FREYA!!! What a great member of staff. Very very polite service and did not fail to smile the whole time we was there. Would definitely recommend this place for a quick drink or a meal. Thank you to all the team @ S&L

Served by Freya, she was super polite and friendly we never had to wait to long at the bar as Freya was there straight away.🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

When we went, we had booked for bottomless brunch at 2.30pm. When we arrived, there was a total of 3 staff rostered on. The poor staff were run off their feet. You know when kitchen staff are delivering food, there is an issue. The staff did everything they could to make our afternoon/ evening enjoyable and we had a great time. The reason for this review is to highlight the fault of management and their attempt to run a bar serving bottomless brunch in the centre of Chelmsford, in minimal staff. The food was OK, what you'd expect at slug I suppose. The atmosphere got better the later it got, this may or may not have had something to do with the amount of alcohol we drank 🤣. There was one young lady who went out of her way to try and make up for the mistake of her management and we really appreciated her. All in all an ok experience that could have been great with more staff. The 3 and the kitchen staff from that day, need a blimmen raise.

Went there on Saturday just been for my sisters birthday and pre-ordered a drinks packaged called flamingle and celebrate where it comes with 3 zero flocks given sharing drinks with sparklers, flamingo sunglasses, Hawaiian leis and a celebration card It took 1 hour to actually pay for it as there was hardly anyone at the bar, and when I did it took another hour for it to be made But only one of the sharers was made and after bringing it up with the workers we got the sunglasses and sweets and card but not the other sharers At that point I’d given up and went home Was not happy with this and will not be coming back

Came in for a bottomless brunch and had excellent service from Lewis. I would definitely come back again.

Lewis was very attentive during our brunch

Came here for my girlfriend’s birthday and was very disappointed. Food was stone cold and the chicken looked dodgy so it put us off it anyway, they make you pay upfront so nothing you can do about it, drinks were okay🤷‍♀️ Left the food on the table, had our drinks and left. Not very good service

Great brunch! Shoutout to Freya who was amazing xox

Took ages for food to arrive and when it did it looks nothing like it did on the menu and had no flavour, we got our cutlery ten minutes into eating our food and where pretty much done by then which wasn’t helpful at all. Absolutely dreadful and would not eat here again.

I have visited a lot and always loved the food. This was the first time I did the bottomless brunch after I recommended it for a friend's birthday (there were 6 of us) Unfortunately the drinks were very slow coming out to start with and in the first 45minutes we had only been given one drink and had to ask for the second one 3 times. We had 6 minutes left of our 2 hour slot and asked for deserts and were told we didn't have time so we only had one course. I would visit again but I wouldn't do bottomless brunch and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Served by Lewis, class customer service followed by speedy food and drinks. 👍

Your bouncers are disgusting! Nasty bully’s who go around beating people up for their own amusement!

Had a very enjoyable evening here. Was a slight problem with some boisterous lads but was quickly sorted out by Jess the manager. Drinks were lovely and fairly priced. Music was good but not over loud so able to talk to friends easily. Jess and her team ran the pub very well from what I could see.

Was so looking forward to a little date night here with my husband. We had cocktails and food. The cocktails were perfect, cannot fault them at all. We bought main meals and a selection of starters to pick at. The chips were stone cold, had to chase down someone to get them changed who when I told put her whole hand over the chips to check to make me feel like I wasn’t telling the truth! Then came back with the same chips refried (you could clearly see that) and told me they were fresh! I’m not silly! They told us we couldn’t order through the app because they had problems although everyone else was, told us we had to come up to the bar! When at the bar the young boy was amazing! Lovely bartender but several other times we went up we had a young girl who did not want to be there! She was rude, snappy and just walked off when I paid, no thank you or anything! Will definitely go to the Colchester one in future!

Food was okay, a little burned hehe The cocktails were brilliant, Lewis was great vibes, fast on service, made our experiences 10/10. Would recommend. Lewis for employee of the month 😛😛

Our servers Tia and Jess were very kind to us. We had a birthday party and had a bunch of kids with us and they were very good with them

Came for a bottomless bunch for our birthday and recieved 3 drinks ! shocking service. DO NOT GO! Did not even receive an apology.

