Whether you are hosting a celebratory dinner party or a sit-down meal with the family, you will want to showcase your food in the very best way. To ensure your night is a hit, you’ll need a few important pieces. Add a touch of personal style to your bespoke kitchen design with plates and platters that will not only a practical helping hand in the kitchen but also allow you to flaunt your interior style.
Choosing the right serving plate is always fun, whether it’s a bold monochrome plate or a country traditional platter. Here we have put together a quick guide to help complete your display:
The Dinner Plate
The dinner plate is what you will place on each setting for your guests, so it needs to be memorable yet practical. Internationally renowned British artist Rory Dobner introduces his brand new plate collections for 2018, which unlocks a world of wonderfully idiosyncratic characters and illustrations that are perfect for making a statement!
Middle of the Table
The ‘showstopper’ will be the central serving plate, which is always reserved for the main course. What better way to wow your guests, than by having a stand out plate to grab their attention.
Nibbles & Appetizers
Some believe the start of the meal is the most significant because it sets the mood for the evening. These can afford to be unique and eccentric to reveal your personality as the host and create a talking point. Usually utilised for presenting olives, nuts and appetisers, these plates are perfect for small nibbles that help to get the ball rolling at your dinner party.
Cheese & Charcuterie
Cheese and charcuteries are a European trend that has become fully entrenched in British dining. These magnificent marble serving boards are perfect for serving up cheeses and cold meats. They not only look great and act as a gorgeous centrepiece, the marble will also help to keep your cheeses and cold meats cooler for longer.
Grand Finale
And for the pièce de résistance, what better way to end the night than with a show-stopping sweet treat? From tiered styles to a simple footed stand, there’s a cake stand to suit every occasion and it always entices guests of all ages – from grandparents to small children.
