By GlobalDataSweet treats, snacks and nibbles will also be served to guests. The evening menu items at the pub will include a range of starters, mains and desserts.
Beers on tap, wines, spirits and cocktails will also be available.
The proceeds from the pub will go to The Prince’s Trust to support young people in the UK in building up their skills. The Trust was established by the King in his former role as the Prince of Wales.
Tesco chief customer officer Alessandra Bellini said: “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.
“What’s more, we’ll donate £250,000 from the proceeds of sales of our limited-edition Coronation range in-store, along with all proceeds from the pub to The Prince’s Trust so we can all enjoy food that both tastes good and does good.”
Bookings for the pub can be made through OpenTable.
