Slug and Lettuce is a chain of bars that operate in the United Kingdom, with a large number located in London and South East England. As of 2017, there are a total of 70 outlets.[3] Hugh Corbett opened the first Slug and Lettuce in Islington in 1985. He attempted to enhance the public-house environment, at a time when standards were often low.

The bars are designed for a youthful clientele, and aim to attract an equal number of men and women with "female-friendly" designs.[4][5][6] The chain has remained relevant by continually re-inventing itself for the contemporary marketplace.[7][8] The chain has gone through a number of owners throughout its history, and is currently owned by the Stonegate Pub Company, based in Luton, Bedfordshire.[9]
