Major UK Restaurant Chain Announces Site Closure in Hull
Brewers Fayre, a prominent UK restaurant chain operating 91 locations nationwide, has confirmed it will permanently shut one of its sites in early March 2026. The affected restaurant, Brewers Fayre Home Farm in Hull, Yorkshire, will cease operations on March 8, 2026, marking the end of its long-standing presence in the area.
Notification to Customers and Farewell Message
The chain informed its regular customers via email about the upcoming closure, expressing regret for any inconvenience caused. A farewell message posted on the restaurant's website stated: "Unfortunately, this restaurant will be permanently closing on 8th March 2026. The team would like to thank you for your custom over the years."
In the email, Brewers Fayre clarified that from March 8, 2026, the Home Farm location will no longer operate as a Brewers Fayre or be part of the Whitbread group. The message also provided alternative dining options for loyal patrons, highlighting another Whitbread family restaurant, Beefeater The Kingswood, located nearby in Hull.
Impact on Hotel Guests and Historical Context
For guests staying at the adjacent Premier Inn hotel, a new exclusive breakfast room will be established to cater specifically to hotel patrons. This change follows a similar pattern observed months earlier when Brewers Fayre The Wentworth in Tankersley was confirmed to leave the Whitbread group from July 23, 2025.
The Home Farm site has a rich history in the community, originally opening in 1993 and being managed by Whitbread alongside the Premier Inn hotel for over three decades. On its website, Brewers Fayre emphasizes its commitment to offering family-friendly dining experiences with freshly prepared meals at affordable prices, while striving to be a "Force for Good" in the communities it serves.
Brochain Context and Customer Guidance
This closure is part of a broader trend within the chain, as Brewers Fayre continues to adapt its portfolio. Customers are encouraged to explore other Brewers Fayre locations or use their postcode to find nearby alternatives within the Whitbread family of restaurants. The chain remains dedicated to providing welcoming environments and diverse menus for all occasions, from hearty breakfasts to special celebrations.
