Nothing says “70 years on the throne” quite like “Salad Queen” and “LamQueenie”, among countless other jubilee specials that have emerged to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s long reign – the longest of any British monarch.
With the Queen’s big platinum jubilee weekend drawing ever closer, brands have released a plethora of royal-themed food and drink products to mark Her Majesty’s historic milestone.
Most of the themed items are limited edition and available only up to or during the special bank holiday weekend, which takes place from Thursday 2 June to Sunday 5 June.
We’ve rounded up all the jubilee-themed food and drink you can feast on as you raise a glass to the Queen:
Heinz Salad Queen and HM Sauce
Heinz’s jubilee offering was the first out of the gate, as it announced a royal makeover of two of its most popular condiments in April.
HP Sauce and Salad Cream, which are high on the list of Britain’s favourite sauces, are now available in limited-edition bottles labelled “HM Sauce” and “Heinz Salad Queen” to honour the monarch’s 70th year on the throne.
The noble sauces have been on sale in supermarkets since April, so there is still time to grab them for your Big Jubilee Lunch.
KFC Coronation Chicken Tower Burger
KFC has announced the launch of a new Coronation Chicken Tower Burger to commemorate the platinum jubilee.
The new offering is available for just one week, from 30 May to 5 June exclusively in 11 KFC stores, located in Belfast, Edinburgh, Kingston, Maidenhead, Newton Abbot, Cardiff, Sheffield, South Kensington, Tunbridge Wells, Birmingham, and Windsor.
The fried chicken chain has also teamed up with Deliveroo to give some lucky customers in the royal boroughs of Windsor and Kensington the chance to win a free Coronation Chicken Tower Burger that will be delivered via a “Coronation Convoy”.
This will see the burger delivered by a convoy of a Range Rover, Land Rover and Deliveroo riders who will serve it on a velvet red and teal pillow, KFC has said.
The Coronation Chicken Tower Burger will cost £5.49 in-store and £6.99 on Deliveroo.
Morrisons Corgi Cake
As her favourite dog breed, corgis are synonymous with the Queen. It’s no surprise then that any celebrations surrounding Her Majesty would also include her beloved pets.
To reflect this, Morrisons has launched a corgi cake inspired by the monarch’s short-legged pooches to celebrate the platinum jubilee.
The chocolate-covered swiss roll, decorated with red, blue and white sprinkles and a cute corgi face made of chocolate, has been nicknamed Clarence by Morrisons customers.
Clarence the corgi cake is now available in Morrisons stores across the UK. It serves 12 people and costs £6.
Franco Manca
Sourdough pizza chain Franco Manca is joining in on the jubilee fun by adding three special pizzas to its menu, which will only be available to order from Thursday 2 June to Sunday 5 June.
The pizzeria is also offering a free glass of prosecco to any customer who orders one of their jubilee special pizzas for every day of the extended bank holiday weekend.
The limited edition pizzas include a Jubilee Meat Special that includes free range Yorkshire fennel sausage, mushrooms, mozzarella, stilton and a spiced butternut squash base; a Jubilee Veg Special with tomatoes, caramelised red onions, mushrooms, mozzarella and seasonal pesto; and a Jubilee Vegan Special topped with roasted potatoes with onions, tomato, black olives, red onions, vegan cheese, capers and fresh mint.
