What decides the cost of a grazing table in Melbourne?
Each table style comes in a set of sizes. For savoury, sweet, fruit and kids tables, a size is a length, from 0.5 metre up to 6 metres, and each length lists the most guests it feeds. Brunch tables are sized by guest numbers, starting with a small group of 10 to 15.
The guest number is a maximum. A table for up to 35 guests works for fewer, but the quote follows that capacity, so size it to the guests you expect. Your quote also reflects the style of table, any add-ons or canapés, and whether you hire our stone, dishes or silverware.
Choosing a size by guest numbers
Start with your guest numbers, then choose the length that covers them. Each length lists the most guests it feeds, and the examples below use the top of each size range.
- A 0.5 metre savoury table feeds up to 15 guests.
- A 1 metre savoury table feeds up to 35 guests.
- A 2 metre savoury table feeds up to 55 guests.
- A 3 metre savoury table feeds up to 75 guests.

Is a grazing table priced per person?
Platter and Co does not price grazing tables per person. A quote follows the table's size, which is set by the most guests it feeds: a 1 metre savoury table feeds up to 35 guests, a 2 metre table up to 55 and a 3 metre table up to 75. Add-ons, canapés and hired stone, dishes or silverware are added to the quote, and we reply within 24 hours.
Tips for choosing a size
The right size depends on your guests and your event. A few tips:
- Count adults for the guest number, and add any children under 'Add more details' on the enquiry form.
- Tell us how long the event runs and whether other food is being served, and we'll help you choose.
- Mix styles if you like. The form lets you pick more than one.
- Tell us about dietary needs. We can cater for gluten free, dairy free, nut free, vegan and vegetarian on request.
- Fewer than 10 guests? A grazing box may suit better. A large savoury box feeds up to 6.

Jess and her team went well above and beyond to cater for my function, which was held on a public holiday! She was easy to communicate with, accurate in her estimation of types and quantities of food… Everyone commented on how good the food was.
