Neat Burger to Close All UK Locations, Citing Financial and Operational Challenges

Neat Burger, the vegan restaurant chain co-founded by Sir Lewis Hamilton and Leonardo DiCaprio, has announced the closure of all its UK locations due to financial and operational challenges. The closures, affecting approximately 150 jobs, come after the brand reported significant financial losses in recent years, citing reduced foot traffic and rising operational costs as contributing factors.

Despite efforts to rebrand in 2024 as “Neat” and introduce a new menu with healthier ingredients, the company continued to face closures, including the shutting down of the New York location. With only two UK locations remaining operational in early 2025, Neat Burger confirmed the decision to close all UK restaurants. This marks the end of the brand's presence in the country as it reassesses its strategy for the future, leaving its outlook uncertain.
