Nine Solid Reasons To Jump On Board The Graze Craze

Here’s why you should choose a grazing table for your party, wedding or after-work drinks…

Grazing tables are a brilliant way to feed big groups of people. Here’s why:

1. Their help-yourself nature suits our casual Kiwi approach to entertaining.
2. Their air of abundance makes guests feel welcome and indulged.
3. As well as offering a range of nibbles to suit all tastes, they’re an easy way to cater to special diets – as long as the gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan treats are labelled, everyone can just help themselves.
4. They’re totally achievable to make yourself even if you’re blessed with zero cooking skills.
5. Because they usually don’t include anything hot, you can set them up in advance, then pop off and get changed or have a glass of bubbly before your guests arrive.
6. They’re a great alternative to a plated starter because they allow people to mingle over drinks before sitting down for the main. They’re particularly popular for weddings, where they’re a genius way to keep the guest occupied while the bride and groom are off having their photos taken.
7. They also make a brilliant dessert station – set it up off to the side after the main course so people can help themselves when they’re ready for a little something sweet.
8. They tend to work out to be a more affordable catering option than formal finger foods because you don’t need staff to hand around trays of nibbles.
9. They’re so-hot-right-now, and an on-trend choice for corporate events or Friday night drinks. Take a break from the chips and dips and impress your clients and workmates with a grazing table!
