Stonegate launches Social Pub and Kitchen brand to consumers
With more than £5m invested into refurbishing its pubs in FY24 and with more to come in FY25, this investment project aims to enhance its managed estate
Stonegate Group has introduced its new Social Pub and Kitchen brand to consumers, following the refurbishment and rebrand of pubs across England and Scotland.
With more than £5m invested into refurbishing its pubs in FY24 and with more to come in FY25, this investment project aims to enhance its managed estate and create more than 300 jobs across the country.
Although Social Pub and Kitchen has been a part of the managed Stonegate portfolio since 2022, the brand is now being introduced to consumers for the first time “with newly transformed pubs and refreshed branding”.
Recent refurbed Social Pub and Kitchen sites include Gosta Green and Bristol Pear in Birmingham; The Anchor in Bristol; The City Arms in Oxford and Off The Wall in Chester.
According to Stonegate, Social Pub and Kitchen aims to “redefine the concept of the Great British pub with its ‘Pub 2.0’ approach, providing a modern twist on a traditional pub”.
James Metcalfe, marketing director at Stonegate Group, said: “It’s exciting to introduce Social Pub and Kitchen to the public as a brand that offers an inclusive, fun and individually crafted pub experience.
“We’ve thoughtfully invested in each site to ensure they are well-positioned for success, providing every pub with its own unique character while maintaining a strong, cohesive identity that celebrates exciting new food innovation, awesome draught beer and best in class sports experience.”
He added: “We want consumers to easily recognise and seek out Social Pub and Kitchen for its distinctive look and feel, as well as the memorable experiences on offer.”
