Platinum pudding for Queen’s jubilee to follow 1953’s coronation chicken

Fortnum & Mason's judges include Mary Berry and event will form part of celebrations for 70-year reign

Fortnum & Mason is launching a competition to find a dish celebrating the Queen's 70 years on the throne, marking the beginning of official jubilee festivities.

Much like Poulet Reine Elizabeth, more commonly known as coronation chicken, invented by Le Cordon Bleu London for the Queen's coronation banquet in 1953, it is hoped the Platinum Pudding competition will serve as a long-lasting reminder of the 95 year-old monarch's reign.
