www.tripadvisor.caHere are the latest publicly reported updates I can share:
-
Harvester Meridian Park in Braunstone, Leicester, is closing permanently after service on Friday, 24 April 2026, following 15 years of operation. The closure is part of Mitchells & Butlers’ ongoing review of its estate, rather than due to an emergency or single incident. Final day of service was 24 April 2026, with staff being consulted and redeployment arranged where possible. [Source coverage cites official statements from the chain and multiple outlets reporting the same timeline.]
-
Nearby Harvester locations (e.g., in Loughborough and Nuneaton) are mentioned as potential redeployment options for staff, and the company indicated plans to bring back its salad bar and rotisserie concept at an appropriate new site in the future.
-
Additional articles reiterate the timeline (final service date 24 April 2026) and describe the closure as part of a broader pattern of estate optimization rather than a crisis-driven shutdown.
If you’re trying to verify a specific detail (e.g., exact statements from Mitchells & Butlers, or implications for nearby branches), I can pull the exact quotes and summarize them with citations. I can also share practical steps for customers or staff impacted by the closure, such as how to check for redeployment opportunities or alternative Harvester locations.
