Several Beefeater and and Brewers Fayre restaurants in Lancashire are set to close this week.
Premier Inn owner Whitbread revealed it would be axing around 1,500 jobs across the UK earlier this year. It came amid plans to slash its chain of branded restaurants by more than 200 in favour of building more hotel rooms. The group, which owns restaurants including Brewers Fayre and Beefeater, said the move was part of a plan to “optimise” its food and drink offering to add more than 3,500 hotel rooms across its estate and increase “operational efficiencies”.
” The FTSE 100 company announced a pre-tax profit of £452 million for the year ending February 29, up 21% on the year before. But its restaurants and pubs division, which also includes Bar+Block and Table Table, lagged behind. The company’s total food and beverage sales were up only 7% year on year, driven mainly by breakfasts in the restaurant chain. Food and beverage sales were down 2% for the seven weeks to April 18, the most recent period on record.
