Stonegate invests over £2.6m in four Slug and Lettuce venues

Stonegate Group has announced the opening of Slug and Lettuce in Albert Square, Manchester, following a £2.6m investment across four of its venues.

According to Stonegate, the investments signal a “new era” for Slug and Lettuce, marked by an “evolution in the look and feel” of venues across the UK.

Joining Deansgate, Birmingham and Solihull, Slug and Lettuce Albert Square is the most recent site to receive investment and reopened on 12 July 2024 following a £646,000 renovation.
The investment has revitalised the site with a new colour scheme featuring the brand’s signature flamingo pink and jungle green.

The new design includes seating booths, decorations and terrazzo and marble tabletops. A newly installed photo booth has also been installed.

Following the successful reopening of Slug and Lettuce in Manchester, Deansgate and Brindley Place, Birmingham earlier this year, the Solihull venue underwent a transformation at the end of May.

The venue reopened its doors with a revitalised garden and terrace area, complete with an outdoor bar and dining facilities. The terrace is adorned with festoon lighting, sofa seating booths, and a covered pergola.

Simon Pugsley, the newly appointed general manager of the site, said: “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 and 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.”
