Beefeater will close all 106 of its UK restaurants on Thursday 10 September, owner Whitbread has confirmed, as part of a five-year plan the group says will deliver £250 million of cost savings.
Whitbread’s other branded restaurant formats, Bar + Block, Cookhouse + Pub and Table Table, will close on 3 September.
The exit follows Whitbread’s Accelerating Growth Plan, announced in 2024, which converted more than 200 branded restaurants into hotel rooms and introduced an integrated restaurant in each hotel.
Searches for “Beefeater UK restaurant shutdown” rose by 5,000 per cent on Google Trends after the closure dates were confirmed.
Separate research reported earlier this year found a third of UK hospitality businesses were operating at a loss following April’s tax changes.
