Table Table

It lived. It served. It died.

This article is dedicated to the late Table Table.
Fly high, sweet angel...

Table Table was a British chain of pub-restaurants owned by the Whitbread Group.

Table Table was a successor to Out & Out, a brand Whitbread used for rebranded Beefeater restaurants starting in 2000. Table Table, then unnamed, began life in 2006, taking over from underperforming Brewers Fayre locations.

This was after the failure of Brewsters, a spin-off brand of Brewers Fayre aimed at families that lasted from 1999 to 2005. The Table Table name would not be launched until May 2008.

Over the years, some Table Table restaurants were replaced by Whitbread's other brands, as Whitbread has been known to change around some of their restaurant brands.

On 30 April 2024, Whitbread announced, as part of their new Accelerated Growth Plan, they were going to close over 200 of its branded restaurants due to financial difficulties. These closures began in July 2024.

Exactly two years later, on 30 April 2026, Whitbread announced that all their remaining restaurants would close by the end of the year, marking the end of Whitbread's involvement in the resturant business as they shift their focus to their most profitable brand, Premier Inn.

Following the sale of 53 of Whitbread's restaurants to Queensway Inns in August 2026, many Table Table restaurants had closed by the end of August. The remaining locations closed on 3 September, marking the end of the brand.
