About
Slug & Lettuce takes the final slot because Staines does have a stronger cocktail-and-brunch bar scene than many Surrey towns, and this is one of the most visible expressions of it. The official page is promo-heavy, but it clearly positions the venue around drinks, brunch and social groups, which is useful context for a real town-centre shortlist.\n\nIt stays low in the ranking because it is less distinctive than The Swan or The Last Hop, but it still covers a genuine slice of Staines nightlife.
