Slug & Lettuce, Leeds

This Slug & Lettuce was very busy just after lunch on a recent Saturday afternoon. The clientele was an odd mix of shoppers stopping for lunch and hen parties at the start of their crawls. The music was very loud, which was good as it drowned out all the screeching. The left hand-side had been roped off for diners and there are a few tables under a flight of stairs to the right, I didn’t venture up as that was where the large groups of scantily clad girls were all heading. The bar runs along the rear wall where premium keg is available. This place is a horror show and I was glad to leave.

A big circuit pub on two floors, aimed squarely at the group and girly markets. No real ales, one or two marginally interesting keg but with so much variety in the adjacent places it is best avoided.

never been in one of these and probably never will again. Shiny, modern bar with no decent beer on it. Can imagine it’s packed with the gin, prosecco, cocktail crowd later but tranquil in a morning compared to the Wetherspoons in the station.

A typical Yates's. It wants to be a Wetherspoons but isn't anywhere near as good. This one is a large open plan place with just the 3 handpumps, of which nothing was of interest. Pub ticking off wise its a place to go but otherwise avoid.
