Neighbours have chosen to bring the street party up to date by throwing a first-of-its-kind ‘air-fried event'.

The residents on Fry Crescent are living up to their street's name by cooking all their Coronation party food using the must-have kitchen appliance of the year - an air fryer.

They will whip up everything from Coronation Quiche to Scotch Eggs in a selection of air fryers donated to the residents by the cookware and small appliance manufacturer Tefal.

Tefal has also provided each of the houses participating in the party with recipes and tips on how to use their air fryers, KentLive reports.

Caroline Ross, Marketing Manager, Kitchen Electrics at Tefal said, “When people look back on 2023, they will remember the historic Coronation of King Charles III and a time when the air fryer was king of the kitchen.

"After air fryers surged in popularity by 3,000% in 2022 it seemed right that they had a role to play in helping the nation celebrate on May 6, especially since many homes in the UK now have one – maybe even Buckingham Palace?"

Carol Scott, one of the residents and organisers of the Fry Crescent street party said: “Royal celebrations and street parties are something we have become known for on Fry Crescent, we’ve marked everything from the Diamond Jubilee, to royal weddings and VE day celebrations.

"In previous years we have dusted off the barbecues or baked party food in the oven, but this year everything will be made in our Tefal air fryers and we’re really excited to challenge ourselves to see what delicious things we can come up with for the party."
