The lucky recipients will then receive a slice of raspberry and lemonade cake which has been crafted in-house by Farmhouse Inns’ talented ‘cake-a-tiers’. 

Holly Brooks, senior marketing manager at Farmhouse Inns, said: “We’re incredibly excited to mark the once-in-a-lifetime occasion of a royal coronation in our own unique, Farmhouse Inns way – by serving up a free slice of our limited edition, sweet and zingy raspberry and lemonade cake to our wonderful customers across the bank holiday weekend. 

“To grab a complimentary slice, homemade by our amazing in-house ‘cake-a-tiers’, you’ll need to get into the spirit of the occasion by donning a crown or tiara – just like the King and Queen Consort – and say the words ‘a royal slice’ when ordering.”
