An award-winning Harrogate farm shop is set to reopen its popular café on Monday.

Fodder, at the Great Yorkshire Showground, says it is ready to “bounce back” from disruption caused by coronavirus. The café will be open seven days a week, 9am to 4.30pm, with safety measures in place.

A new covered walkway has been created to allow for a one-way system from the shop to the café. Customers will be asked to give track and trace details on arrival and, as before, bookings will not be taken.

Fodder’s manager Vanessa Pitt said:

“We are so excited to reopen Fodder café and welcome our customers back after such a long pause. Rest assured, we are taking every possible precaution to offer the very best experience in a relaxing environment.

“Our best-loved dishes will be available on a reduced menu to start with, including all our delicious cakes and treats, Sunday roasts and Yorkshire’s finest produce.”

Fodder farm shop is open Monday to Sunday 9am to 5pm and has remained open throughout lockdown. Fodder is not taking part in the government’s “Eat out to Help Out” scheme.

Bettys will open its Harrogate tea rooms on Monday, July 27 and you won’t need to book in advance to get a table.

It will be a slightly different experience for visitors in order to maintain social distancing. The cafe will also be offering a reduced menu.

Bettys said it will still aim to make sure the experience is “just as lovely as people remember”.

Bettys has announced its reopening date for later this month.

Coronavirus may have delayed the plans but Masterchef Matt Healy will open his third healthy cafe in Harrogate next week.

Grön Kafé will open on Monday, June 15 at Cold Bath Clubhouse, 46 King’s Road with a pop up site to sell groceries.

The cafe will have a focus on “keeping it clean” by serving up vegan and allergy-friendly food and drinks as well as the regular favourites.

It will offer Buddha Bowls and ‘croissant-wiches’ along with coffee, freshly-baked pastries, and cakes.

The Grön Kafé will operate as takeaway only for the time being until the government lifts the restrictions on cafes and restaurants.

As well as the cafe, they will open up a pop-up greengrocer which they say was a huge hit at the Leeds site.

The Grön Grocer will stock essentials like fruit and vegetable boxes, flour, milk, and bread.

Chef Patron Matt Healy and Masterchef finalist said he was looking forward to opening in Harrogate:

“We’ve been able to bring a little slice of normality with our Grön Grocer concept. Being able to grab a cracking flat white and a pastry has made people’s day, so we’re looking forward to bringing that to Harrogate. It’s been a tough but exciting journey adapting to the ‘new normal’. It’s been in the works for a long time, and whilst this isn’t how we expected to open, we can’t wait to get stuck in.”
