Two Pizza Hut restaurants in Dudley and Kidderminster are set to close their doors after being included on a list of closures by the chain.

The restaurant on Castlegate Park in Dudley and Weavers Wharf in Kidderminster are among 68 restaurants which will close after the company behind Pizza Hut's UK venues fell into administration.

The chain will also shut 11 delivery sites as part of a restructuring which will put 1,210 workers at risk of redundancy.

DC London Pie, the firm running Pizza Hut’s UK dine-in restaurants under a franchise deal, appointed administrators from corporate finance firm FTI on Monday.

American hospitality giant Yum! Brands, which owns the global Pizza Hut business, said it has now bought the UK restaurant operation in a pre-pack administration deal, saving 64 sites.
