Bumble Crumble in Darlington now repossessed as signs go up

A notice has been stuck onto the door which makes it clear 'no one can lawfully enter the premises' without the landlord's permission.

The eatery first opened in June 2023 and rapidly became a hit in the town for being a tearoom with a twist.

The cafe had been set for a re-brand and re-opening in January 2024 but there has been no further news.

Now the property has been officially emptied and re-entered by the landlord.

The notice reads: "TAKE NOTICE that the Landlord has today re-entered Units 4 & 5 West Row at Darlington Covered Market, Darlington, DL1 5PL in accordance with the Landlord's power under clause 5.1 of the Lease. 

"As a consequence of the re-entry , the Lease is forfeited and the premises have been secured.

"AND TAKE NOTICE that no one can lawfully enter the premises unless they have been given authorised by the Landlord.

"Any attempt to enter the premises without the Landlord's authority may be a criminal offense and result in prosecution.
