Taybarns was a British low cost all-you-can-eat restaurant chain owned by Whitbread, modelled on the Golden Corral chain in the United States.[citation needed] Customers paid on arrival and could eat as much food as they liked from a 34-metre-long food counter.[1] As with most buffets,[citation needed] there was a lower price at lunchtime than evenings, and a slightly higher charge was levied at weekends and during bank holidays.[2][3]
In March 2016, it was announced that following a strategic corporate review, all Taybarns Restaurants would close and convert to pub restaurants of Brewers Fayre.[citation needed] When the South Shields Taybarns closed on 13 September 2016, the business became defunct.
