Whitbread, the owner of Premier Inn, has closed all 195 of its Beefeater and Brewers Fayre restaurants this week.

The hotel chain owner began the closures last week by shutting down dozens of its Bar + Block, Cookhouse + Pub, and Table Table restaurants and pub chains.

It then closed 89 Brewers Fayre restaurants on Monday, followed by 106 Beefeater locations yesterday.

Combined, 261 Whitbread-owned restaurants and pubs have closed this month across the UK as the company pivots to replace all standalone restaurant chains with an ‘integrated food and beverage offer’.

Websites for the chains are still up, but they display a message thanking guests for dining with them ‘over the years’ before pointing them to the Premier Inn.

What other closures have happened on the UK high street?

The news comes as more shops and chains on the British high street are currently facing closures.

Most recently, it was revealed that 100 Morrisons Daily stores are to be axed, while the summer saw closures hit Quiz Clothing, popular accessories brand Radley, and corner shop chain Foreways.

Why are the restaurants shutting?

Announcing the closures, Dominic Paul, Whitbread’s chief executive, said at the time: ‘We plan to convert all our remaining branded restaurants to an integrated food and beverage offer that is preferred by our hotel guests and will unlock the addition of more highly profitable extension rooms.

‘Our continued efforts to drive our commercial plan and efficiencies will extend our market-leading position and allow us to take share from our competitors, many of which are struggling to grow.’
