This Saturday marks the Coronation of His Majesty The King, and people across the country will be coming together to celebrate the historic occasion.
Whether you intend on spending the day out and about with friends and family or cosy at home on the sofa, food will need to come into the equation at one point (or several).
We have pulled together a list of places with special offers and menu items available this weekend so those of you based in Inverness can celebrate the King’s Coronation in style.
La Tortilla Asesina
From noon to 1pm on Saturday, foodies have the opportunity to tuck into curried chicken and rice paella from La Tortilla Asesina for just £5.
Cooked under the restaurant’s outdoor gazebo, you can choose to take your paella away or enjoy it at the premises. You’ll even be treated to a side of mayo sauce too.
