Stonegate spends £2.6m on revamping four sites

The group has renovated venues in Deansgate, Birmingham, Solihull and, more recently, Manchester’s Albert Square.

The UK's largest pub and bar operator has spent over £2.6m to refresh four branches of the Slug & Lettuce. 

Stonegate Group has announced the reopening of its Albert Square, Manchester, outpost. Joining Deansgate, Birmingham and Solihull, Slug & Lettuce Albert Square is the most recent site to receive investment. It reopened on Friday, 12 July, following a £636,000 renovation.

The investment has revitalised the site with a brand-new colour scheme featuring the brand's iconic flamingo pink and jungle green. The design includes new seating booths and terrazzo and marble table tops, along with a photo booth for guests to enjoy. 

'A new lease of life'

Simon Pugsley, the newly appointed general manager of the site, comments: "The renovation of Albert Square has breathed a new lease of life and vibrancy into the venue. Manchester is now home to two 'new era' Slug & Lettuce sites, and I am eager to make Albert Square a must-visit destination in Manchester alongside the already highly popular Deansgate venue. The transformation of both sites is incredible, and the Albert Square team and I look forward to welcoming back our valued guests in the coming weeks."

Following the successful reopening of Deansgate and Birmingham, Brindley Place, earlier this year, the Solihull branch began its transformation at the end of May. The relaunched venue now boasts a revitalised garden and terrace area, complete with outdoor bar and dining facilities.
