All you need to know about everything that matters.

When it comes to royal celebrations, there’s nothing with greater heritage than coronation chicken. Originally created in 1953 for the Queen’s coronation, it was believed to be inspired by jubilee chicken created for George V’s silver jubilee in 1935. Opies has cleverly blended this heritage recipe with a party favourite – a mini pie.

Mr Organic’s vegan-friendly bakes can offer something for everyone to enjoy over the long weekend. This savoury tomato tart is ideal for afternoon tea celebrations.

British cheese and chutney maker Snowdonia Cheese Company has created a tasty platter to serve on the jubilee weekend. Designed as a Union Flag, this impressive cheeseboard includes Bouncing Berry, Truffle Trove and Rock Star – it’s a colourful and delicious celebration of all things British.

These jubilee cupcakes are great fun to make with all the family and add a suitably royal presence to the afternoon tea table. Made with a rich red chocolate sponge, then topped with Bonne Maman Strawberry or Wild Blueberry Conserve, a generous swirl of vanilla cream frosting and some edible, sparkling flower mini crowns.

This fruit platter from Morrisons’s jubilee recipe range will make a healthy and colourful centrepiece for your street party table. Other recipes from Morrisons include a Jubilee Bakewell, Ma’am’s Coronation Cheese on Toast, Strawberries & Cornish Ice Cream Scone Sandwich, and Jubilee Mess. 

This fantastic traybake recipe from the Easy Peasy Baking campaign, launched by UK Flour Millers, is perfect for a street party. 

Makes a 20 x 30 cm traybake – 15 bars

Campari has crafted a special edition serve in celebration of Queen Elizabeth’s 70 years on the throne. The Platinum Jubilee Negroni combines the quintessential Campari and gin with the twist of Dubonnet, known to be the Queen’s favourite tipple – in place of the usual sweet vermouth. 

Pour the Campari, gin and Dubonnet into the glass with ice, stir, add the garnishes, and enjoy. 

If you’re not in the mood for baking, but want some sweet options for a royal-themed street party, then this “Clarence the corgi” cake from Morrisons’s jubilee range may just be a fitting addition. This chocolate covered swiss roll – which has a sweet edible face and boots and is decorated with red, blue and white sprinkles – costs £6 and is available in stores nationwide from 21 May. 

The Hummingbird Bakery have given its much loved classics a jubilee makeover with pieces of hand cut fondant in the shape of a crown with hand piped detailing or the iconic and instantly recognisable silhouette of Her Majesty’s profile. The range includes a Red Velvet Jubilee Cake, Jubilee Cupcakes, and “Crownies”, an indulgent frosted brownie decorated with a fondant crown. 

Patisserie Valerie’s regal purple and gold creation is topped with its very own crown. Enrobed in a rich, royal purple icing and featuring layers of vanilla sponge, berry cream, fresh cream and mixed berry filling, all coated with Swiss meringue buttercream, the Jubilee Cake (£44.95) comes decorated with gold flecks, golden sprinkles, vanilla macarons and a miniature gold crown for a stunning centrepiece. Available in store and online from 20 May to 12 June. 

Gail’s Bakery has launched a delicious Picnic on the Green hamper just in time for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The hamper features everything you need for a quintessentially British picnic, all packaged in a handy Gail’s branded tote bag. The Picnic on the Green hamper (£57) includes beetroot salad, summer greens salad, olive sourdough, baguette, Quicke's Whey Butter, CB Salami, Quicke’s cheddar, bag of Madeleines, four Wildpress and four Borekitas. 

La Fromagerie is pulling out all the stops with a regal jubilee “cake” showcasing a variety of outstanding British cheeses. Ideal for sharing, and enjoyed with artisanal beers and ciders, the impressive centrepiece will feature five La Fromagerie cheeses including an Old Roan, Cote Hill Blue, Wigmore, Yarlington and a Sinodun Hill beautifully presented as an “open” cake. The indulgent tower comes complete with tasting notes and straw mats making it super simple to assemble. 

Devon-based cider maker Sandford Orchards has launched a new Jubilee Limited Edition Devon Red Cider. A celebration of all things British, it’s available now in 500ml bottles from the Sandford Orchards website, retail outlets including Morrisons, Spar and Aldi as well as selected pubs and hospitality venues.

If you’re looking for a tipple to toast the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Wye Forest-based Wildjac Homegrown Distillery has crafted a small batch limited edition gin. It is distilled with fresh English rhubarb from Augernik fruit farm – located just eight miles from Wildjac’s distillery – alongside carefully selected fresh botanicals including homegrown and foraged thyme and rosemary. Offering a fresh and fruity flavour with decadent juniper notes, each sip of Jubilee Gin is rounded off with the beautiful taste of zesty citrus and thyme.
