Downton Abbey Premier Watching Party

We all have that one friend who hosts the most amazing parties. I love the ones thrown by my friend J. In honor of the season two premier, she put together a fabulous party, bunting and all, with a thoughtful menu.
 Even the wine bottles got dressed up in costume for the 1920s.
I love penguins.
Who knew they made snowglobe wine stoppers? J did, of course.
 Platter of all British Cheeses with Union Jack labels of course. 
 Arugula salad with roasted beets, orange slices and pistachios.
 Bubble and Squeak Patties.
 Garlic-Rosemary Roast Beef
 J had been worried it was overcooked, but it was absolutely perfect.
 Vegetable Pot Pie with a Cheese Pastry Crust.
 Even the cocktail napkins stayed true to the theme.
Eton Mess. Which is just British for delicious. Kind of looks likes strawberry compote on snow.
