I never thought I'd have lunch with Henry in what used to be a place where I'd drink pint after pint of Peroni. It was a rainy Saturday afternoon, we all needed lunch. We intended to have a picnic but the weather wasn't helping. After thinking where can we go we decided to check if the Slug and Lettuce had high chairs, to our surprise they did. Wow. I'd love a large Peroni!
Henry is now at an age where we can easily choose him something from the children's menu that he will be happy with. Although he won't eat it all it saves us relying on taking a pack lunch for him every time we head out for the day. The children's menu is very well priced and has a good selection. A drink and dessert is also included. Craig enjoyed Henry's 5alive and his portion of chocolate ice cream. Henry enjoyed his battered fish, chips and peas. He loves peas!
A waitress will come to the table to take your order, the atmosphere is very pleasant and it does seem to be popular with families within your children. There is plenty of room for your high chair and pushchair if you need it to be near your table.
It's a shame we have found this lunch location after my maternity leave!
Overall I give the Slug and Lettuce a 3.5* out of a possible 5.
Access: Very large doors and plenty of room to move the pushchair around the tables.
Welcome: Not bad, considering it's a pub/wine bar I thought the welcome was okay.
Cleanliness: Okay, average. The baby changing is downstairs in the disabled toilet, it's a very large room so there is plenty of space for a pushchair if you needed to wee whilst your baby slept. You can't leave your bundle of joy outside if you're lunching alone.
Highchairs: Very good, it is the wooden ones so Henry is nice and close to the table.
Coffee & Cake: I think I should change this heading now to "children menu", I'll think about it. I did not have the coffee or cake. I would have loved a nice cool refreshing pint but I resisted. Craig did say that the ice cream was nice.
Can't decide where to go so you can enjoy a coffee or a spot of lunch without feeling that you're in the way? My website will hopefully help with that decision. I review coffee shops and restaurants and anywhere else I think parents might be interested in.
Each coffee shop/cafe/restaurant will be marked on the following.
1. Access in and around the premises with a pushchair.
2. Do you feel welcome? Is the staff helpful?
3. Cleanliness of baby changing facilities.
4. High chairs and other children’s facilities (i.e. play area)
5. Coffee & Cakes, children’s menu and price.
