Scarborough NAAFI Cafe Set to Reopen

Friday, 21 July 2023 at 06:00

By Anttoni James Numminen, Local Democracy Reporter

Scarborough’s NAAFI Café has applied to North Yorkshire Council for a pavement licence ahead of a planned reopening later this month.

The Scarborough branch of the NAAFI (Navy, Army, and Air Force Institutes) café is applying for permission to serve food and drinks outside its premises.

The application is seeking permission from North Yorkshire Council for a pavement licence for the café in Scarborough town centre.

The café, which is located at 64 and 64A Newborough, would place four tables and 16 chairs on the pavement if the licence is granted.

The branch’s opening hours would be from 8am to 5pm, seven days a week.

In addition to metal chairs and round tables, the café would also place barriers surrounding the chairs constructed of metal posts with fabric or vinyl banners in between.

The NAAFI is the Ministry of Defence’s in-house provider of catering, retail, and leisure services and facilities and has other branches including at Catterick Garrison in North Yorkshire, as well as Whiteley, Lancaster, and Gibraltar.

Currently, the café is closed for renovation but is due to open at the end of July.

The branch’s website states:

“We are currently transforming into our next NAAFI Café and will be re-opening on July 27!

“We can’t wait to welcome you to our brand new NAAFI Café.”

The application is currently open to representations from members of the public until Monday, July 24.

Those wishing to make their views known on the application for the pavement licence can contact North Yorkshire Licensing Services in writing at Scarborough Town Hall or can email licensingservices.sca@northyorks.gov.uk.
