Whitbread announces the permanent closure of all 106 Beefeater sites and other restaurants following a consultation period.
All 106 Beefeater restaurants in the United Kingdom are set to close permanently, along with other restaurant brands owned by Whitbread. The decision follows a period of consultation.
Brewers Fayre restaurants will also see all of their locations shut down. The exact timeline for these closures was not immediately specified, but reports indicate they will be closing "soon."
A comprehensive list of affected Beefeater and Brewers Fayre locations has been released, detailing numerous restaurants across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Specific Beefeater sites slated for closure include The Anchor in Lincolnshire, The Applecart in Oxford, and Badgers Sett in Worcestershire. Among the Brewers Fayre locations set to close are Abergavenny in Abergavenny, Afon Conwy in Conwy, and Aire & Calder in Yorkshire.
This announcement marks a significant shift for the hospitality group, which has operated these popular dining establishments for many years. The closures will impact numerous communities where these restaurants have been a local fixture.
