Fans of the Great British Bake Off can spend a fun-filled afternoon with a previous winner at a festive family feast at the Bonnie Badger.
Scot Peter Sawkins, who won in 2020, is heading to The Bonnie Badger in Gullane on Friday, December 9, to host a special Festive Afternoon Tea.
In a celebration of the Great British Bake-Off Winner’s newly released second book, ‘Peter’s Baking Party’, Sawkins will return to The Bonnie Badger, following a sell-out event in April 2022.

The Bonnie Badger team say that the foodie star will bring a collection of fun and tasty recipes, full of festive flavour, to the limited-edition afternoon tea, uniquely designed to inspire budding baking stars and bring to life the joy of baking.
Reuniting with Head Pastry Chef Silvia Santos and her team at The Bonnie Badger, Peter will step into the kitchen to closely collaborate on a Christmas celebration.
The afternoon tea will take a decidedly festive twist, allowing friends and families to gather together and sample some seasonal savoury and sweet bakes.
Served in the Garden Room, guests will join Peter in a relaxed afternoon tea to celebrate his baking success and hear about the inspiration behind his new book, as he shares stories of his own baking journey, alongside helpful hints to inspire budding bakers of all ages.
The afternoon tea will be served at 2.00 pm and 4.30 pm and reservations at each sitting will be limited.
The menu will include an extensive choice of loose-leaf teas, infusions, or coffees alongside a seasonal collection of savoury and sweet surprises inspired by Sawkins’ book, all prepared with passion by Peter and The Bonnie Badger team.
Speaking about the Festive Afternoon Tea, chef-owner of The Bonnie Badger, Tom Kitchin said: “I really admire the philosophy of Peter’s new book in encouraging young people to get into the kitchen and build their confidence, skills and interest in baking.
"With lots of fantastic recipes, we’re looking forward to giving our guests a flavour of Peter’s new book and indeed sharing our collective, and deep-rooted passion for cooking and baking for all ages.”
Peter added: “I love baking and have been baking for as long as I can remember. My new book is all about sharing that excitement with other people and encouraging them to get into the kitchen.
" I still get a real buzz from baking so I’m looking forward to stepping into the kitchen at The Bonnie Badger and having a chance to share some of my favourite festive afternoon tea recipes with guests this season.”
Guests will also have the chance to purchase a signed copy of ‘Peter’s Baking Party’ (£20) on the day, supplied by independent bookshop, Night Owl Books from East Linton.
Reservations for the event are priced at:
