Which Beefeaters were in Wales?
5 Beefeaters in Wales were on Whitbread's closure list: Bagle Brook, The Coldra, The Longbow, Walston Castle and The Waterfront. All closed on 10 September 2026.
| Former Beefeater | Area | Postcode | Now |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bagle Brook | Port Talbot | SA12 8ES | Premier Inn Port Talbot: Premier Inn restaurant |

The area is the one on Whitbread's closure list. 'Now' is the restaurant listed on the nearest Premier Inn hotel page within 600 metres, a Queensway Inns pub at the same address, or a reported new owner. A hotel restaurant nearby does not prove it is in the old Beefeater building.
