The remainder of the Beefeater and Brewers Fayre restaurants across the UK are set to close their doors for good across 200 locations.

Owned by Whitbread, the company, which also owns Premier Inn, said the locations, which are normally inside the hotels, will close soon.

Some 30,000 employees currently work at the locations across the UK and Ireland.

Dominic Paul, Whitbread’s chief executive, said: ‘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.’
