From the Wikipedia article
The Slug and Lettuce is a chain of bars that operate in the United Kingdom, with a large number located in London and South East England. As of 2025, there are a total of 77 outlets. Hugh Corbett opened the first Slug and Lettuce in Islington in 1985. He attempted to enhance the public-house environment, at a time when standards were often low.

The chain has gone through a number of owners throughout its history, and is currently owned by the Stonegate Pub Company, based in Luton, Bedfordshire.