Had a bottomless brunch booked for a 2000’s day, was sat in for 45 mins and not a single person come to see us. Tables weren’t ready when we arrived and the music was non existent, £40 each sounds a lot when we could’ve gone to McDonald’s for a better experience..

Loveliest atmosphere! Service from Luke was amazing, best bartender and server we’ve ever had, so friendly and lovely! Slay🫶🏻

Luke was the best bartender ever! Greatest service, super friendly and great drinks!! Slay

Luke was a great bartender and we had great service! The best bottomless brunch

Luke was fab at bottomless brunch!

Luke was the best bartender, we had the best bottomless brunch!

Food and cocktails are delicious. Luke was an amazing waiter. Would definitely recommend.

went in for lunch today was only 2 other people when walking in , ordered food and a coke, asked for a slice of lemon , and the server picked up the lemon with their fingers and put it in my coke in front of my eyes! not hygienic at ALL! was waiting for change to get told haven’t got a till in yet will bring the change over , never did had to ask for my own change i don’t know if thought it was a tip. when food arrived my chips was cold second time this has happened , and my sisters steak sandwich was well done but yet stone cold! to where we had to ask for it to be put in the microwave. the whole time whilst waiting for food just kept seeing the bartender hunched over the back bar which appeared to look like was them just on their phone, i can understand why it was quiet as doesn’t look inviting having staffs back to you looking at their phone. safe to say would not be going back.

Had a lovely evening at slug and lettuce Chelmsford at the weekend. Staff member Luke went above and beyond. Cocktails were lovely and great environment.

Such a good atmosphere for a few drinks and some food. The cocktails are lovely. The staff are also welcoming and always so helpful. Was served by Luke and Reece tonight and they went above and beyond, even bringing out a bowl of water for my dog.

We had a voucher for afternoon tea so we chose Slug and lettuce Chelmsford. Big mistake! I have to say the young waiter was very good t his job , sadly the kitchen team were awful! Stale bread for a bacon sandwich which was cold and lardy , we couldn’t’t believe how stale , we left it. ! Two unidentifiable , fridge cold tasteless different savouries. 4 tiny slices if sickly cake! We could only have the same hot drink , tea or coffee , not a coffee for me and teas for hubby! We chose tea which was served in huge coffee cups and was luke warm. . Very disappointing , absolutely awful !

I visit this slug and lettuce with my girlfriend’s and her family for my girlfriend’s birthday for meal and drinks . Firstly the service was brilliant I can’t fault the Barman . Look after us all night and was brilliant . The atmosphere was really good and after dinner had bingo on and music wasn’t too loud but was really good night . The food however was really poor standards. And It wasn’t one meal it was most of the food. There was 8 of us eating . Food was cold and not nice at all . I was left very disappointed considering this was my girlfriend meal and with her family . I wouldn’t recommend the food as it was at a very poor standard.

I booked a table for 4 and once we arrived one of the security guards was extremely rude to somebody in my group and told us he could not come in because he was wearing joggers. I understood he wasn’t allowed to wear that in the pub but the security’s attitude was awful and there was no need to be so rude. On the booking email when it has the list of rules after booking it also did not state you could not wear certain items of clothing in this establishment. Won’t come back.

Had the best time celebrating with my mate, had a server called Abi she was fantastic super attentive, funny and up for a laugh 10/10

Great service and very attentive. Abi greeted us with a smile and the food and drinks were great

All I can say is it's not an experience I would like to repeat. I did understand that the venue is noted for being lively but when we were shown neh pointed to our table as we couldn't hear anything because the music was so loud. The table, I can only describe as missing a pole and dancer . We were right in the middle of the pub not in the small restaurant part . I was asked at 6.40 if at 8.00 pm I could turn my hat around which seemed a bit bizarre something to do with the cameras. We had to order at the bar and I got the only bar person that needed supervision but he was a polite guy. The food was ok but I would not recommend eating there on a Friday night if you are hoping to chat or have the use of your hearing next hour or so .

We had a great time. Abi was a great bar staff. Very attentive and always look after as. I would highly recommend.

