But we didn’t get where we are just with great drinks and unforgettable experiences. We got here with the wonderful ideas and dedication of our team, from our front-line bar superstars to our head-office heroes and everyone in between. Without our team, we couldn’t have achieved all the brilliant things we have, and that’s why we’re here to make sure our colleagues are set up for just as much success as we are. With award-winning development programmes, proven Bar to Boardroom career pathways, apprenticeship opportunities to gain nationally-recognised qualifications, and training to learn fantastic new skills, we can prove that we value our colleagues just as much as our customers. We set up every part of our business for success, and we strive to be the best we can be for our guests and colleagues alike. Here at Stonegate, we live by our values.

    Two of our Slug & Lettuce London venues have had a makeover! 🍹 We’re constantly improving and innovating our estate; and while we love developing new sites, it’s just as fun to refresh our existing ones.  This month, Slug & Lettuce Richmond and Slug & Lettuce Oxford Circus (previously Hanover Street) unveiled their new looks after a £500,000 investment, just in time for those festive celebrations. Every detail has been crafted to elevate the cocktail experience, ensuring guests can sip, mingle, and enjoy in style.  Be sure to pop into our sites where our teams are ready to give you the warmest welcome! 👋 #SlugandLettuce #London #StonegateGroup

    What happens when David McDowall and the Operating Board cover Off the Wall in Chester for the day? Take a watch to find out 👇

    CEO at Stonegate Group

    This week, myself and the Stonegate Group Operating Board took over Off the Wall in Chester, as the team headed out on a well-deserved day out – but not before leaving us a bingo sheet full of challenges to complete… From changing a barrel, to getting a five-star review, Nick Marks Tim Painter Dave Ross Claire Harris Daniel Wilkinson Lee Reed Frazer Grimbleby Carol Campbell and James Metcalfe all took it all in their stride (well kind of…🤣), as they familiarised themselves with the kitchen and bar and gave every guest the warmest welcome! We make far better decisions by being closer to our team and our guests and this is just one of the ways that we are doing that. A pub company can’t be run from a boardroom, it’s what happens in our pubs, bars and venues that truly matters. Getting back to the floor reinforces how incredibly hard our brilliant teams work, and we hope our colleagues at Off the Wall enjoyed their day out as much as the board enjoyed working their shifts! #StonegateGroup #BringingPeopleTogether

    A huge congratulations to our Stonegate Pub Partners Southwest division, who have raised over £9,000 for Breast Cancer Now, after our colleague, Sally, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Initially pledging to fundraise £1,000, the team have smashed their goal after completing the Cardiff Half Marathon and other fundraising activities. They’re not stopping there, either – with their sights set on a £15,000 fundraising goal in 2025 🏆 What a fantastic example of bringing people together from across the business to support an incredible charity and beloved colleague. To contribute to their total visit 👉 https://lnkd.in/epnGU3Qs Chris Wright Salle Wroblewski Lee Reed Mark Bicknell AssocRICS Lucy Barker Simon Deahl Rob Chamberlain Adam O'Loughlin Mark Griffiths Ben Powell John Pettit Sally Davis #BreastCancerAwareness #CardiffHalfMarathon #StonegatePubPartners #BringingPeopleTogether

    Nobody should feel alone this Christmas. That’s why we’ve teamed up with The HEINEKEN Company to launch our Pub Alone campaign. Our aim is to spark meaningful conversations on loneliness this Christmas and bring people together in safe, welcoming pub environments over the holiday period. To further support these efforts, we’re donating £75,000 to HEINEKEN UK’s charity partner, Marmalade Trust, the UK’s leading loneliness charity. So, whether it's a family gathering, the long-awaited reunion, or simply 'I'm just checking in', download MiXR, book a table, and bring people together this Christmas.

    Be At One Cocktail Bars Chester opened its doors last weekend! 🎉 Taking over a stunning Grade-I listed building on Watergate Street, the venue marks Be At One’s 41st opening - and there’s no better place than in the city’s ‘Cocktail Quarter’!🍸 In classic Be At One style, the venue opened with a bang. Which of course involved plenty of ice-throwing, light-swinging and high-energy shenanigans. We’re wishing the team in Chester the best of luck! 🥂
