Serving Platters & Bowls

Serving Platters & Bowls information

When you have spent hours creating a delicious menu for your loved ones, you should show your work off in the best possible way. This is why platters and serving bowls are key pieces in every cook’s crockery cupboard.

Serving bowls are incredibly versatile and can be used for everything from desserts to large, colourful salads. Choose glass serving bowls for a classic look and wooden ones for a rustic, farm-style feel.

Platters are also great options for a variety of dishes – from cheese selections to formal canapes and snacks. Platters also work well for arranging flat salads like the Caprese or for heaping pasta on for easy serving. Roasts become showstoppers on oval platters while thinly sliced fillet can be arranged beautifully across a rectangular shape.

Don’t forget platters can double as décor pieces, especially when placed beneath a dinner plate for formal occasions. This layering adds colour and visual interest to the place settings. When not being used for fruit, salad or puddings, deep serving bowls can make unusual flower vases – cut the stems short and fan the flowers out to create a topiary style effect.
