Are fondant fancies passé? Can you make a vegan scotch egg? Does anyone actually like cucumber sandwiches? The announcement that anyone can organise a street party over the Queen’s Jubilee long weekend (2-5 June) has sparked as much debate as excitement, as neighbours start planning menus.
It’s been ten years since the Queen’s last Jubilee (Diamond in 2012) and a lot has changed in Britain’s culinary scene since then. Follow our lowdown to ensure your street party spread is the talk of the block.
Scottish smorgasbord
The Queen has a soft spot for Scotland (Balmoral is her favourite of all her castles). The country is famous for its top notch fish – so what better way to celebrate than with a smorgasbord of seafood delights?
The Fish Society has an incredible array of super fresh options that would fit right in on a sharing platter – including potted shrimp, salmon gravadlax, breaded crab claws, hot smoked mackerel, salmon arancini, salt cod croquettes, smoked scallops, smoked haddock wellingtons.
