Why choose Sadlergates

  • Five Boards

    Italian, Ploughmans, Greek, Middle East and Dessert. Mix them across a table or take one on its own.

  • Serves Ten A Crate

    Each crate feeds ten as a generous graze. Three crates make a table for thirty; scale from there.

  • Built To Be Looked At

    This is the product people photograph. Laid out properly, it does more for a room than any amount of decoration.

ABOUT GRAZING

Two ways to lay it out

The Main Event is a grazing table: boards run together along a long table, guests come to it and pick across the evening. It suits a reception, a launch or a party where nobody sits down.

In The Middle is the same food set at the centre of each table so guests share without leaving their seats. It works alongside a hot buffet as a starter, or as dessert at the end.

  • Five boards to choose from
  • £97.00 a crate, serves 10
  • Tables or table-centres
  • Vegetarian boards available

PRICING

£97.00 a crate, and each crate serves ten

Sizing is simple: one crate per ten guests for a proper graze, or one per fifteen if it is sitting alongside a buffet. Three crates run together make a table that reads as a centrepiece rather than a platter.

  • £97.00 per crate
  • Each crate serves 10
  • Five boards including a dessert board
  • Works as a table or as table-centres

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Grazing Tables — your questions answered

How much does a grazing table cost?

£97.00 a crate, and each crate serves ten people. A table for thirty is three crates. Prices exclude VAT.

How much table do I need?

Allow roughly a metre of table per crate so the boards can run together with space around them. Three crates on a two-metre trestle looks crowded; on three metres it looks like a grazing table.

What is the difference between a grazing table and grazing boards?

The food is the same. A grazing table is the boards run together along one long table for guests to come to. Boards set in the middle of each dining table is the In The Middle version, where people share without leaving their seats.

Is there a vegetarian grazing board?

The Greek board is largely vegetarian and the Dessert board entirely so. We can also build a fully vegetarian or vegan version of any board — tell us when you book.

Can a grazing board work as dessert?

That is exactly what the Dessert board is for: mini doughnuts, mini waffles, brownies, Victoria sponge, fresh berries, chocolate mousse and sliced kiwi. It works well at the end of a hot buffet.

How far in advance should I book?

Grazing tables are made to order, so a week is comfortable and more is better for a Saturday in summer. Ring the office with your date and we will tell you what is free.

Do you set it up?

For an event we lay the table out for you. Tell us where it is going and roughly what time guests arrive, and it will be ready and covered before they do.

Can I have a grazing table and a hot buffet?

Yes, and it is a common combination. Boards as a starter or a dessert alongside a hot buffet at £23.50 a head works well — allow one crate per fifteen guests rather than per ten when it is not the main food.
