The result
Las Iguanas delivered strong growth during the eight years of our ownership, expanding from its South West heartland into a national brand, and increasing the number of sites from 14 to 41. Over this period the company created more than 1,200 jobs.
In 2015, Las Iguanas was sold to Casual Dining Group for £85 million.
