The company, which also owns Premier Inn, plans to shut down 200 restaurants nationwide, resulting in approximately 3,800 job losses. In the South West, 21 restaurants will close, including locations in Devon, Cornwall, Gloucestershire, and Bristol, while Somerset will lose five key venues. Affected sites include the Brewers Fayre restaurants in Glastonbury and Minehead, along with the Pavilion Beefeater in Weston-super-Mare, the White Lodge Beefeater in Taunton, and the Frome Flyer.
