More than 60 restaurants and bars are closing this week as Premier Inn owner Whitbread confirms more shutdowns.

Back in July, Whitbread announced that 200 Beefeater and Brewers Fayre restaurants would close in September 2026.

This week, the same company is shutting 66 restaurants and pubs across three chains: popular steakhouse chain Bar + Block; Cookhouse + Pub; and family-friendly pub chain Table Table.

All affected locations will shut on September 3, just one week before the 200Brewers Fayre and Beefeater restaurants are planned to shut on September 7 and 10 respectively.

So which restaurants are shutting?

All Bar + Block closures

A total of 20 Bar + Block locations will close on September 3rd, including seven branches located in London.

The restaurant chain shared a heartfelt post on Instagram last week, thanking customers and staff for their continued support.

The post reads: ‘We are immensely grateful to every guest who came through our doors, and to our passionate team who made every experience unforgettable.

‘Before we mix our final drink and serve our last steak on September 3, we’d love to welcome you back one last time.’

It continued: ‘Come raise a glass, savour your favourite dish, and toast to the memories we’ve made together.’

Full list of all Table Table closures

All 32 Table Table pub and restaurant locations will shut on September 3, including:

• The Bishopsgate, Lancashire
• The Callywith, Cornwall
• The Colliers, Staffordshire
• The Derby Lodge, Merseyside
• The Gateway, Hampshire

Every Cookhouse + Pub location shutting this week

Finally, the Cookhouse + Pub chain is shutting all 14 of its locations this week, including:

• The Brickfield, Kent
• The Freeman, Bridlington 
• The Highwayman, St Neots
• Inn on the Park, Enfield

The closures come as Whitbread moves to shut all of its standalone restaurant chains, pivoting instead to an ‘integrated food and beverage offer’.

It also comes as the UK high street continues to face an onslaught of closures.

Earlier this week, mini-supermarket group Foreways announced that it was closing all five of its locations in Carlisle, Cumbria.

Meanwhile, accessories brand Radley shut all of its shops and website last month, Morrisons announced plans to close 100 of its Daily convenience store locations, and Quiz Clothing shut its doors, too.
