Slug & Lettuce targets vegetarians and sharers with new menu
Rolling out across 77 sites on Wednesday (10 May), the new evening menu will carry meat-free main dish options including grilled halloumi salad, butternut squash lasagne and asparagus & pea ravioli priced at £8.29.
A new £15.49 vegetarian sharing board – comprising mini bean burgers, omelette sticks, beer-battered onion rings, tempura vegetables, crispy jalapenos, olives, tomato and avocado, skinny fries, ciabatta and dips – has also been added.
Sharing boards
New meat selections include chicken Caesar tortilla salad (£9.89) and meat and fish sharing boards priced £16.49 and £17.49 respectively.
The brand has also extended its small plates offer, which costs £18 for five dishes or £12 for three.
Warm chorizo in honey and cider sauce, hot mustard rarebit, lightly spiced barbecue chicken skewers and cured meat antipasti have also been added to capitalise on the demand for sharing plates, it said.
Meanwhile, the small plates section of the daytime menu now includes tempura vegetables, fried jalapeno slices and salt & pepper shrimp bombs.
Other highlights include a new Sweet & Petite dessert range featuring choices that include cookie crumb profiteroles and zesty lemon tart wedges for £2.99 or two for £5, and three new drinks: Skinny Absolut Lime & Soda, Skinny Gancia Leggero Prosecco and Baileys Iced Latte.
