Iceland has launched a new street party food range ready for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee this summer, and there’s some absolute bargains.
With Queen Elizabeth II set to mark her Platinum Jubilee from Thursday 2 June to Sunday 5 June 2022, making her the first ever British monarch to reach this milestone, and with the UK to get an extra bank holiday to celebrate, the frozen food retailer has partnered with The Big Jubilee Lunch to launch a huge new food range that’ll cater for the anticipated celebrations up and down the country.
The Platinum Jubilee celebrates the Queen’s Elizabeth’s 70 years on the throne, and a remarkable seven decades of service to the British people.
She acceded to the throne in 1952 at age 25.
No matter the scale of celebrations you’re planning for the extended weekend – whether it be a just a friendly cuppa with the neighbour, or the UK’s longest street party – Iceland has said it plans to have all “communities covered” with a selection of tasty treats for the party table and a range of offers to make the most of.

The Big Jubilee Lunch Value Range also means that shoppers “won’t need to break the bank to celebrate like a royal” as there’s plenty of buffet food stapes included, such as pizzas, crisps, sweets, ice creams and ice lollies, soft drinks, and even street party decorations like bunting and table cloths – all starting from just £1 each.
To finish things off on a sweeter note, the Jubilee dessert range is made up of some absolute classics, such as Victoria Sponge (£2), Jubilee Macarons (£3), Celebration Carrot Cake (£2), Chocolate Gateau (£2), and Raspberry Cheesecake (£1).

The Big Lunch – which is ran by the charity Eden Project – is an annual get together that connects people that encourages friendlier, safer neighbourhoods where people start to share more, from conversations and ideas, to skills and resources, and, for some, it ignites a passion for doing more good things where they live.
Iceland is in its second year supporting The Big Lunch, and this year is “dedicated” to encouraging 1,000 of its stores to support chosen charity Action for Children and host Big Lunches as fundraisers.

Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores
Emily Sergeant
Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.
After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.
All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.
Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.
Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.
Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.
“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?
In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.
We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.
The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.
But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.
On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.
“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.
“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
