    An American themed diner in Harrogate appears to have closed after enforcement notices were placed in its windows.

    The Fabulous 50s Diner on Bower Road opened two years ago on the site of the former Cafe Rita.

    Enforcement notices issued by Wilson & Roe High Court Enforcement have been put in the window of the diner which state that authorised agents on behalf of the landlord have “re-entered the land”.

    It adds:

    “Any attempt by you or your agents to enter these premises will result in criminal or civil proceedings being taken against you.”


    The notices go on to add that, under Section 12(3) of the Torts Act 1977, any third party which asserts ownership to goods in 15a Bower Street has until 5pm on January 5 to collect them.

    Meanwhile, the diner’s Facebook page has not posted since November 27 and its Instagram page appears to have been removed.



    The move comes as the Stray Ferret reported in August that the owners of the diner, The Hub Caffe Ltd, had appointed liquidators and applied to be wound up.

    An announcement on official public record website The Gazette said Richard Hunt of SFP Restructuring Limited in London had been appointed liquidator on July 21.

    The Gazette also reported a general meeting of the company on the same date resolved to voluntarily wind-up the business.

    The announcement, dated July 27, was authorised by director Wagdy Mansour.

    Following the report by the Stray Ferret, a post on the diner’s Facebook page said the restaurant had not closed.

    It added:

    “The Fabulous 50's Diner is not closing we have just changed owners.
    “The restaurant is open and will continue to offer the same menus, music, and pizza. We would like you to read carefully, only Mr. Wagdy's two companies have gone into liquidation. The Fabulous 50's Diner now belongs to new owner MO DINER LTD.
    “We are waiting for you to come visit the restaurant. We will continue what Mr. Wagdy and his wife started by keeping the memory of you as the initiators of this restaurant.”
