Special thanks to Faith Cohick for coordinating and hosting this special birthday party in honor of Peter Rabbit. We look forward to welcoming Faith as our returning Guest Chef in June. The next themed tea (already sold out) is a "Passport to Africa". We can't wait to experience her creative interpretation for this event!

What a fun theme! SO many adorable bunnies to enjoy everywhere in the tearoom!
The printed menu was inviting and it looks like your guest chef did a lovely interpretation with the food.
I do love anything Beatrix Potter did and this tea time sounds like it fit perfectly into the theme.
