Whitbread is to unveil its first new Beefeater pub-restaurant in eight years, under a slightly modified name. The Beefeater “Grill” will open alongside a Premier Inn budget hotel as part of a £4.8m development in Birmingham. The 220-cover restaurant and 67-room hotel, located on the city’s Hagley Road, will open on 25 February. The company at the end of last year said that it had completed the £45m remodelling of its portfolio of 129 Beefeater restaurants across the UK.
