As Britain and the world get ready for a monumental weekend filled with pomp and pageantry, we're stocking up on snacks.

The coronation ceremony, which will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, will officially crown King Charles III alongside the Queen Consort, Camilla. It will take place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6.

Revelers across the U.K. will flood the streets of London, and undoubtedly head to the pub thereafter for some good British grub. If a concert is more your style than a coronation ceremony, get your British snacks ready for Sunday night's  Coronation Concert, a show headlined by Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, Andrea Bocelli, Take That, and others.


For those looking to commemorate the event with classic British foods here in metro Phoenix, here are five restaurants and cafes perfect for marking the occasion.



As tradition goes, each coronation day includes a special coronation dish. This year, the official dish is a coronation quiche nicknamed as "Quiche Le Reign," after the famous French Quiche Lorraine. The classic, yet admittedly quite boring dish, quickly garnered online mockery. But the last go around, at the coronation of the late Queen Elizabeth II, the occasion was marked with Coronation Chicken. This typically cold, curried chicken salad can be served in sandwiches, atop salads, or on its own. In metro Phoenix, Copper Star Coffee makes a curried chicken wrap that comes surprisingly close to the crowned classic, complete with golden raisins for a burst of sweetness that cut through the savory curry.

The Great Gadsby Bakery

1030 S. Gilbert Road, #101, Gilbert

For Brits who miss home, the Great Gadsby Bakery in Gilbert is a little slice of heaven. Walk in on a weekday and the buttery aroma of freshly baked sausage rolls welcomes you, solidifying your lunch order. A pastry case brimming with British treats patiently waits as you pick your selection. We never come away with less than a full box of pastries, mix-and-matching mini bakewell tarts sweet with raspberry jam and frangipane, sticky toffee pudding cupcakes, mini banoffee pies and heafty chunks of Millionaire's Shortbread. The Great Gadsby is popular and can sell out, so we recommend stocking up early.
