The company that operated The Inn at Cheltenham Parade in Harrogate is to be wound-up by liquidators.
A notice on public records website The Gazette said The Inn Harrogate Ltd appointed insolvency firm Begbies Traynor as liquidators to wind up the business on March 8.
The Inn at Cheltenham Parade, which remains open, is a bar, restaurant and hotel with 14 rooms. The venue was known as Harrogate Brasserie until it rebranded as The Inn at Cheltenham Parade in 2019.

We contacted the pub and the liquidators for further information.
Adrian Sykes, who is listed as a director of The Inn Harrogate on the Companies House website, said:
“I ran The Inn at Cheltenham Parade as a tenancy. The limited company has been put in to liquidation. But someone else has taken the tenancy on from the landlord so it is trading as normal under the same name. All staff and suppliers have been transferred over to the new company.”
Begbies Traynor did not respond to our request for further details.

Paperchase in Harrogate will close tomorrow after the company went into administration last month.
The cards, gifts and stationery company has been holding a closing down sale since administrators Begbies Traynor took control of the business.
The James Street shop has already sealed off half of the unit as stocks run low. It is running a 70% off sale and selling some cards for as little as 10p.
Tesco bought the rights to the cards, gifts and stationery brand, entitling it to sell Paperchase items in its supermarkets, but did not buy the stores.
The move affected 106 Paperchase shops and more than 800 staff nationally. All stores are due to cease trading by Monday.

Paperchase in Harrogate to close
Paperchase in Harrogate is holding a closing down sale after the company went into administration this week.
Tesco bought the rights to the cards, gifts and stationery brand, entitling it to sell Paperchase items in its supermarkets, but did not buy the stores.
It means the shop on James Street is one of 106 stores facing uncertain futures. More than 800 staff nationally are affected.
Signs have now gone up in the window confirming the closure, although the final day of trading is not yet known.
In-store notices confirm administrators Begbies Traynor have been running the business since Tuesday.
They say no further gift cards will be sold and customers have until 5pm on February 14 to use existing gift cards.

Paperchase in Harrogate faces uncertain future as company goes into administration
Staff at the Harrogate branch of stationery store Paperchase face an uncertain future after the company went into administration today.
Sky News reported this morning Tesco was in advanced talks to buy Paperchase’s name and other intellectual property through a pre-pack administration but was unlikely to be interested in any stores — casting doubt over the workforce’s future.
Later, administrators Begbies Traynor said in a statement:
“On January 21, Mark Fry, Kirstie Provan and Gary Shankland, of Begbies Traynor, were appointed as joint administrators of Aspen Phoenix Newco Limited, which trades as Paperchase.
“Unfortunately, despite a comprehensive sales process, no viable offers were received for the company, or its business and assets, on a going concern basis.
“However, there has been significant interest in the Paperchase brand and attendant intellectual property.
“The joint administrators will continue trading the company’s operations in the short term, with all stores remaining open and trading as normal.”
The Harrogate shop, on James Street, is one of 134 branches of Paperchase, which was founded in 1968.
More than 800 staff are employed by the company nationally.
Paperchase went through insolvency proceedings four years ago before being bought out of administration during the pandemic in 2021.
Staff in Harrogate told the Stray Ferret they were unable to comment at this time when we called this morning.
