A Balsall Common restaurant is due to shut amid nationwide closures.

George in the Tree on Kenilworth Road will close as operator, Whitbread, is closing its remaining Beefeater and Brewers Fayre UK sites, across around 200 locations.

Whitbread plans to replace its branded restaurants with integrated food and drink facilities for hotel guests.

Around 30,000 people still work across Whitbread's restaurant operations in the UK and Ireland.

Chief Executive, Dominic Paul said: "We plan to convert all our remaining branded restaurants to an integrated food and beverage offer that is preferred by our hotel guests and will unlock the addition of more highly profitable extension rooms.

"Our continued efforts to drive our commercial plan and efficiencies will extend our market-leading position and allow us to take share from our competitors, many of which are struggling to grow."

A closing date has not been confirmed
