Of course, anyone with great taste will be visiting The Slug and Lettuce right on the quayside! It’s a great spot for experiencing the legendary ‘fog on the Tyne’ or, when night creeps in, watching the famous bridges light up while enjoying a bottle of our fabulous wines. Slug staff members are always happy to help, delivering excellent table service from our extensive menu. Our spacious venue has a separate area in the bar that’s ideal for private functions

Such a beautiful little gem. It has such a magical Christmas vibe in the shop with lots of Christmas decorations, jewellery, candles, clothes and handbags to purchase, through to the amazing food. We arrived early for our table but the lovely staff member found us another table so we didn’t have to wait around. I ordered the pie and chips with veg and, wow is all I can say. I would say that you need time to rest afterwards as the portion sizes are huge. Very good value for money. Can’t wait to go back. If you haven’t been there before, you must visit.

I hate it when restaurants put a discretionary service charge on. I pay it but would tip anyway if the food and service are value for money.And a further point is the Employer should be paying decent salaries without staff having to rely on tips for their living.
