49 Coronation party recipes to try
It seems as though everyone in England is planning on either hosting or attending some sort of celebration for the upcoming coronation of King Charles III on 6th May.
I've compiled this collection of recipes suitable for a coronation celebration party and I think it includes something for every taste.
Whether it's a family barbeque, a street party, a picnic or just a small gathering of friends and family, I hope this collection of coronation recipes will offer some inspiration on the planning front. I've tried to include only those recipes that can be eaten buffet-style because no one wants to face mountains of washing up when the guests have gone. It's paper plates and disposable plastic cutlery all the way!
There are 49 recipes in this collection of sweet and savoury treats, varying from sausage rolls and quiches to creamy tarts and slices that are all perfect for either making in advance or taking along with you. Most of these recipes can be served either hot or cold, making them the perfect coronation party food.
Pies and quiches
Who doesn't love a slice of pie or quiche with a delicious savoury filling? I know I do!
I've put this section first because the official coronation recipe is actually a quiche, filled with spinach, broad beans and tarragon. If you want to try the official coronation quiche recipe, I've added a link for you. But if that's not quite what you are looking for you might like to try one of my quiche recipes instead 🙂 .
