Crystals and silver had been loaned by various local businesses and some cutlery and crockery were transported from the Parliament House in Hobart. Eight members of the local Girl Guides were trained to wait upon the royal party to be held at the Burnie Court House. The women of the Country Women's Association served a simple meal of cold meats and salads, as well as fruit salads and pavlova. The Perth Western Mail reported of the lunch served, "in the excellence of its cooking and the loving care of its preparation, it couldn't have been exceeded by the world's best chefs." On the day after the royal lunch, 3,000 people visited the room of the Burnie Court House to view the setting in which the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh ate their lunch. No doubt Florrie had something to talk about for many days to come.
