Grazing table hire in Melbourne

What does grazing table hire include?

You are booking the food and the people who set it up. Here is what comes with a table.

• The food for your chosen style and size.
• The styling and layout of the table.
• Set-up at your venue by our team, up to 2 hours before the event.
• Everything you need for the day, in disposable or recyclable materials.
• Easy clean-up, because nothing needs to be returned unless you hire stone, dishes or silverware.

Which styles and sizes can I hire?

Each style comes in set sizes, and the guest number is the most the table feeds. You can pick more than one style on the enquiry form, and add canapés, sandwiches, wraps and fresh juices to a table order. See our grazing table packages and grazing table add-ons.

Not sure which size? Tell us your headcount, how long the event runs and whether other food is being served, and we will help you choose. A smaller crowd can use a larger size, so size the table for the guests you expect. Our grazing table cost guide explains how a table is quoted.

• Savoury and sweet tables run from 0.5 m (up to 15 guests) to 6 m (up to 180).
• Brunch tables are sized by guest numbers, from 10 to 15 guests up to 100.
• Fruit tables run from 0.5 m (up to 20 guests) to 3.5 m (up to 100), with 8 different seasonal fruits.
• Kids tables run from 0.5 m (up to 20 guests) to 1 m (up to 30).

Disposable set-up, or hired stone, dishes and silverware?

By default the set-up is disposable or recyclable, so clean-up is easy and nothing comes back to us.

For a dressier look, you can hire stone, dishes and silverware with your table. Tell us when you enquire and we will include them in your quote. Hired items are the one thing that comes back to us, so ask how that works when you book. Hiring suits weddings, engagements and client events, where you want the table to look dressier.

How does set-up work on the day?

Tell us the venue address and your start time when you enquire. Our team arrives up to 2 hours before the start, sets up the table and leaves it ready for guests to help themselves.

Tell us your finish time as well, because perishable food should not sit out for too long. Our guide on how long a grazing platter can sit out explains the limits.

What do I need to provide?

Very little. We bring the food and the set-up, and we need a few things from you.

• A space for the table. Tell us the room and the table or surface you plan to use, and we will confirm it suits the size.
• Access for our team up to 2 hours before the start, including the floor and the lift or loading dock if it is a building.
• A fully functioning kitchen at the venue, but only if you want hot food.
• Your guest numbers, start and finish times and dietary needs, so we can plan and quote.
