Crewe's Farmhouse Beefeater restaurant has now closed down, pathing the way for Wetherspoon to return to the town this summer.

Shutting its doors for the final time on Wednesday 24 June, the Coppenhall Lane closure comes after Whitbread ceases all remaining Beefeater and Brewers Fayre UK sites, across around 200 locations.

Wetherspoon, has not had a branch in Crewe since January 2018, when The Gaffers Row, Victoria Street, closed to make way for demolition of the Royal Arcade site.

It is understood Wetherspoon will reopen the Crewe West site in mid-august, with all staff offered roles at the new pub.

Earlier this June, A Wetherspoon spokesperson exclusively told Nub News: "We can confirm that The Farmhouse (Crewe) has been sold to Wetherspoon.
