A Nottingham steakhouse is shutting its doors as part of nationwide closures. It’s eight years since Bar + Block launched in June 2018 on Father’s Day.<\/p>\n

The restaurant, part of the Premier Inn hotel in the city’s Chapel Quarter, is one of 20 Bar + Block that closing for good on September 3.<\/p>\n

Following the restaurant closure, hotel guests will still be able to have breakfast, evening meals and drinks during their stay.<\/p>\n

It is part of a massive overhaul by parent company Whitbread which is shutting down 261 restaurants across the UK to reduce costs and integrate dining areas directing into its hotels.<\/p>\n

Brewers Fayre and Beefeater restaurants around the country are also scheduled to close on September 7 and September 10 respectively, including three in Nottinghamshire.<\/p>\n

Millers Barn in Cinderhill Road, Nottingham, Roman Way in Newark, and The Dukes in Worksop will shut their doors..<\/p>\n

The company said it hoped to see diners before the restaurants close but warned: “In the lead-up to closure, some food and drink options may not be available during your next visit.”<\/p>\n

Anyone wanting bottomless brunch or Sunday roasts are asked to call the restaurant directly to check availability as it will vary by site.<\/p>\n

Whitbread announced the changes earlier this year as part of its proposed five-year plan to focus on the hotel side of the business.<\/p>\n

A statement said: “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.”<\/p>\n

The company, which has a workforce in the UK and Ireland of 30,000, said it hoped to redeploy a number of staff but changes could result in the loss of around 3,800 jobs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
