Harrogate bohemian cafe applies for alcohol licence
A Harrogate farm shop and bohemian-style cafe has applied for a licence to serve alcohol.
Harrogate Borough Council will decide whether to grant the licence for 53 Bo'Grove at a meeting next week.
The shop on Grove Road has applied to sell alcohol with meals on the premises from 9am until 5pm Monday and Tuesday, 9am until 8pm Wednesday to Saturday and 10am until 4pm on Sundays.
In its application, Bo'Grove said the premises would operate as a farm shop, cafe and bistro, not as a bar or "vertical drinking establishment" where people mostly stand up to drink.

It added that any drinks purchased on site would only be allowed to be taken off premises in sealed containers.
Kyrensa Bentley, owner of 53 Bo'Grove, set up the cafe back in 2019 and later opened a farm shop on the site.
Bo'Grove Groceries subsequently opened on Commercial Street, Harrogate this year.
A report due before the licensing committee next week said North Yorkshire Police initially objected to the application, but later withdrew its concern after conditions for the licence were met.
Councillors on the committee will make a decision on June 8.
