A pub chain will be giving out free cakes to Suffolk residents who visit the venue wearing a crown to celebrate the King’s Coronation. 

Farmhouse Inns across the country, including the pub on 3 Donald Mackintosh Way in Pinewood, will provide customers with a complimentary slice of cake during the bank holiday weekend, between Saturday, May 6 and May 8. 

To get their hands on the limited-edition cake, customers have to visit their local Farmhouse Inns wearing a crown or tiara – in celebration of the momentous occasion – and say the phrase "a royal slice" when ordering a cake at the till.

In return for their efforts, lucky recipients will receive a slice of raspberry and lemonade cake, crafted in-house by Farmhouse Inns’ talented ‘cake-a-tiers’. 

To mark the historic weekend, Farmhouse Inn is also launching an online competition to crown a customer the ‘King or Queen of carvery or cake’ – with a £2,000 prize going to one lucky winner.
