Part of a successful chain across the UK, The Slug and Lettuce is a laid-back, contemporary group of bars and restaurants with a diverse seasonal menu of modern British classics. Set in the popular seaside resort of Southend, this buzzy branch is located in the centre of town. A large beer garden offers al fresco dining in the summer, while the relaxed interior features cosy sofas for the colder months. Well-loved staples from fish and chips to steak pie are served all day, accompanied by a wide range of beers, wines and cocktails. There are junior menus and colouring sheets for kids.
