Harrogate Tea Rooms closes immediately
The Harrogate Tea Rooms in Westminster Arcade has closed with immediate effect.
Owners Carrie and Tony Wilkinson, who have run the business for 13 years, announced the news "with heavy hearts" on social media last night.
They said the day-to-day running costs were not translating into profit.
Their post said:
They added they tried to sell the business "but there is currently no market for the many local tea rooms/cafes up for sale".
The post thanked customers and added they will continue to make scones for delivery.
The Harrogate Tea Rooms was featured in The Harrogate Crime Series by Malcolm Hollingdrake.
Mr and Ms Wilkinson said DCI Cyril Bennett, one of the main characters, will live "in our hearts and memories", and 'will forever be drinking tea from a China cup".
