Full list of 32 Beefeater and Brewers Fayre restaurants set to close
Whitbread said it will redeploy as many staff as possible as it closes 106 branded restaurants and adds 3,600 hotel extension rooms.
- Whitbread confirmed 106 Beefeater restaurants will close on September 10, 2026, while its 89-strong Brewers Fayre chain shuts on September 7, 2026, as the hospitality group exits the branded restaurant sector.
- Owner Whitbread announced its Accelerating Growth Plan in April 2024, aiming for £250 million in cost savings amid "significant cost increases" from business rates and national insurance pressures.
- The restructuring puts around 3,800 jobs at risk nationwide, though Whitbread plans to convert restaurant sites into 3,600 new hotel extension rooms for its Premier Inn brand.
- Table Table, Bar and Block, and Cookhouse and Pub will also close on September 3, 2026, as Whitbread shifts to an integrated dining model inside Premier Inn hotels.
- Whitbread aims to become a "higher-margin, higher-returning pure-play hotel business," with in-hotel dining formats already "highly popular with hotel guests" in over half its properties.
