Platter and Co

What goes on a grazing platter?

A savoury grazing platter usually has cheeses, cured meats, bread and crackers, fresh fruit and a few extras. At Platter and Co in Melbourne, the savoury box has a selection of cheeses, cured and deli-style meats, sourdough, crackers, fresh fruit and seasonal nibbles.

Sweet, brunch and fruit platters follow the same idea with different foods. Every box is made fresh to order in our CBD kitchen, and contents change with the season. Here is what goes into each style, and how we handle dietary needs.

What goes on a savoury grazing platter?

A savoury platter is built from a few groups of food, so guests can mix and match. This is what our savoury grazing box, a cheese and charcuterie platter, typically holds. It comes in small (up to 2 people), medium (up to 4) and large (up to 6).

  • Cheeses: a selection of cheeses. Our savoury tables have 3 to 4 different cheeses.
  • Cured meats: cured and deli-style meats. Our savoury tables add salami and prosciutto.
  • Bread and crackers: sourdough and crackers.
  • Fruit: fresh fruit. Our savoury tables also have dried fruit and fresh vegetables.
  • Dips and extras: other savoury nibbles that change with the season. Our savoury tables add 2 to 3 dips, olives and stuffed peppers.

What goes on a sweet grazing platter?

A sweet platter swaps the cheese and meat for treats. Our sweet grazing box feeds 1 to 2 people and typically includes a donut, chocolates, meringues, popcorn and fresh strawberries, plus other sweet treats that change with the season.

Our sweet grazing tables have donuts, slices, cookies, fresh fruit with dipping sauce, chocolate, rocky road and marshmallows. If your event has a theme, tell us and the team will work with you.

What goes on a brunch or breakfast platter?

A brunch platter mixes savoury bagels with sweeter scones and granola cups, so there is something for everyone. Our small brekky box feeds 1 to 2 and typically has a croissant, waffles, a granola cup, strawberries and dried fruit, and our brunch grazing table adds mini pastries, toasted banana bread, frittata or quiche, and muesli with yoghurt.

For 2 to 4 people, our brunch grazing box comes with a personalised message. Each box includes:

  • Fresh berries.
  • 2 salmon, cream cheese and dill bagels.
  • 2 smashed avo, feta and cherry tomato bagels.
  • 3 fresh scones with strawberry jam and cream.
  • 4 yoghurt granola cups, topped with fresh seasonal fruit.

What goes on a fruit platter?

A fruit platter is the lightest choice. Our fruit grazing box feeds 1 to 2 people and typically has watermelon, strawberries and other berries, grapes, orange and other seasonal fruit. For bigger groups, our fruit grazing tables are made up of 8 different seasonal fruits.

How does a grazing platter change with the season?

The lists above show what a box typically includes, not a fixed menu. Fruit is the clearest example, so your box may look a little different from one order to the next.

If someone in your group has an allergy or a fruit they can't eat, tell us when you order and the team will let you know what they can do. To choose a size, see how many people a grazing box feeds.

Can a grazing platter be gluten free, dairy free, nut free or vegan?

Yes, on request. We can cater for gluten free, dairy free, nut free, vegan and vegetarian needs, for both boxes and tables. Add your needs to your quote request or enquiry, and tell us about any allergies so we can advise.

Our kitchen handles a range of foods, so we do not make allergen-free guarantees. Our gluten free and vegan grazing page explains how to ask.

Questions people ask

What do you put on a platter besides cheese and meat?

Bread and crackers, fruit and other nibbles. Our savoury tables also have dips, olives, stuffed peppers and fresh vegetables.

Is the brunch grazing box vegetarian?

As listed, it includes salmon bagels, so it isn't vegetarian. Vegetarian needs are available on request, so tell us what you need and the team will confirm what's possible.

Can I choose what goes in my grazing box?

Each box can be tailored on request. Put your requirements in your quote request, and the team will confirm what they can do.

Is a grazing platter enough for a meal?

It works well as nibbles or a starter. If the box is the main meal, or the group is hungry, order one size up or add another box.

How do I keep a grazing platter fresh?

Keep it in the fridge until you're ready to serve, and enjoy it on the day.

    Jess did our grazing table for our wedding and she was nothing short of spectacular from the get go! She was so helpful and lovely catering to everything we asked for and the food was so fresh and such a big hit.
