10 Occasions Ideal for Made To Order Food Platters in London
There’s a reason bespoke food platters are more popular than ever for events across the UK, including in London. Not only are they full of flavour but they look simply stunning, especially if you pick a creative team like Platter Up.
We specialise in delicious grazing platters and carefully curated bagel, sandwich and slider boards designed to enhance any occasion.
Here are the top 10 occasions when made-to-order food platters in London aren’t just a good idea, they’re an almost guaranteed hit:
1. Corporate Lunches and Business Meetings
Forget the soggy supermarket sandwiches or disappointing office buffets. A fresh, beautifully presented grazing platter can transform a corporate lunch or boardroom meeting.
Our made to order food platters in London provide a professional yet relaxed dining experience, perfect for impressing clients or rewarding your team. Packed with fresh ingredients and beautifully presented, they also keep things neat and efficient.
2. Baby Showers
Celebrating a new arrival calls for food that’s both a treat and photogenic. Our grazing tables and platters are styled with a baby shower in mind: colourful, charming and full of variety.
Whether the theme is pastel pink, soft blue or gender-neutral, we can customise the visuals to suit. Think delicate mini bagels, artisan cheeses, and fresh fruit- ideal for guests mingling with a glass of fizz in hand.
3. Housewarming Parties
Settling into a new home is a cause for celebration, but cooking for a crowd while unpacking boxes is highly stressful. That’s where our platters come in. Delivered directly to your London door, they’re perfect for laid-back entertaining.
4. Milestone Birthdays
Whether it’s a 21st or a 60th, birthdays are about enjoyment. Platter Up’s made-toorder food platters make birthday catering effortless. From bite-sized sliders for the late-night crowd to more refined grazing boxes for afternoon teas, we’ve got something to suit every age and appetite. Plus, they look brilliant in party photos.
5. Weddings and Engagement Parties
One of the struggles with weddings is catering for the tastes of all your guests. Platter Up can create bespoke platters that suit all imaginable dietary needs. Our splendid platters can also be complemented with grazing boards, lunch tables, or brunch tables.
6. Hen Dos and Stag Parties
If you’re planning a hen or stag in London, our platters are ideal for fuelling the chaos. Why not start the day with a brunch board of filled bagels and pastries? Or set the tone for the evening with an indulgent charcuterie spread?
We can tailor platters to match the theme of your party or dietary requirements.
7. Seasonal Events including Easter Parties
From office parties to cosy gatherings at home, our festive-themed platters bring seasonal cheer to the table. We help you celebrate everything from Valentine’s Day, Pancake Day, and Easter through to Halloween and Christmas.
