About Us
Stonegate Group is the UK’s largest operator of pubs, bars, and late-night venues, including Slug & Lettuce, Be At One, and Popworld, to name a few. We’re proud of our diverse portfolio and deeply committed to creating an inclusive culture that embraces individuality in all its forms—including neurodiversity. By fostering an environment where everyone feels welcome, valued, and supported, we reflect the vibrant communities we serve and empower our people to thrive.
The Opportunity
Located in the heart of The Hub, Slug & Lettuce Milton Keynes sits at the centre of a thriving hospitality scene. With a strong reputation for delivering exceptional brunches, memorable nights out and outstanding guest experiences, this is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious and people-focused General Manager to lead a business that is already performing exceptionally well.
Following a recent refurbishment, the venue is looking better than ever and continues to go from strength to strength. Boasting two vibrant bars, a thriving daytime brunch business and an impressive late-night trade, this is a site that offers the best of both worlds. From bottomless brunch celebrations and weekend social occasions to busy evenings and late-night energy, you'll be leading a business with multiple revenue streams and huge potential for continued growth.
