Brewers Fayre

Common card · No. 353430

Brewers Fayre was a British chain of pub-restaurants, founded in 1981 by Whitbread and best known for being orientated towards families and serving a Sunday carvery. Starting from one trial location in 1981, Brewers Fayre expanded to over 100 locations nationwide by the end of the 1980s. In 1992, Charlie Chalk Fun Factory soft play crèches were added in many of its locations, and in 1999, Whitbread launched the Brewsters spin-off, a pub chain focused towards young children's entertainment. In April 2006, Whitbread began consolidating their Brewers Fayre estate, selling off standalone sites to favour those near its sister Premier Inn hotels. In the early 2020s, Whitbread began exploring sales of most of its Brewers Fayre business to focus on their Premier Inn business, and in April 2026, Whitbread announced a cull of all Brewers Fayre and Beefeater locations. Whitbread closed the remaining 90 locations on 7 September 2026.
