Former Norfolk restaurant sites to reopen under new brand
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 13:08 · Archive
Common Table Group is buying 57 closed Beefeater, Brewers Fayre and Cookhouse sites, potentially including two Norfolk locations.
Common Table Group, a newly established hospitality firm founded by Thomas Anderson, is set to buy 57 closed Beefeater, Brewers Fayre and Cookhouse sites plus one Premier Inn hotel. The sites closed following a restructuring by Whitbread, which affected 197 Beefeater and Brewers Fayre locations across the UK, including three in Norfolk: a Beefeater in Great Yarmouth and Brewers Fayre sites in King's Lynn and near Norwich Airport.
Common Table has not confirmed whether any of the remaining two Norfolk locations are included in its takeover. The Great Yarmouth site has been sold separately to Queensway Inns, which plans to relaunch 53 sites as part of a new restaurant chain.
The rebranded venues under Common Table are expected to remain as restaurants offering all-day menus, with barista-made coffee and bakery items provided through a partnership with Rodeo Coffee Co. More than 700 jobs are expected to be created as part of the relaunch, with sites potentially reopening as early as mid-November.
