The Stonegate Pub Company has invested £325,000 to open a new Slug & Lettuce in Huddersfield, replacing a Yates’s wine bar site. The brand, which celebrates its 30th birthday this month, has opened in King Street and plans to mark the occasion with a launch party on Saturday, 4 July where the first visitors will receive free drinks and other freebies.
General manager Richard Bardsley told the Huddersfield Examiner: “King Street already has a great late-night reputation, but with the addition of this new Slug & Lettuce we are looking to attract a mature, female-friendly crowd. We are excited to offer a more premium venue for an early drink and a casual dining experience before offering somewhere lively later on in the evening.”
Companies House annual accounts for Slug & Lettuce showed the division had a turnover of £77,053,000 in the year ended 28 September 2014 and made a pre-tax profit of £6,044,000.
