List of Scots restaurants set to close next month as Whitbread cuts 3,800 jobs

Whitbread will close 18 restaurants across Scotland and the rest of the UK next month as part of a broader restructuring aimed at saving £250 million over five years. The company plans to shut all Beefeater and Brewers Fayre locations in Scotland and the UK, along with standalone restaurants, and to convert some sites into additional Premier Inn rooms while selling roughly £1.5 billion in freehold properties. The move follows an earlier announcement that around 3,800 jobs would be cut across the UK and Ireland. Specific closures begin September 3 for several brands including Table Table, Cookhouse+ and Bar + Block venues, with additional Brewers Fayre and Beefeater shutdowns scheduled for September 7 and September 10.
