they were going to be shut down in two days if they didn't clean it up. Wouldn't advise eating there let alone having a drink its so filthy its a disgrace. The staff are rude and unpleasant and the managers should be ashamed of themselves that's if you can call them managers. A big fat 0 the worst pub in cheltenham.

This pub is the best pub in Cheltenham. Myself and a friend came to Cheltenham for a long weekend on the 3/8/07. The staff are very friendly and will go out of there way for you, especially Tom and Rob. They make the best pimms in the area and serve great food.

We decided to go to the Slug and Lettuce for my friends 21st birthday as it had just been refurbished. The service was terrible. We had been waiting 30 minutes before our order was taken and the place wasnt even busy as it was 3pm. It took 45 minutes for our food to be served when there were only 5 people in our party. Finally after we had our food brought over to us most of it was wrong or cold. The waitress was terribly rude and didnt even apologise for all the problems we had encountered, she had a major attitude problem! I will most definatly not be eating in there again.

The Slug and Lettuce re-opened yesterday after a major refurb and you will be pleased to know the toilets have had a complete re-fit. Good looking staff, great food and drink and nice now toilets. Well worth a visit or ten.

I love this bar, always have done. However they advertise non smoking but it's awefull for smoke, no extraction at all. And i suggest you go to the loo in your pants. That may sound vile but its not as vile as the gents toilets. I must say the food is fab but when I'm asked to go for lunch I cant help but think of the toilets and what must be breeding in the place.

A chilled out bar in the day serving great food, food different from the average pub food which is nice and makes a change. Service is excellent and staff very friendly. At the weekends in the evening it is a great place to meet before clubbing as the atmosphere and music get you in the party mood.

tiny and overpriced, more wine bar than pub. gets really jammed on a friday night and the stairs are highly trecherous! only plus point is central location. i have been dragged in kicking and screaming on the odd occasion but would rather boil my head than go there regularly.
