Apparently all that's left are the walls.

Yes I just read about it. What a nightmare :-(
It'll be rebuilt I expect, and hopefully they will have something running by easter even if its just a fleet of burger vans.
The ride is too good not too.

This afternoon! Check it out on google.

Oh no! Terrible news. 😱 Thankfully no one hurt.

We got duplicate posts on this one.
Terrible news, looks like it may take a while to sort that one out.
Thankful that no-one was hurt (or worse).

Panuno that link led to a security warning not to proceed. Do you have another?

The link is fine Sandi, its the local newspaper up there. I copied it from FB where it clicks through just fine without a warning.
The reason is that the web address starts with http: instead of https:, and every browser seems to think that you need an encrypted connection (the 'S' bit) to look at any website these days, and if you don't have one it throws up a warning.

Apparently, customers are fund raising;

They are hoping to raise £5,000 target towards the cafe’s refurbishment.

That's all well intentioned, but really is utter bollox.
The cafe is a commercial venture and will be insured for the owners to rebuild.
The best support you can give is to go there and spend money once they reopen on a regular basis.

😯 say no more!
