If you need some menu inspiration for the Jubilee weekend, and want to feed your friends and family some true British delicacies, then the chefs at Loveday & Co, London’s only private Members club for seniors, have already done the hard work for you.
They competed in Loveday’s ‘Great Platinum Jubilee Menu’, where they all prepared a dish fit for the Queen. Some of the dishes were based on the Queen’s original coronation menu including an asparagus starter, dover sole fish course and a strawberry dessert.
Oliver Peyton OBE, celebrity restaurateur and judge on The Great British Menu, visited Loveday Kensington on 26th May 2022 to enjoy this very special menu to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. He was joined by Loveday’s Chairman Laurence Geller CBE, who originally trained as a chef, and Loveday’s Group Executive Chef Matthew Dodge.
The winning dishes will be served to Members at Loveday Residences on Sunday 5th June, where family and friends will join their loved ones to dine on this regal feast.
Lillibet’s Asparagus Crown
by Sam Nurse – Head Chef, Loveday Kensington
Asparagus is perfectly British and in season this time of year. Lilibet was the nickname given to Elizabeth II by her father and then later used by her close family. This dish is sure to take crowning glory at any event!
Delices de Soles Elizabeth
by Adriano Carvalho – Head Chef, Loveday Notting Hill
Described by chefs and fishmongers as the ‘Royalty of the sea’, Delices de Soles is also known as one of the Queen’s favourite dishes.
Jubilee Beef Wellington
by Alex Morte – Head Chef, Loveday Chelsea Court Place
Thought to be named in homage to the Duke of Wellington, who led the British Army to victory during the famous Battle of Waterloo, Beef Wellington has become a luxury staple at celebratory banquets.
Royal Strawberries & Queen
by Patrick Strickler – Sous Chef, Loveday Kensington
Summoning thoughts of Wimbledon, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and the Royal Ascot, strawberries are surely a winning favourite at any British summertime event!
