Kate and Pepe's Vintage Afternoon Tea

15/05/2022

Our first event of 2022 with Pepe. It was a honour to celebrate Gladys's 90th birthday with her friends and family.

16/10/2021

A&G's wedding should have been our opener in the 2020 season but due to that thing begining with C it was postponed and ended up being our season closer in 2021.

What a beautiful autumnal wedding to finish our wedding season yesterday, the sun made an appearance drenching the barn in warm golden light.
We've had the busiest year ever this year, hence the not many posts from us, but it's been wonderful to get out there again and do what we do helping so many people celebrate events. ❤
Now for a well earned rest!

What a wonderful wedding on Friday for Chloe and Justin. Great to be back with !

12/07/2021

And we are fully back doing what we do! Sorry for the recent social silence but we are SOOOO happy to be back serving our afternoon teas and ice cream. Over the last 3 weeks we've served ice cream for David and Meghan's wedding, Sally celebrated her 50th with her family and our Lux afternoon tea and last weekend we had Pepe 'OUT OUT' at Abi's hen party.
Looking forward to a very busy summer!

Set up for coffee and Easter bakes for refreshments as you walk from Wimpole Hall to Orwell.

Morning 😀
Pepe is having to have some mechanical work done, in readiness for booked weddings once we're permitted, so unfortunately they'll be no coffee/bakes from the drive tomorrow. As such that is the end of our 'testing', as we were always planning on stopping once the The Greenman can open after the 12th April.

Kate is still doing sausage rolls for The Greenman, any special baking orders, picnics and afternoon teas so please ask 😀.

Thanks to all who supported us.
Cheers Kate and Justin, and of course Pepe the van

Happy Mothers Day. My sister and me lost our mum in March 2018 and though we have lots of colour photographs of her as our mum we only have black and white photos of when she was young. My nephew has coloured this lovely photo from when she was about 18❤.

So goodbye 2020, what a strange year you were for us !
- all our booked weddings were postponed and then cancelled in 2020
- we attended no wedding fairs
- we saw no music bands, went to any events planned or took a holiday
On the positive side I've found resilience and strength not just in myself but with all our couples, suppliers and friends.
- we've accommodated every postponed wedding to 2021, nothing short of a miracle!
- I've loved the welcomes and surprises delivering my doorstop afternoon teas
- supporting our village pub with my homemade sausage rolls (I don't think I've made so many in my life 🤣) so they can keep trading with their excellent takeaway service.
Thank you to everyone of our customers 😘
2021 please don't throw as many curve balls as last year!🍾
