GUESTS including the Mayor of Winchester, Cllr Richard Izard and city MP Steve Brine celebrated the first birthday of the Peninsula Café.
The venue at Peninsula Barracks – the former army base in central Winchester – opened 12 months ago.
At first it was called The Falling Plates Café, but that led to the caterers ending up in hot water.
They named it after the targets on a military firing range. however, it later emerged that it was also a term associated with heavy casualties suffered in Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan.
after former soldiers in the Royal Green Jackets regiment complained, the title was switched to the Peninsula Café.
Annette Bergen from the venue said: “We have since gone from strength to strength and continue to provide an excellent café experience to local businesses, residents and visitors alike.”
The celebration at the venue, which is next to the city’s military museums, was held on Wednesday, April 13.
