The Coronation Big Lunch is a community event aimed at bringing neighbors together to celebrate the coronation and share friendship, food, and fun. According to their official website, “Her Majesty The Queen Consort has been Patron of the initiative since 2013 and has attended Big Lunches all across the UK and the world, including in Ghana and Barbados.” Last year, the Queen Consort hosted a special Big Lunch at The Oval cricket ground to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.

The signature dish for Queen Elizabeth’s 1953 coronation was poulet reine Elizabeth, also known as coronation chicken. The coronation quiche, a savory dish, is based on that classic recipe. The Royal Family has described the dish as “easily adapted to different tastes and preferences,” featuring spinach, broad beans, cheese, and tarragon. The dish has been promoted as a great way to get involved with the Coronation Big Lunch.
