So if you’ve spent any time on social media lately, you will have witnessed the meteoric rise of the grazing table. Some might argue that it’s simply a buffet, but a grazing table is the food equivalent of a perfectly curated Instagram feed… a visual treat! Not only does it taste delicious, it looks delicious!

So what exactly is a grazing table? As the name suggests, it’s a table for grazing! The key to a great grazing table is that food items are not always contained in traditional bowls or plates… they are cleverly arranged to artistically spill, overlap and blend together to create an absolute feast for the senses as well as a feast for the belly! To put it in more practical terms, imagine a retaining wall of cheese holds back an overflow of crackers which are carefully held in position by a cascade of olives. The choices are endless!
