Advantages: Often have offers on, good food, nice atmosphere, child friendly

Disadvantages: Gets packed on Friday/Sat evenings

I am a frequent visitor of the Slug and Lettuce in Durham. Although more often than not the service is slow (particularly if you place drinks orders with the waiter/ess) the staff are always friendly. I've never had a bad meal here and find that there is a good option of 'healthier' choices next too classic like burgers and pies. They change the menu regularly, although only slightly, depending on the season

After having my baby last year I found that this was the one place in Durham that I could easily get in to with a buggy and so has become a regularly meeting place for me and my other mum friends. Now the babies are older they supply crayons and colouring paper and they also have ample number of high chairs. The children's food offers a healthy selection but they are more than happy to provide you with a side plate so the toddler can share your meal.

If you sign up to their emailed new letter you regularly get through buy one meal get one free offers and two for one drink offers. On Monday's they offer 50% off all food all day, £3 cocktails 5 til 8 Monday to Thursday and all night Friday (£9 for a jug) and on a Wednesday it's £9.95 for a bottle of wine all day.

Their website is very handy, it tells you your nearest bar, any offers that your particular bar may have, together with menu's and prices.

It's definitely my preferred choice of bar in Durham.

Summary: Great place to eat, consistently good food
