A historic event like a Coronation calls for grand celebrations, and what better way to celebrate than with a royal feast? Foodies and royal enthusiasts alike can look forward to indulging in sumptuous menus fit for a king this Coronation weekend – from traditional afternoon tea with a royal twist, to eco-conscious cocktails inspired by the King’s passion for sustainability. 
Here are the Coronation menus to try leading up to and during the King’s Coronation, so grab a seat (or throne) and get ready to feast like a king.

JW Marriott Grosvenor House London
JW Marriott Grosvenor House London has long been a favourite among royalty, hosting a celebratory Coronation Ball for King George VI in 1937, the Coronation Year Ladies’ Night for Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, Queen Charlotte’s debutante balls, and the Royal Caledonian Ball. From April 3rd , Grosvenor House will continue this rich royal legacy and honour His Majesty King Charles III’s historic Coronation by introducing an Afternoon Tea inspired by both king and kingdom.
Using the finest produce across the United Kingdom, the menu celebrates coming together as a nation and pays tribute to the King’s passion for provenance and Great British fare. Seated in the elegant surroundings of the Park Room, you’ll begin with Ridgeview English Sparkling Wine, originally served at King Charles’s first state Banquet, followed by five limited-edition pastries created to represent the countries that make up the United Kingdom and each region’s produce.
There’s ‘Journey to the Highlands’ – a mousse with organic honey extracted from foraged heather in the Scottish Highlands; ‘English Rose’ – a jelly and cream pudding using handpicked strawberries from Kent and natural rose extract from gardens in Berkshire; and ‘Across The Irish Sea’ – a traditional Irish apple cake with layers of chilled English custard and organic Bramley apple compote from the orchards of Armagh, Northern Ireland.
