Modern Wedding & Event Catering, Grazing Tables & Sharing Feasts—Designed to Bring People Together
Sharing Platters
Platter Set up & Styling
From intimate garden weddings and festival-style celebrations to grand sit-down meals, we work closely with you to design bespoke menus that reflect your vision and elevate your occasion.
Our platters are generously filled with fresh, locally sourced produce, a carefully selected range of British cheeses, award-winning Dorset charcuterie, and classic ploughman’s accompaniments, including our signature Somerset Scotch eggs.
Platters can be styled as a stunning grazing runner along long banquet-style tables or elegantly positioned on round tables. We work seamlessly with your existing table styling, including posies, floral arrangements, and candles. Alternatively, we can incorporate our own fresh eucalyptus and soft ruscus to enhance the overall look and feel of your tablescape.
Rhubarb & Ginger Service Team
We offer a full range of catering options, including sharing platters, grazing tables, canapés, desserts, hot food selections, bar hire, drinks packages, and our friendly, professional waiting team—ensuring every detail is taken care of, from water jugs being topped up to fizz poured and candles lit.
Allergies/Dietary Requirements
We are happy to cater for a wide range of allergies and dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free options. During our planning meetings, we will discuss all requirements in detail, including seating plans, to ensure every guest is thoughtfully catered for.
For guests with specific needs—such as vegan or allergy-sensitive diets—we can provide individual boards or plated options, ensuring everyone enjoys the same high-quality experience safely and comfortably.
Grazing Tables
Grazing Tables
Grazing Tables offer a more casual dining experience, perfect for events where guests can help themselves, mingle, or take a seat as they please. They work beautifully for both a relaxed wedding breakfast and evening catering.
We arrive with your food and beautifully arrange it on the table(s) you provide. As no kitchen access is required, this style of catering is ideally suited to a wide range of venues and locations.
Depending on the size of your event, a full grazing table setup can take up to a couple of hours. If you’re working to a tighter schedule and need a quicker setup, our Grazing Table with Platters option offers the same generous, delicious experience with a more efficient setup time.
Set up & Styling
A Grazing Table setup can be created as a simple and elegant flat lay, or elevated with apple crates, wooden slices, bamboo candles, and fresh foliage for a beautifully styled presentation.
Each setup includes cheese accessories and chutney spoons, ensuring your table is ready to impress your guests. You also have the option to add palm plates, cutlery, and napkins for a completely stress-free catering experience.
Allergies/Dietary Requirements
We can create dedicated sections of your grazing table to cater for a range of dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free options. We are also able to provide clear signage to give your guests added confidence and peace of mind.
Please note that, while we take great care in the preparation and presentation of all food, grazing tables carry a higher risk of cross-contamination than individually served platters. Our kitchen is not a gluten- or nut-free environment, and for this reason we may be unable to cater for guests with severe allergies or intolerances. We are always happy to discuss individual requirements and recommend the most suitable catering option.
