On Saturday, 6 May 2023, this royal event will make history as the first British Coronation in more than 70 years. Whether you\u2019re heading to a Coronation party in the UK or across the pond, there\u2019s going to be plenty of festivities this weekend. But if you\u2019re planning on throwing your own Coronation party, there\u2019s a few essentials to include. From classic British food and drinks to the perfect playlist and game ideas, here\u2019s everything you need to host a memorable bash in honor of King Charles III&#8217;s Coronation, wherever you are in the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-food\">Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s only appropriate to eat like a King at a Coronation party. And what better way to do it than with some traditional English food? Set the tone for the occasion with a quintessential English afternoon tea. You can serve classic scones with clotted cream and jam and finger sandwiches with traditional fillings such as cucumber, egg and cress, smoked salmon, and coronation chicken. Bite-size sausage rolls, quiche, scotch eggs or small pork pies are always a hit. You could even create a platter with crusty bread, cheese, pickles, and cold cuts, inspired by the traditional British Ploughman&#8217;s lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/queens-platinum-pudding-set-to-be-britains-guilty-pleasure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">News alert!
