Group at a glance
The Company comprises of the following brands:
Premier Inn
With nearly 600 hotels, Premier Inn is the UK's largest hotel chain. Our guests tell us they love the value for money we offer, our clean and comfortable rooms and the warm welcome they receive from our team members. The Premier Inn brand is only just a little over a year old, yet already it has become the favourite budget hotel brand for business travellers. Premier Inn is transforming the perception of the budget hotel. Our rooms feature en-suite bathrooms, TV with Freeview and internet access. One of the real benefits of staying at Premier Inn is that, at every one of our hotels, you will find a restaurant serving good food and drinks at reasonable prices.
Brewers Fayre
A family restaurant, serving Britain's favourite pub food. The first new Brewers Fayre for three years was opened in Banbury in June 2008. The Brewers Fayre estate totals 130 restaurants, many of which have been refurbished during the year, with further refurbishments to come. Our extra value menu gives more range and choice to customers and we've increased the number of dishes available in our every day Fayre Deal.
Taybarns
The latest Whitbread restaurant is Taybarns, the ultimate eatery. Taybarns is an innovative dining experience and offers a range of dishes, freshly prepared in front of guests, along a huge 34-metre counter. You pay one great value price for all the food you want to eat. Already very popular, there are now seven Taybarns across the UK.
Beefeater
Beefeater was established over 35 years ago. There are now 130 Beefeater restaurants across the UK. We only use the finest cuts of steak from traditionally reared cattle fed predominantly on grass to ensure exceptional flavour and tenderness. Our steaks are expertly prepared and matured for a minimum of 28 days before being seared on the chargrill for that special Beefeater taste. Today on our menu you'll also find succulent chicken, fish and lamb grills as well as fabulous salads.
Table Table
Table Table was launched in the UK in May 2008 and now has 105 restaurants. We call it 'your' Table Table because we've designed different spaces in each restaurant to suit different customer occasions and moods. Table Table offers quick snacks or leisurely meals, with friends or family. Table Table offers just the kind of warm and friendly service our guests want.
Costa
At Costa we make it better. Our in-store baristas are all coached in the art of handmade coffee at a Costa Coffee Academy, like the one at our very own roastery in Lambeth, London. Costa opened its first store in Moscow during March 2008, its milestone 1,000th worldwide store. Costa has over 880 stores in the UK and over 400 internationally. It operates in 25 countries and is the second largest international coffee shop brand. Costa was the first UK coffee shop chain to commit to sourcing beans from Rainforest Alliance-certified farms. The Costa Foundation was set up in 2006 to give something back to coffee-growing communities. By 2010 the Foundation will have funded the building of 11 new schools in these communities.
