Peter Pan Ain't Coming Back

Peter Rukavina

Even though in the years since I last wrote about it, I’ve become a vegetarian, I’d always entertained hopes that the much-vaunted Peter Pan restaurant, on the Peter Pan corner, would be resurrected.

But, with the news that it’s fallen to the wrecker’s ball, those hopes are dashed.

Catherine and I enjoyed a lot of Peter Pan Burger Baskets and milkshakes in that parking lot over the years.

Here’s the ad in The Guardian from from June 26, 1958 announcing the Grand Opening:

Lovely ad, and love the rules! So sad to see this beautiful little building go. Would love to know what else Frank Sherwood Ltd. designed.
