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. Whitbread has also confirmed the closure date for all its other restaurant brands, with 106 Beefeater sites set to shut on September 10, and other brands such as Bar + Block, Table Table, and Cookhouse + Pub closing on September 3. This includes the Beefeater venue at Preston Brook and the Brewers Fayre at The Hive Leisure Park in Widnes. “This plan will transform Whitbread into a higher-margin, higher-returning pure-play hotel business.”
