Closure of Four Brewers Fayre Restaurants in Essex Amid Major Restructuring
Four Brewer’s Fayre restaurants in Essex are set to close permanently on Monday, September 7, as part of a nationwide move by the chain’s parent company, Whitbread. This decision will affect locations in Chafford Hundred, Chequers Corner in Dagenham, The Mayflower in Harwich, and the Mulberry Tree in Braintree.
Whitbread has announced that all 106 of its Brewer’s Fayre sites across the UK will cease operations. The popular chain, known for its family-friendly dining experience featuring a varied menu that includes burgers, Sunday roasts, and fish and chips, is also associated with children’s play areas and outdoor gardens.
The forthcoming closures are part of Whitbread’s extensive restructuring plan aimed at achieving savings of £250 million. This plan involves the complete winding down of both the Beefeater and Brewers Fayre restaurant portfolios, putting approximately 3,800 jobs at risk nationwide.
The last day of service for the Beefeater restaurants will be on September 10.
