Royal Afternoon Tea
Come for a proper Afternoon tea at the Chestnut Square, a three-course event with unique teas at each course hosted by Tea n' Mystery. Includes exquisite tea sandwiches, scones, and dessert. The actor-inspired wait staff will treat you to "The Decadent Housewives of Hysteria Lane", a tea 'n mystery special event featuring a full service tea with a little mystery thrown in by the troupe.
Royal Tea Story
The Royal Chef Darren McGrady - After 15 years of royal service to Queen Elizabeth II of England and Diana, Princess of Wales. Darren is now a private chef in Dallas. In 1993 he became Private Chef to H.R.H. the Princess of Wales. For four years ( until the tragic accident in 1997) he took control of menus and private parties. Since the Princess's death, he has devoted much of his free time working for causes she supported, including shelters for battered women and charities for children. Chef McGrady will share royal stories and sample tea recipes.
Chestnut Square Historic Village
Chestnut Square Historic Village is a collection of six historic homes, a replica of a one-room school house, chapel and store on 2.5 acres just south of the downtown McKinney square. The grounds also include a blacksmith shop, smoke house, and beautiful chapel and reception gardens. The buildings include period artifacts showing how people lived in Collin County from 1854-1920.
Tea and Cheese – The Next Pairing
Cheese seems to be the biggest trend in the culinary world. Wine and cheese pairings have been popular, tea which also contains tannins, is the next movement. Lee Q. Garcia presents this new event.
