Mustafa Abdulali and Neil Dingley of Moore Recovery Limited were appointed joint liquidators to Cafes in the Park Ltd on 22 May 2026, the same day the company's members passed resolutions to wind it up voluntarily.
The company is registered at The Bungalow, Paynes Farm Nursery, Paynes Lane, Nazeing, Essex, and operated as a licensed restaurant business under SIC code 56101. Its most recent accounts were made up to 30 September 2025.
The resolution
On 22 May 2026, members passed two resolutions at the same sitting. The first, a special resolution, was that the company be wound up voluntarily. The second, an ordinary resolution, named Abdulali and Dingley of Moore Recovery Limited as joint liquidators for the purpose of the winding up. A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order.
The resolutions were signed off by David Brian Elton in his capacity as director.
The liquidator appointment
Abdulali holds IP number 7837 and Dingley holds IP number 9210. An IP number is the licence number issued by an insolvency practitioner's recognised professional body. Both practise from Moore Recovery Limited's office at First Floor Suite 4 Alexander House, Waters Edge Business Park, Campbell Road, Stoke-on-Trent, ST4 4DB. The appointment was made by both members and creditors. Either liquidator may act alone or jointly, according to the notice.

Common questions
Are you owed money by Cafes in the Park Limited.?
In a creditors' voluntary liquidation you are an unsecured creditor unless you hold a registered charge or retention of title. The liquidators will write to known creditors with a proof-of-debt form. A statement of affairs prepared by the directors and the chair of the creditors' decision procedure should be available on request. Read more about proof of debt and where you sit in the creditor hierarchy.
Did you work at Cafes in the Park Limited.?
In a CVL, employees are typically dismissed at or shortly after the liquidator's appointment. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The liquidators will normally provide RP1 case-reference numbers to the affected staff. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Cafes in the Park Limited.?
Customers with paid-but-undelivered orders, gift cards or deposits rank as unsecured creditors in the liquidation. Where you paid by credit card and the amount was over £100, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 may let you claim from the card issuer for breach of contract or misrepresentation by the supplier; the rules apply per item, not per transaction, and the card must be a regulated credit card. Debit-card payments may be recoverable via chargeback.
Are you a director of a company connected to Cafes in the Park Limited.?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the company enters liquidation. If you intend to be involved in another company using the same or a similar name within five years, you must rely on one of the three statutory exceptions and file the relevant notice. Acting in breach is a criminal offence and exposes you to personal liability for the successor's debts.
