Around 60 guests were treated to a very special treat this Mothers’ Day in the village of Keysoe, Bedfordshire, as two of the infamous ‘Cuddle Ponies’ joined the festivities.

Located in the beautiful Bedfordshire countryside, the Keysoe Café, situated in the middle of the Keysoe International equestrian centre just off the B660, hosted the special event.

Open to the public 7 days a week, the café comprises of inside and outside seating, with views of the centre’s main outdoor arena – where guests can regularly see athletes practicing their showjumps and dressage technique.

Also home to the Keysoe Cuddle Therapy Centre, their 10 adorable Cuddle Therapy Ponies regularly visit the café for free ‘Meet & Greet’ sessions to brighten up the most gloomy of days.

The sold-out Mother’s Day event took place on Sunday 19^th March between midday to 2pm, where mothers and their loved ones were spoiled with an array of freshly-made delicacies, prepared onsite by the resident chef. The site was beautifully decorated with fresh flowers and delicate teacups, adding to the quaint charm of the occasion.

Diners were greeted by two of the beautiful miniature horses – Dinky and Trinity – as they were guided to their seats. Following afternoon tea, Trinity returned for a personal visit, greeting each guest at their table for a fuss.
One of the guests commented on the Keysoe Café Facebook page – “Brilliant Mother’s Day Tea! Well done to Keysoe staff and chef – lovely event with Trinity as well!” 

“The Mothers’ Day event at the Keysoe Café was a huge success,” said Hospitality Business Development Manager, Laura Cook. “Not only were we packed with happy, satisfied customers, our resident chef – Jose Garcia – went above and beyond in creating a beautiful spread of classic afternoon tea delights, such as freshly baked scones, delicate finger sandwiches and an assortment of perfect pastries and cakes.”
