Major UK restaurant chain confirms closure date for all 106 locations

Beefeater and Brewers Fayre restaurants across the UK are set to close their doors at 200 locations – and now the closing date for the former has been confirmed.

All 106 Beefeater restaurants will shut for good on Thursday, September 10.

Owned by Whitbread, which also owns Premier Inn, the company first announced that both restaurant brands would close back in April.

Some 30,000 employees currently work at the locations – typically found inside hotels – across the UK and Ireland.

Beefeater broke the bad news to members of the restaurant’s rewards scheme this week.

The loyalty programme will close on August 31, a letter to members obtained by the Southern Echo said.

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.’
