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
