South West Wales Pizza Hut branches face uncertainty as chain enters administration

Pizza Hut’s UK restaurant business has collapsed into administration, putting dozens of dine‑in outlets at risk — including several in South West Wales.

The company confirmed that 68 restaurants will close after its franchisee DC London Pie Limited went into administration. A rescue deal by parent company Yum! Brands has secured 64 sites and saved around 1,277 jobs, but the future of the remaining branches is unclear.

Locally, Pizza Hut operates dine‑in restaurants at Llanelli’s Trostre retail park, Neath, Port Talbot and Bridgend, as well as a takeaway‑only site in Swansea. The chain has not yet confirmed which of these will be affected.

The closures put more than 740 jobs nationwide at risk. Administrators FTI Consulting said their priority was to support staff and maintain continuity at the restaurants included in the rescue deal.

The move comes less than a year after the same franchisee bought the UK dine‑in business out of insolvency.
