Staff have been amazing. The lady who served us was so fun and lovely. Had a great experience with my friend and recommend S&L for girly brunches. Thanks to the team.

Lovely staff, attentive and quick service. Christina and Caitlin are very friendly and courteous.

Christina and Caitlyn are the best!

Staff were beyond helpful, introduced us to their new loyalty scheme which enabled us to get a free drink

Our first visit to Slug & Lettuce was a incredibly disappointing experience. The manager denied the existence of a student discount, despite a flashing advertisement in the restaurant and online. When my boyfriend enquired (with the MiXR app ready), he was shut down immediately. Whether it was profiling or just a bad mood, it felt like the manager had been caught in a lie, and his attitude was completely unnecessary. Later, when I went to the bar to ask for salt and ketchup, I was repeatedly ignored. It took seemingly a staff member who was clearly on break, eating with her family to help me and get another worker’s attention. On top of that, we noticed other customers visibly frustrated with the long wait times, which only added to the feeling that service here was lacking. I’ve worked in hospitality, so I really do understand the pressures of the job, but the lack of professionalism and courtesy here was disappointing. This experience has really put us off returning.

Would avoid like the plague. Over an hour and half waiting for food! Told that we were informed when order certainly was not! Even trying to refund manager was very rude and condescending yet accused our party if it. Also tried to dispute refunding the deposit as it was redeemed( in a service they failed to provide) had no choice but to leave as was attending an event. Ended up having to have a sandwich from a local supermarket! Wasted £7 on two diet cokes even they took over 10 minutes to be served!

Tamsin was amazing and I think she should be the manager, I would recommend to friends and family, Amazon place, big up King Charles and dem man

The best bottomless brunch in Reading!

Staff here seem cold, incompetent and unwilling to help. Why are you going back and forth with your manager to place us with a table we have booked in advance in an EMPTY restaurant. We’re ordering through an app, running up and downstairs to request drinks, collecting our own drinks, at this point I should put on an apron to prepare the food as well. Ive got no clue why this place is rated so highly, the service is awful, the employees hide together and the food was so slow I genuinely thought I could’ve gone into the kitchen and cooked it faster myself. Why am I standing at the bar, for the manager to ask me if I’m waiting to order, to then go oh I’m sure someone will serve you? Okay fab thanks didnt realise babe x

If I could leave zero stars I would, staff were rude. Food took over an hour and then was wrong so we had to wait longer for it to be cooked. No straws available, so cocktails came as a glass with the bottom full of alcohol and the top full of ice with no way of mixing and actually drinking. Bar staff told us ‘are you waiting to be served? Well go down there then’ Good arrived 5 mins before our table reservation was expired and so we were then rushed to leave. No cutlery was given with our meals

We had a bottomless brunch today for a catch up with friends food was excellent and the service by our host Tom was brilliant he kept the drinks flowing would highly recommend

Love this bar! Great experience, highly recommend! :)

Best experience, food, service. Top their!

Lovely time and good service! Especially from Georgia ☺️

The classiest Slug around! Fabulous food, drinks and service! Georgia was great too. 10/10!

Very friendly staff, great food and drinks!

This was a fabulous experience with great energy

Do not go here, the staff are horrible!! Extremely unprofessional and rude. My boyfriend and I had booked to have a dinner here for valentine’s day, On the website it didn’t say anything about bringing ID and neither of us drink so I didn’t bring my ID but my boyfriend had his. When we got to the door security guards refused to let us in despite having a booking and were mocking us for not being able to get in without my ID although we had never been told to bring any. The security guards were joking and one told us to go to mcdonald’s instead which is so unprofessional and unacceptable! Please sort out your staff it’s not any way to speak to people, especially when they are the ones at fault. I will never be going there.

Service was terrible, it took an hour to get a drink via the app, staff couldn't locate the table I booked, I couldn't even get a hold of anyone for the first half an hour. I got a drink from the bar faster. I think they were severely overwhelmed. The bar upstairs didn't even have anyone working on it despite all it being opened. They probably should have limited how many people could come in or told the bouncers to warn people before we came in - and it's not like it was even packed. I was coming for my birthday to celebrate with friends, and decided to leave after the warmed up and melted drinks finally arrived, I expected so much better.

Such quick service and good cocktails!

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff- Christina was particularly nice and helpful

Cheap drinks, good vibes but loud

Drinks were great and fantastic service - had a lovely time with friends.

Amazing bottomless brunch and Tom made it even better

What the hell. Beautiful place, lovely atmosphere. It would just be nice if this cocktail bar also served drinks. This was the most sober evening I've ever had at any bar. The drinks take on average 40-60 minutes to come out. Totally ridiculous. It took so long that the glasses were half empty as all the ice had already melted before the drinks came out. No straws either, and even when we asked for some, the never brought them. We booked a table, but nobody in the whole place knew which reservation or table it was. Eventually we actually found the table with our name on it. The organisation here is so appalling it's a miracle anyone puts up with coming here.

We came at a busy time (Saturday night) and considering that we were served brilliantly

Absolutely amazing, the food was outstanding and the service was brilliant Tom especially was amazing he was so kind and polite the best conversation with him

Great place! Lovely food and cocktails

I came here yesterday evening to have dinner with a friend who I used to work with. We were served friendly and professionally. Food was delicious and served within a reasonable time. I would point out that the music was a bit too loud as we couldn't really hear each other so ended up sitting in silence.

Food was very good. Nice place and friendly staff. No coffee or some beers because they had a "busy" weekend

Tamsin is an absolute Beuaty and did such an amazing job she’s amazing!!!!!!😻
