Brewers Fayre restaurants across the UK will close their doors for good in early September after owner Whitbread confirmed final trading days for all its branded eateries amid a major overhaul. The 89-strong Brewers Fayre chain will shut after dinner service on September 7 as part of Whitbread’s previously-announced move to ditch all its separately-branded restaurants, impacting around 200 sites in total. The group is replacing the chains with restaurants inside Premier Inn hotels, which it said was more efficient and “highly popular with hotel guests”. “This plan will transform Whitbread into a higher-margin, higher-returning pure-play hotel business,” he added at the time.
