"Sheila McKenzie, who had founded the female-friendly Pitcher & Piano chain"
This statement is sourced to the usually reliable Guardian, which says: "The Slug & Lettuce chain is the brainchild of managing director Sheila McKenzie, who also founded the Pitcher & Piano concept for the brewers, Marston's, which was one of the main attractions of Marston's when it was acquired by rivals Wolverhampton & Dudley." But other sources say Pitcher & Piano was created by Crispin Tweddell in 1986:,  and was bought by Marstons in 1996:. I'm not quite sure what the full story is, though I suspect that Sheila McKenzie was involved in Pitcher & Piano from the start, and may have been either a co-founder or the director.

The first Slug and Lettuce
THE FIRST SLUG AND LETTUCE. Was in Cranbourne, North Ascot. Originally the Queen’s Arms, on Lovell Road. It was bought by Barry Ward, who got the name from one of the locals. This was in the early 80s. I know, because I worked there for a while, I was in between gigs but ended up married to the owner. We had nothing to do with the chain that came much later. 146.200.79.130 (talk) 17:34, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
