They're perfect for serving to pals over a few drinks at home, so it's no surprise that a slightly more elaborate version, known as grazing tables or feasting tables, are trending in wedding catering right now! Our very own Joanna was ahead of the curve - she had a grazing table at her wedding in 2016, and it was just fabulous! Grazing tables are brilliant for creating an informal vibe at your wedding - if there's one thing that gets guests mingling, it's a table piled high with delicious antipasti, charcuterie and dips!

Grazing tables are where it's at for basically any event from a garden picnic to a wedding dinner table. More is more when it comes to nailing this style, but we're happy to leave it to the pros.

Cheese Enthusiast
Growing up with an Italian heritage, it was only natural to develop a passion for food. As a child, I had fond memories of sitting at the kitchen bench watching Mum and Nonna making homemade pasta for an upcoming feast for the family to enjoy. Jump forward to today, and I still really enjoy cooking and entertaining for my family and friends. I guess you can say that it's my love language….and how I show my affection.

As you may be aware, we reside on a small hobby farm, and we're lucky enough to be surrounded by many other farm gates and small local suppliers using ethical farming practices. We feel incredibly bonded to our animals on our farm, and we take a firm stand over only purchasing free-range meats.
Below are some local suppliers and farmers who help supply the delicious food on your grazing table and grazing hamper platters.

Tips On How To Set A Creative And Colourful Grazing Table At Your Next Party
Whether you're hosting a large party or an intimate get-together, it's always worth the effort it takes to put a grazing table together. Are you going for something elaborate or something more simple and straightforward? We have tips for both-plus lots of photos for inspiration.
If you are new to the concept of grazing tables and are looking to add a touch of visual appeal to delectable food display, here's everything you need to know. From styles to pricing, this is an article specially curated with all the information you need to know. We have some of the best and creative grazing tables, and we have an excellent understanding of our client needs. This article will take you through some of the key factors to help you make the right decision on choosing grazing tables for your next event. Suppose you have done your research and are ready to make your decision. In that case, you can find halal grazing tables, vegetarian grazing tables, afternoon tea grazing tables, vegan grazing table and the all-purpose grazing table - all brought together here in one place. We're sure you'll be inspired.
The base layer is important.
Start with an interesting table or piece of furniture that reflects the overall décor of your party. Unique tablecloths can spice up the plainest table.
Pick a theme
There's no limit to the number of options here! You can easily create grazing tables depending on your theme or corporate event. For example, a Christmas lunch grazing table can include Christmas themed foods, plus red, green and gold table decorations, plants, herbs and props. If you're trying to create a rustic, Mediterranean grazing table, choose foods, serving pieces, decorative serving platters, utensils, decorations and props that fit with your theme.
Theme ideas to consider:
- Whimsical - think all the grazing table food favourites, surrounded by a selection of fresh flowers, greenery and candles in jars. A gorgeous snack wonderland
- Sweet treats - why not turn your dessert table into a grazing style, sweet treat grazing table. Pastries, cupcakes and slices, stacked beside glass jars filled with treats
The star of the show - the food
The food you choose should suit your theme and event. Whether it's a breakfast grazing table menu, Halloween themed afternoon tea, or Melbourne Cup lunch, the choices are endless.
Don't include any food that's too big or messy to eat. Your guests should be able to eat a little bit of everything from your grazing table menu. The food should be bite-sized portions – we recommend keeping food items to one or two bites max. Guests shouldn't have to cut anything with a knife once it's left the table.
Don't forget to label which element. Use mini blackboards, slates or flags to let guests know what they are eating.
Check out our short video below to find out how to create your own grazing platter that will impress everyone at home or at the office!
Think location, location!
Leave plenty of room for guests to mingle around the table. This works best if the table isn't jammed against the wall, allowing guests to access it from both sides.
Mix and match our serving dishes.
Various height serving boards, trays, and stands make for an exciting vision for your food. Wooden boards add a rustic look, while marble gives a more sophisticated feel.
Use fancy cutlery and serving utensils.
You want the dishes, utensils, plates and glasses to all look great too. Skip the red Solo cups and white plastic forks and spoons. Mix and match fun items you have around the home or head to the dollar store or thrift store for some even more character.
Don't leave any white space.
When all is said and done, the table should be totally covered in a rainbow of colour. Fill in any gaps with greenery, sprigs of herbs, nuts, or flowers. Be sure to choose flowers without a strong scent, so they don't compete with the food.
Keep food options bite-sized.
Don't include any food that is too big or too messy to eat. The ultimate goal of a grazing table is to be able to eat a little bit of everything. A good rule of thumb is to keep everything to one or two bites maximum.
