Catering students from Lakes College at Lillyhall are planning a dinner fit for a queen on June 15.

Students will mark the Queen’s diamond jubilee with a red, white and blue dinner based on two coronation menus.

The six-course meal will be served at The Wave Centre in Maryport.

It will begin with canapés, followed by coronation chicken or vegetarian brochettes.

Mock turtle consommé and baron of beef will also feature.. It will end with an equally royal iced pudding with strawberries and maids of honour.

There will also be a full vegetarian menu available.

The event has been organised following the success of the recent sold-out Titanic meal, which saw college students base a menu around food served to passengers on the doomed liner as part of its centenary commemorations.

The dinner was so popular that all tickets were sold within a couple of days. Due to demand a second Titanic dinner will be held next Friday.

Tickets for the jubilee dinner are £23, with £5 going to a charity, and are available from The Wave Centre on 01900 811450.
