No. 94 The Slug & Lettuce

Visited on 22/9/11. This is a cavernous nondescript modern bar which is part of a national chain. It was reasonably busy and seemed to be populated mainly by twenty-something ugly women wearing unfeasibly high heels and thirty-something ugly blokes wearing unfeasibly cheap suits. At one point we thought there might even have been a ‘singles’ night on, but dismissed the possibility because none of us were chatted up. Anyhow, unlike many similar establishments, real ale is on offer here - Morland Speckled Hen - and it was half decent to be fair. Not too dear either. Doubt we’ll be back like.

  1. I once walked past the place and overheard a women complaining that her son had said he'd meet her in the "Slug And Pellet" and how she'd stopped people to ask where said "Pellet" was !!

    Laugh - I almost bought a round.

  2. The Slug & Pellet is an ace name for a pub.

  3. The Royal on Woodchurch Road, Birkenhead has been renamed the Cock and Pullet. Whoever made that decision certainly is, and certainly does.

  4. That's got to be an urban myth. I demand photographic evidence.

  5. I've heard of The Organ Inn; so you can ask someone in the street : How far's the organ in ?

    And a mate swore he used to go to The Whippet Inn, where they sold, wait for it, their own cider.

  7. I reckon nobody on that blog has even noticed it's a double entendre. Looks like a decent boozer though - another CBP 'on tour' maybe.
