Springwood Park Beefeater is to close.

The steak restaurant at Tytherington Business Park will close to the public from Thursday, September 10.

From then on, it will open only to guests staying at the neighbouring Premier Inn.

A statement on the venue's website reads: "We hope to see you again before this restaurant closes to the public on September 10, 2026.

"In the lead-up to closure, some food & drink options may not be available during your next visit. ​

"Following the restaurant closure, Premier Inn guests will continue to enjoy breakfast, evening meals and drinks throughout their stay."

Whitbread, the parent company of Premier Inn, confirmed earlier this year that it was planning close its remaining Beefeater and Brewers Fayre restaurants.

This forms part of a new 'five-year Plan' as the company looks to become a 'pure-play hotel business'.

A statement released in June states: "This change will involve exiting all of our remaining branded restaurants, which trade under brands including Beefeater and Brewers Fayre, a number of which will be converted into approximately 600 additional Premier Inn rooms, with the remainder expected to be sold as going concerns.

"The proposed changes build on the success of our Accelerating Growth Plan, announced in 2024, which involved the conversion of over 200 branded restaurants to additional rooms, and the creation of an integrated restaurant in each hotel.

"This format has proved highly popular with guests and under the proposal, it would be rolled out to all hotels where there is currently a branded restaurant."

Whitbread add that they expect to retain 'a significant proportion' of affected staff and will be looking to redeploy 'as many impacted colleagues as possible'.

However, the change in model will result in a reduction of around 3,800 roles out of a total UK and Ireland workforce of around 30,000.