Absolutely awful!!! We went for a festive menu ,which we had booked a few weeks in advance. Booked for 7pm and was already like a night club dark and music so loud you couldn’t hear your own voice (2 of our party had hearing difficulties). Waited an hour and not a single person took a drink order. Starters came out and they were tiny and not as described in the preorder. The starters tasted as if they had been at the back of a freezer for months!! Apparently the servers were told by the manager to not serve our table as we could order on the app but we couldn’t as when you went on the app and said if you had a deposit and clicked “yes” it said “a server will be with you” and no one ever came. We spoke to the manager and asked to cancel the rest of the food and we went somewhere else. 100% would not recommend!!!

We got served by Lewis who was really welcoming and made sure we had good service all throughout the night, our bottomless brunch was amazing and couldnt be more grateful for the lovely workers.

Hosted by Eva and Henry, lovely time at this Slug and Lettuce, had wonderful service and do recommend this place!

Have used slug many times in the past,, but what's going on.. Have waited over 30 minutes for our table service drinks,, went to the bar , and said they are busy doing bar drinks...!!!.. don't offer table service if you can't keep up with it.. Our food.plates have been sat empty on our table for the same time.. even tho a waitress has walked over to a table next to us 3 times , and walked back empty handed...!!!.. surely you'd look for empties on your way back..!!! . Shocking service really .. I have been very complimentary on my stars...

Daisy was amazing sorted ant issues immediately very friendly great customer service

Abi was great at the bar, great service and will come back

Had an overall magnificent experience here. I ordered the bacon cheese burger and enjoyed every single bite. The beef was tasteful, succulent and cooked to perfection, not to mention all the produce was extremely fresh. The service was lovely all around. One waitress/ bartender particularly stood out to me. She was a girl with beautiful silky brown hair and eyes like a crystal clear lake who I think was named Freya. Her attitude and efficiency was outstanding. Well done to this individual. The atmosphere was very exhilarating and welcoming. My chair was extremely comfortable and cushiony, my rear end was very happy when sitting in this chair. I could go on and on. Thank you slug and lettuce!!

The staff were super lovely and we were having a lovely night - they were great with orders, prices were good etc, but everything went bad once the security showed up. They were rude and arrogant - which I do understand is part of the job because they have to keep everyone safe, but there is no need to get physical and violent - because that actually ended up making us all feel unsafe with them so we left. Overall, slug and lettuce were brilliant and treated us great, maybe have a look into the security though.

Had an amazing time here. Abi was our server and we found her extremely happy to help, recommending various cocktails which she made brilliantly. Would definitely return and hope to be served by Abi again.

Loved the experience and the lady at the bar was lovely. Lewis and Eva were amazing servers too thank you 💖

Lady at the bar was amazing! Plus Lewis and Eva x

Came for lunch and had a great service from Abi!

Less drum and bored, more Patrick topping please. Patrick is not only an icon of music, but also an icon of life. Please ensure he is played for future reference.

Very friendly staff. I was served by Lewis and he had fabulous recommendations and the cocktails are very affordable!

Such an amazing experience at Chelmsford slug and lettuce, I couldn’t fault the service from Abi! That girl is good at what she does what a spectacular lady!

ABI WAS AMAZING, WOW WOW WOW a cocktail has never tasted so good!

Cocktails made by by Abi were absolutely amazing! She’s such a friendly bubbly girl and i’ve never felt so comfortable at a bar!

Brilliant brunch the other day, service by Abi was impeccable! Would definitely recommend x

Food was cooked to perfection and great value . Couldn't recommend more

we went to a bottomless brunch and they brand us new drinks before our others were finished. food was great, overall great experience.

Thank you to Abi who was the best waitress for mine and my boyfriend’s bottomless brunch with our friends! Abi was a very kind and bubbly waitress who always made sure we had everything we needed! You need more waitresses like Abi’s!!!

Great staff, very friendly, very attentive lovely drinks! Thank you again, had a great time. Nice food. Very quick to refresh drinks

Excellent service from Lewis and Henry. Absolutely amazing experience and they need a raise

Amazing service by the team, cocktails made by Freya and lewis were lovely!! Definitely recommend 👍

I came in for drinks with my friends and I had a blast! The 2-4-1 cocktails were delicious and so affordable. I was served by Lewis and he was FAB!

Had a great service from Abi on the bar. She made amazing cocktails and is very friendly and easy going, lovely to talk to. Big up Abi.

