Whitbread Group Plc is registered under Companies House SIC codes for hotel accommodation and licensed restaurants. The evidence available links the company to the Beefeater brand, a chain of steak restaurants operating across the UK. Beefeater's own site describes itself as offering steak, breakfast, Sunday roasts and drinks menus, plus function room hire for events, and states it has served customers since 1974. Whitbread Group Plc appears to be part of the wider Whitbread group, which trades through such restaurant and hospitality brands. The company was incorporated in 1889 and remains an active registered entity, with its role centred on the hotel and licensed restaurant activities described in its SIC classification.
