Plan the perfect Jubilee bash with help from Her Majesty's party planner
Bunting, flags and jubilee trifles at the ready... the Queen is gearing up for a right royal knees-up to mark her 70 years on the throne – and we’re all behind her.
“Palace parties feature wonderful flowers and unbelievable candelabras, but the Queen is careful with how she spends her money,” says Johnny. “She hates waste and she loves to recycle.” “I like to place pots of parsley in the centre of the table so guests can help themselves and add finishing touches to their plates.”Serve a fizz combo for all Every guest should be given a flute of fizz on arrival – except the kids. And Johnny knows exactly how to make it extra-special. “Pop a raspberry and a sugar lump into the flute and top with sparkling wine,” he advises.
Go big on the cakes If you’ve gone to the effort of baking a few cakes, or taken advantage of your supermarket’s sweet offering – no one’s judging – you may as well show them off. Plan for fuss-free service A jubilee party is no sit-down meal. If you’re planning to invite the whole family, along with friends and neighbours, you need some simple finger food.“These celebrations are all about sharing,” Johnny reminds us. “Sit guests at a long table and let them dive into traybakes. For little ones – or big ones – serve up scotch eggs and snack sausage rolls.”
