A small number of sites mainly around the west of London for example the Ock Mill in Abingdon, and the Crossbush in Arundel, were converted to "Out and Out".

Brian Turner was recruited to advise on the remaining Beefeaters, and his signature dishes and face were featured on the menu.

As the brand declined further, a number of sites, such as "The Cotton Mill" in Kilmarnock and "Craig House" near Inveresk, were rebranded as Brewers Fayre, while others were sold, like the Carpenters Arms in Botley, Oxford, now a McDonald's.

In the early 2000s, the parent company Whitbread invested millions of pounds refurbishing almost all of its Beefeater outlets in a project known internally as "B2".

Beefeater restaurants are located throughout mainland Britain from Inverness's "Loch Ness House" to Plymouth's "Marsh Mills".

Most restaurants are located alongside major road junctions with a neighbouring Premier Inn, but a few are found in town and city centres
