Slug and Lettuce chain's future in doubt over massive £2bn debt
Concerns have been raised over the future of thousands of pubs, including 80 in Greater Manchester, after it emerged that the UK's largest pub chain Stonegate is grappling with a huge £2.3bn debt. The group, which owns Slug and Lettuce, also operates more than 4,400 other hospitality venues in the UK, including Be At One and a series of smaller bars - but has warned that there is a risk it might not be able to service its debts.
