Meatcure closes last restaurant, citing “excessive” rents and rates
The business closed four out of five restaurants in 2017.
East Midlands burger chain Meatcure has closed its last restaurant in Market Harborough.
The restaurant also happened to be the first site to be opened in 2014.
The business closed four out of five restaurants in 2017 after going into liquidation, owing £304,000 to creditors.
“We gave everything and invested every penny we had into making Meatcure the exceptional restaurant that we all loved so very much. But unfortunately with excessive rents and rates and rising costs and fewer people spending than ever before, and with no money behind us to give Meatcure the regeneration we believe it needed to stay current we can no longer continue,” its owners said in a Facebook post.
Founded by Rob Martyniak and Paul Rigby, Meatcure was launched in 2014 and expanded its business across five restaurants in Market Harborough, Leicester, Hinkcley Crescent, Bedford and Leamington Spa.
