Local record
History of this pub
Ware's Beefeater was a large, modern steakhouse on Marsh Lane, directly opposite Ware railway station and within easy reach of the River Lea and Scott's Grotto. Its neighbour, a 60-bedroom Premier Inn, opened in March 2016. CAMRA noted a separate area for drinkers and outdoor tables, and records the restaurant's closure on 10 September 2026 when Whitbread closed its Beefeater business.
