Tate, with more than 15 years of experience managing pubs in Middlesborough, will continue to lead the venue.

In July 2024 the Stonegate Group re-opened the Slug & Lettuce pub in Albert Square, Manchester, after a £646,000 refurbishment.

The renovation was part of a larger £2.6m investment across four Slug & Lettuce locations in the UK.

The Slug & Lettuce in Albert Square now features the brand’s signature flamingo pink and jungle green decor. New seating booths and marble tabletops further enhance the venue’s aesthetic.

The Albert Square venue joins the recently re-opened locations in Deansgate, Birmingham and Solihull, all of which underwent extensive refurbishments in 2024.
