Food Platters Selection
Food platters are a popular choice for events and gatherings. They offer variety, convenience, and a chance to enjoy different flavours in one serving. I want to share some insights about three types of food platters: sandwiches, cheeseboards, fruits and mini cakes. These options work well for many occasions, from corporate meetings to private parties.
Sandwich platters for easy and tasty bites
Sandwich platters are a classic option. They are easy to eat and can suit many tastes. You can find sandwiches with different fillings, breads, and styles. For example, a good sandwich platter might include:
Classic ham and cheese on white or wholemeal bread
Chicken and avocado with a light mayo
Vegetarian options like roasted vegetables and hummus
Tuna salad with cucumber and lettuce
Providing a range to suit dietary requirements with Gluten Free, Vegan and Vegetarian selections
Sandwiches are filling but not too heavy. They work well for lunch breaks or casual events and meetings. You can also choose finger sandwiches, which are smaller and easier to handle.
One example of a great sandwich platter is the Classic Sandwich Selection from Mix & Blend Catering. It offers a variety of freshly made sandwiches with quality ingredients. You can check their Classic Sandwich Selection for more details.
Cheeseboards for a sophisticated touch
Cheeseboards add a touch of elegance to any event. They combine different cheeses, crackers, fruits, and caramelised red onion chutney. This variety allows guests to mix and blend flavours. A well-made cheeseboard can include:
Soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert
Hard cheeses such as Cheddar or Red Leicester
Blue cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort
Accompaniments like grapes, strawberries and mini pickled onions
Cheeseboards are perfect for evening receptions or as a starter. They encourage guests to take their time and enjoy the flavours.
Mix & Blend Catering offers a Deluxe Cheeseboard that features a selection of British and European cheeses with fresh fruits. You can learn more about it here: Deluxe Cheeseboard.
Mini cakes for a sweet finish
Mini cakes are a great way to offer dessert without the mess of large slices. They come in many flavours and styles, from classic sponge cakes to rich chocolate bites. Mini cakes are easy to serve and eat, making them ideal for events where guests mingle.
A mini cake selection might include:
Chocolate & orange roll
Toffee, chocolate ganache, & vanilla cupcake
Mini muffins - Blueberry, chocolate or a indulgence double cholate chip
Strawberry & cream sponge with jam, cream & a sliced of fresh strawberry
These small cakes satisfy sweet cravings and add colour to the food table.
Mix & Blend Catering’s Mini Cakes Selection offers a variety of freshly baked cakes in bite-sized portions. This selection is perfect for afternoon teas or dessert platters. More information is available here: Mini Cakes Selection.
How to choose the right platter for your event
Choosing the right food platter depends on the event type, guest preferences, and timing. Here are some tips:
For business lunches or casual meetings, sandwich platters work well. They are easy to eat and filling.
For evening receptions or more formal events, cheeseboards add sophistication and variety.
For events with a sweet tooth or afternoon tea, mini cakes provide a neat and tasty dessert option.
You can also Mix & Blend these platters to offer a full experience. For example, start with sandwiches, add a cheeseboard for salads, and finish with mini cakes and fruit. This mix covers different tastes and dietary requirements keeping guests satisfied.
