Large S&L with typical modern décor. Sadly even the draught Doom Bar has been discontinued so only keg on offer. Worse, the Guinness had a distinct phenolic taste, which usually implies deficiencies in line cleaning.

Strongers . left this review about Slug and Lettuce

I had a pleasant day out walking around the shops and visiting the cathedral with the family a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately this was the only pub that I visited (damn it) as I had the nippers in tow.

It’s a Slug and Lettuce with the usual décor and selection of draught lager. I spotted a Bombardier pump on the bar, but I didn’t get the chance to see if it was hand pull or draught. I found the two barmen to be very friendly, although they both got an order wrong – not that it was that important.

There’s a plasma screen that was showing muted Sky Sports News to give way to some daytime lounge music. I’m sure the music changes during the evening as I noticed the extended opening hours (midnight Thursday and 1am Friday and Saturday) leading me to believe this place is popular with the youngsters - Like all Slugs!

This is a place for buggies and dining mothers drinking coke, at least in the daytime – although the wife did have a shandy and I discovered that the Guinness was pretty good!

If I return to St Albans with the clan again I'll probably return, but I would steer well clear if with mates or on my own.
