Administrators have confirmed the locations of a raft of TGI Fridays restaurants which will shut after the dining chain fell into administration.

The company has permanently shut 16 venues across the UK, in a move which will hit 456 workers.

Administrators from Interpath said the closures came despite the business securing a pre-pack administration deal with Sugarloaf, the company behind the chain’s global brand.

As a result, 33 restaurants will remain open and retain 1,384 jobs.

The following restaurants have closed due to the administration:

-Ashton Under Lyne, Greater Manchester -Doncaster, South Yorkshire -Staines, Surrey -Stevenage, Hertfordshire -Walsall, West Midlands -Bournemouth, Dorset -Telford, Shropshire -Reading, Berkshire -Coventry, Warwickshire -Edinburgh, Scotland -Crawley, West Sussex -Aberdeen Beach, Scotland -Nottingham, Nottinghamshire -Sheffield, South Yorkshire -Stratford, Greater London -Braintree, Essex
