Diamond Jubilee
The Queen celebrates 60 years as Monarch with the main celebrations taking place over the extended holiday between 2nd and the 5th June this year.
Only the second British monarch, after Queen Victoria in 1897, to celebrate a Diamond Jubilee -the year is seen as an opportunity to celebrate Her Majesty reign.
Apart from the 60 years of distinguished, unstinting and dedicated service, the Queen has also dined at some of the finest restaurants in the world, enjoying state banquets and sampling local delicacies across the globe.
If we go back to Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebratory dish it was rather surprisingly a French comfort dish called Bouef Braise that was served at the Royal Luncheon. Bouef Braise is usually Chuck Steak slow cooked with onions, bacon, tomato, laurel, thyme, garlic and carrots- sometimes with a generous sousing of Burgundy just to ensure the meal goes down well!
More recently Coronation Chicken has been more associated with Royal occasions.
Coronation Chicken was created by the florist Constance Spry and Rosemary Hume (founder of the Cordon Bleu school of cooking) for the Queens Coronation Banquet in 1953. Originally called “Poulet Reine Elizabeth” the dish was designed to be a compromise between exotic spices and inexpensive ingredients.
Whether you are catering for a street party, a family get together or a more formal Dinner party we have chosen a few suggestions as to which choice Cuts you might like to celebrate the Queens glorious and momentous achievements.
We have looked back at history for inspiration as well as giving a respectful bow in the direction of our country's Great British meat heritage .We start with a royal Crown of Lamb and then cover suggestions for every type of occasion from Balmoral Breakfasts through to Buckingham Palace Dinners where Beef Wellington is still a Palace favourite.
Everything can be delivered fresh direct to your door - or for collection from our Shop or Finsbury Park Unit.
