The Slug And Lettuce

I liked the location but was totally disappointed with everything else. I went for breakfast and sat outside, there was one waitress and after waiting 15 mins for service I tracked her down inside to give my order. The full English breakfast had eggs so hard they bounced. The coffee and water orders never arrived and the bar man said they ran out of milk. When trying to find the waitress to pay the bill, she only once came to the table, I found her with the manager in a cuddle over the cash register. Get a room guys and do your day job 100% better.

Avoid on weekdays. Much better on weekends. Right next to the station so good place to met up for pre-​drinking or planning session. Never seem to have enough bar staff but I suspect that just a symptom of being a chain.

Went for lunch. Very disappointed by the steak it was burned. Also dirty table which I thought will be wiped before serving the food. A waste of money. Never again.
Avoid this place and go somewhere else. Or only get drinks because they can’t go wrong with them.

Went to grab dinner there at half 5, outside the business people were having their pints. I went inside where there was very few and I am want to do, I got a seat where I could view the wait staff picking up the food. There was a waitress with very, very long black hair and every time she went to the window, she would play with her hair, taking it down and putting it back up and then delivering food! Thankful she was not my waitress. Mine delivered my beer along with a glass but it has someone else’s lipstick still on it! Yuck!
I ordered the STUFFED MEXICAN-​STYLE PASTA SHELLS. The description is: Filled with black turtle beans, sweetcorn and cheese, sprinkled with crunchy nachos, smothered in salsa and served with our house side salad.
It was very blah and the «crunchy nachos» were not even noticeable and incredibly tiny bits. I also asked for a side of avocado. They were so old and mushy, they should have been in guacamole rather than in slices.
I would have thought that a restaurant that is in such a busy area would serve very good food and have excellent service. I missed both!

Needed a pint of some beer on a tough Friday evening after work and stopped over at Canary Wharf on my way home. This Slug and Lettuce is conveniently placed — right outside the station. It is also inhabited by the Canary Wharf crowd of suits and the softer sex.
Inside it can get quite loud, but its brilliant standing outside — just like all the other places in the Wharf.
Once we were done with the drink we spent some time sitting around outside the station watching the ticker go by. It was a boring day at the stock market, it seemed.

I came here on a weekend so it was pretty empty. There were some people sitting outside because it was cold, but most people were seated inside.
I had the cottage pie. As an American tourist… it sounded like there would be cottage cheese. It turned out to be shepards pie. The stew was good, and the beef was tender. The mashed potato on top was good. It came with green peas and breadsticks to dip in the stew. I also ordered a cappuccino which did a good job of making me wake up, partially. I had just gotten off a flight and my body was half asleep but my brain was awake.

It’s here you can sometimes squeeze a spot when the smart boys and girls flee their highrise work traps and start to drown sorrows. In summer it is crowded outside! Usual noisy chirpy crowd. No different from other S&L
