I attended an Xmas party here (in January 2024) and wouldn't personally visit here again. The Bartender (Keegan) refused to measure out the alcohol properly (I could see right in front of me he was only measuring 75% of the way and when mentioning he was doing this consistently he said that the Supervisor wished his staff to be quick).It seemed at S&L there's less focus on accuracy thus there's shameless, conspicuous dishonesty at this Slug & Lettuce's bar and perhaps all others nationwide - all for the sake of speed... Definitely not an ethos I would recommend teaching as someone who works in Hospitality myself and who has worked in Customer Service for over a decade.

I haven't liked the idea of going to any other S&L since visiting this branch at Long Row in case this disdainful ethos has been taught to all Bartenders throughout the nation.

The spread of food accommodated me (as a Vegan who is the type to be satisfied if just one decent vegan dish is offered; the nachos platter at Slug & Lettuce) however I and a number of colleagues were shocked the food disappeared within an hour or so without any S&L Staff announcing the food was about to be taken away/was being taken away... A number of colleagues like myself (who were socializing at the beginning of the 6pm-start party - only having eaten little initially to ensure all 40 of us was able to try all the food) still found ourselves hungry (having thought the food would be out for much longer so colleagues who were hungrier/not having eaten at home prior (like a number of other colleagues had) could actually satisfy their hunger - knowing noone else would be going hungry as a result.

I ended up leaving before midnight and going to the McDonald's opposite where my hunger was satisfied - disappointed in having to pay for food when I shouldn't have needed to if Slug & Lettuce staff were attentive

Not feeling looked after by Slug & Lettuce I would never visit again. Nice interior design upstairs though
