THIS WEEKEND, A LITTLE ROYAL WEDDING INSPIRATION WILL BE MAKING ITS WAY TO THE NORTH WEST. HERE’S WHERE YOU CAN ENJOY A RIGHT ROYAL CELEBRATION ON YOUR DOORSTEP WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT THE DRESS CODE! (HAT TIP TO OUR FRIENDS AT PINK MEDIA FOR WORKING HARD ON THIS ROUND-UP WHILE THE HIS & HERS TEAM HAS MAINLY BEEN DRINKING CUPPAS – THE PERFECT DIVISION OF LABOUR!)
Delifonseca
Delifonseca Dockside is preparing to celebrate the upcoming Royal Wedding with its delightful hamper offering.
Crafted for those planning to watch the wedding from the comfort of their own homes and gardens, the hamper will comprise a range of quintessentially British treats with an All-American twist. From celebratory English Fizz and Elderflower Liqueur to classic smoked salmon & cream cheese bagels, strawberry tarts and salted caramel banoffee pie, the offering will provide all the essential ingredients for the afternoon occasion.
General Manager of Delifonseca Dockside Lavinia Cooke said: “Royal Wedding fever has well and truly swept the nation and we know that come May 19, many of the Great British public will be glued to the TV as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle say ‘I do’. What better way to celebrate than by cracking open a bottle of fizz and whiling away the afternoon with some delicious delicacies?
“What’s more, those who’ve been lucky enough to be invited to the ‘real deal’ at Windsor Castle as part of the Royal Wedding celebrations have actually been advised to bring their own picnics along – it seems that DIY dining really is all the rage when it comes to royal nuptials!”
Delifonseca’s ‘Right Royal Hamper’ will be priced at £80 and serves four and can be purchased online at www.hampers.delifonseca.co.uk
