Slug and Lettuce

Wants to be a trendy wine bar but instead delivers disappointing food, mediocre Pinot and unimaginative décor. The only way you'll think this place is trendy is if you're an estate agent in a stripy shirt. And even then only because you'll feel like you're slumming it a bit. A small step up from Wetherspoons, this dull chain isn't the place to impress a date, enjoy fine wine or sample anything remotely tasty. The drinks are cheap so you get what you pay for. Itchy suggests buying a bottle of £3 Tesco Merlot and going to sit in Ikea for the same effect.
