A Newcastle burger boss who said he felt "forced out" of his business following a rent row with landlords has launched a fundraiser to find a new premises.
Patties Burger Joint on Chillingham Road, Heaton, closed suddenly on Thursday, May 5, after being served with a forfeiture notice by landlords Ikonic Properties Ltd.
Owner and chef Edward Anderson said he had been negotiating the terms of his lease renewal with Ikonic Properties Ltd since October last year after they notified him they wanted to increase the rent by "£10,000 per year more".
