No plans to reopen Harrogate restaurant months after 'temporary closure'
Big Table Group recently bought Casual Dining Group and took on 150 of its restaurants trading as Las Iguanas, Bella Italia and Cafe Rouge. But Las Iguanas in Harrogate was not included in the deal.
Las Iguanas on John Street remains closed.
There appear to be no plans to reopen Las Iguanas in Harrogate, six months after the restaurant said it would close temporarily.
Las Iguanas, on John Street, remains closed with chairs stacked on tables. A notice in the window from staff still reads "we can't wait to see you very soon".
Big Table Group acquired Casual Dining Group in August and took on 150 of its restaurants trading as Las Iguanas, Bella Italia and Cafe Rouge.
But Las Iguanas in Harrogate was not included in the deal, which has left its future uncertain.

The Stray Ferret asked Big Table Group whether the restaurant will reopen but a spokesperson said it would not comment on individual sites.
James Spragg, chief executive of The Big Table, said of the takeover in August:
"We inevitably emerge from this process as a leaner business, and one that is now equipped to navigate the challenges the industry faces, safeguarding thousands of jobs."
