Our Company Name

As Stonegate Group we are the largest pub company in the UK. We currently operate and own over 4,500 sites across our portfolio including leased and tenanted, managed and commercial property models. Stonegate Group is the brand under which Stonegate Pub Company Limited, and all subsidiary companies or group undertakings, operate under.

Across our Pub Partners estate you may notice that some communications (such as legal documents, invoices, Direct Debits etc) are not issued under the name of Stonegate Group, but may reference one of the subsidiary companies listed below:

  • Ei Group Limited
  • Ei Publican Services Limited
  • Unique Pub Properties Limited

This is due to the fact that the individual agreement for a particular pub and publican will be held in the name of the subsidiary company referenced.  However, regardless of this all subsidiary companies operate under, and form part of, the Stonegate Group.
