A Coronation feast
Parker’s Tavern Restaurant opened for business in 1834, and swiftly became a popular stopping point for coaching passengers on their way to and from the capital. They came for good company, a stiff drink, and a room for the night in the University Arms. In 1838, the city threw a party to celebrate the coronation of Queen Victoria. Fifteen thousand locals gathered for a public feast, eaten in the viewshed of the coaching inn on Parker’s Piece, Cambridge. 185 years later we gather again to celebrate the coronation of Charles III.
