Peter Rabbit
.
Penguin Ventures developed the afternoon tea concept in collaboration with Le Meridien Piccadilly Hotel on behalf of Beatrix Potter’s original publisher Frederick Warne & Co.
The afternoon tea will allow families to enjoy stories with tasty treats including chamomile chocolate pots and vegetable patch sandwiches. Children can enjoy a “kids only” check-in and will receive
Peter Rabbit
goodies including a purse, drawstring bag and a bespoke Le Méridien Piccadilly
Peter Rabbit
book. They will also be able to take part in a dedicated
Peter Rabbit
trail through the hotel.
A group of influencers were the first to taste the
Peter Rabbit
Afternoon Tea menu at the
Peter Rabbit
Springtime Celebration, during which guests enjoyed dressing up and face-painting activities. The menu includes Mr. McGregor’s Garden wrapping vegetable and the Caught In A Twist smoked salmon and sun-dried tomato pinwheel. Pastries include the
Peter Rabbit.
The tea is served in the airy Terrace On Piccadilly that boasts a Victorian glass atrium with floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony that overlooks Piccadilly.
“It has been a pleasure to work in partnership with Le Méridien Piccadilly, and the team there have created an absolutely beautiful and delicious offering,” says Izzy Richardson, head of brand, Penguin Ventures. “The
Peter Rabbit
Afternoon Tea is so clearly inspired by Beatrix Potter’s best-loved Tale–guests are in for a real treat.”
“Creating a dedicated Afternoon Tea in celebration of the iconic British classic tale of
Peter Rabbit
seemed like a perfect fit for our family guests,” says James Olivier, general manager, Le Méridien Piccadilly. “As the story is so rich in adventure and color, our expert pastry team could really have fun with creating a nostalgic experience for the whole family to enjoy.”
The
Peter Rabbit
Afternoon Tea launched this month and will run for six months.
