As covered in the Harrogate Advertiser last August, the cafe was forced to do expensive repairs at almost exactly the same time last year - though this popular business always carries on serving customers.

It's not unusual to hear reports every now and then of early morning dog walkers coming across discarded drug and alcohol-related mess in Valley Gardens.

There are CCTV cameras near the cafe and both the police and Harrogate Borough Council usually attempt to take action.
