Legendary Glasgow restaurant sold
Greene King has bought the Glasgow-based Clydesdale-family pub and restaurant business, which includes Ubiquitous Chip, Stravaigin and Hanoi Bike Shop for an undisclosed sum.
The Ubiquitous Chip recently celebrated its 50th birthday (see here).
Colin Clydesdale said: “Metropolitan Pub Company approached Carol and I, as great admirers of The Chip, Stravaigin and Hanoi, with an interest in buying. After much consideration, we decided to sell the business that has been in family ownership since 1971.
“I truly believe the business and people will be in safe hands with Michael and the team, who will continue the legacy that we have built. We look forward to visiting as customers for many years to come.”
“We are really excited to welcome these iconic sites to the Metropolitan estate, and continuing the legacy that the Clydesdale family has built over the last 50 years.“We are looking forward to working with the 145 team members to continue providing the world class hospitality to the people of Glasgow.”
Michael Horan, managing director of Metropolitan Pub Company
