A cocktail bar, a restaurant and a Christmas shop – the traders planning to move into Mulberry Hall

Three separate businesses want a piece of the former Mulberry Hall shop on Stonegate.

A cocktail bar, a restaurant and a Christmas shop from Germany have submitted plans to move into the 15th century timber-framed building.

Mulberry Hall sold china and glassware on Stonegate for 60 years, but closed for good last month.

Now three businesses have applied to City of York Council for either planning permission or alcohol licenses for businesses at this plum location on York’s most prestigious shopping street.

The Botanist is a chain of bars, and it wants to create a York venue on 15-19 Stonegate.

Gusto Restaurants is part of the same group which operates The Botanist, and plans to move in to 2-4 Little Stonegate.

And connected with neither, Käthe Wohlfahrt is a German gift store, and is “the market leader in the area of traditional German Christmas items” – and it has submitted plans for 17-19 Stonegate.
