Crossbush Beefeater announces closure date
Crossbush Beefeater is set to close permanently – here’s when.
The restaurant, in Crossbush Lane, is among 106 Beefeater branches nationwide earmarked for closure.
In April 2024, parent company Whitbread announced it would be selling ‘a number of’ branded restaurants.
This year, the company decided to extend the program to include all remaining restaurants.
The move will see the brand add 3,600 new Premier Inn hotel rooms in areas with strong demand.
Whitbread confirmed all Beefeater restaurants will close after dinner service on Thursday, September 10.
A Whitbread spokesperson said: “We first announced our Accelerating Growth Plan to sell a number of our Branded Restaurants in April 2024.
“In April 2026 we announced that, subject to consultation, we were extending the programme to include all remaining Branded Restaurants that will see us add a total of 3,600 new hotel extension rooms in locations where we know we have strong demand.
"Following consultation, we have now taken the decision to proceed with this proposal.
"We will continue to offer a great breakfast and dinner at all hotels, replacing Branded Restaurants with a restaurant inside the hotel.
"This mirrors the format which is already in operation in over half of Premier Inn hotels and is highly popular with hotel guests.”
