The May 6th Coronation is tempting royal fans and attracting overseas visitors who are fascinated by the Royals and the spectacle that will become part of British history. Pubs, hotels, and restaurants are now gearing up for this historic event arranging tea parties, street parties, and patriotic food and drinks offerings. The hospitality industry, still recovering after Covid, is counting on this cash infusion with a £120million boost for pubs predicted alone. When Elizabeth II was crowned in 1953, sales of curry powder to make coronation chicken dishes skyrocketed and the Platinum Jubilee last year brought in an extra 2.6million visitors to London alone. Charles’ Coronation is expected to have a similar effect.

In honour of this auspicious occasion the Coronation Quiche is declared the official dish of the celebrations, handpicked by King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla. The Royal Website describes this dish as ‘a deep quiche with a crisp, light pastry case with delicate flavours of spinach, broad beans & fresh tarragon’.

The unit features a heavy-duty motor with variable speeds, an interlocking quick release bowl guard and bowl lift.