I always go here for the cocktails. They have a large selection and they are always really nice. The last time we went we ordered through the app but it would take them 20 minutes to bring a drink to us.

Wonderful and fun bottomless brunch 😍 delicious food and delicious tequila sunrises!

Abi was fantastic, very respectful and polite. Quick service and good drinks!

abi is really cool. service was impeccable cannot fault it. 10/10

Abigail Adams is a bloody legend she knew that exactly what we wanted and what we needed if I can’t back I only what her x

Delicious bottomless brunch with my sister! I had double bacon cheese burger and many yummy tequila sunrises. 😋

Where do I start? Had a pint which was definitely watered down,tables were full of previous customers leftovers.The food took 45 mins plus, steak was crispy and the chips tasted awful.The nachos toppings consisted of one dollop in the middle of the nachos, not all over as in the picture.Since I left myself and my partner have had regular visits to the toilet.To top it off the girls who served us looked like they've just come from a "stop nuclear weapons march". Don't bother if you want a decent beer and definitely don't bother if you want a nice meal.

A really lovely brunch and so worth the money!

We had a wonderful afternoon at the slug and lettuce Chelmsford. Amelia was a fantastic hostess from the start and luke was great with the drinks. Would highly recommended Amelia for looking after us

Have had an absolutely lovely bottomless brunch. Service has been fantastic!

Anais, Luke + Henny were quick and friendly. Great service

Anais was amazing! Great experience

Nathan was very productive all night collecting our glasses! All of the drinks we had were very good value and very good quality. We would love to see Nathan on the bar, such a lovely lad!

Great brunch with the girls, Jess was so helpful and friendly. Really great afternoon - thank you!

I went to Slug and Lettuce for a fab Friday night of reasonably priced yet tasty cocktails. I was served by Abi all night, she made our whole evening. She was so friendly and helpful. She even convinced us to come back for a bottomless brunch!

We done the brunch deal here and had such fab evening. We were served by Jess who was super helpful and polite. Really recommend coming here, great atmosphere and service!

Abi was so lovely very genuine and helpful told us about the new app , brilliant worker

Abigail was really lovely and greeted us as soon as we walked in from the bar! Very helpful and a really happy lady!

Excellent service from Tia! Kind caring , and we didn’t need for anything drinks always topped up! Thankyou kindly xx

I came in for cocktails and a burger. I was served by Lewis and the service was brilliant. He was very friendly. It’s very affordable and the food was delicious! I would definitely come back.

Came in the other night, very nice pub. The service was quick, I served by Abigail, who helpfully directed me to the 2 for 1 drinks, which were really good.

Untasty cocktails and rude security! My two friends (both girls) and I went outside to smoke on the left side of the building. The security saw us and told us that we needed to go back inside and use another exit at the back of the building to smoke. However, on the right side of the building, there were already people smoking, which confused us. We wondered why we weren't allowed to smoke there as well. My friend had already managed to light her cigarette, so we decided to go to the bridge, which is a public place where smoking is allowed. We were still confused as to why people were smoking outside the building, but we were told to go around to the back using a different exit. The big surprise came when we tried to re-enter the building, and the security refused to let us in because they didn't like the fact that we hadn't smoked where they told us to. Meanwhile, our friends inside had just ordered new drinks, but the security responded that they didn't care. So, we went to a nearby club. As we were sitting across from it, smoking and getting ready to go in, we noticed that the security guard who had refused to let us back into the previous place (he had left his post) came over and spoke to the security of the new club. When we tried to enter, the security at the new club wouldn't let us in either! We were shocked that this was actually happening. The security guard from Slug & Lettuce was happy and smiling at us. This is definitely racism because I swear, we were a quiet group.

Came in for a bottomless brunch yesterday with my family, we were served by Abi and had our cocktails made by Anais. Very polite and professional service from the both of them, such a great atmosphere, would definitely recommend. Give these girls a raise!!

Terrible security , went out foto vape , they said to go somewhere else , even that other people where smoking near the entrance. After that we wanted to go back to the bar and security said they won’t let us go back inside “that’s their decision “ . So we left our £150 order of cocktail and beers on table and had to leave. Racism!!!!
