The King in the Castle, which has been decorated with bunting, balloons and hanging floral displays, is offering a Coronation-themed menu for punters.
The menu includes a royal twist on British favourites including a Royal High Tea, Coronation King Prawn sandwich and a plant-based Prince’s Crust pie.
Tesco will also donate £250,000 from proceeds of its limited-edition coronation food range, available in stores nationwide, to The Prince’s Trust.
Chief customer officer Alessandra Bellini said: “The Coronation is a historic moment and we want to help our customers celebrate it.
“As one of the most enduring parts of British culture, pubs have traditionally been an important part of local communities and so a pub felt like the perfect way to bring people together to mark this special occasion and enjoy delicious food.”
