Flexibility with serving boards for an attractive presentation

November 13, 2024

In the catering industry, flexibility is the key to success. Whether it's private celebrations, corporate events, or large wedding receptions – each event comes with its own requirements, and the right equipment can make a difference. Our high-quality serving and cutting boards are not only functional kitchen helpers, but they also add visual appeal. In this article, you'll learn how to use the boards optimally, which sizes and shapes are suitable for different purposes, how to maximize their presentation, and what advantages they offer specifically for caterers.

The right choice: Which board for which purpose?

Our serving boards come in various sizes and shapes, each particularly suited for specific tasks:

Large, rectangular boards are excellent for buffets and larger arrangements. They provide space for a variety of dishes – from cheese and cold cut platters to antipasti and finger food. Due to their size, stunning presentations can be created on these boards that impress guests. This contributes to particularly appealing displays.

Smaller, round or oval boards are ideal for individual portions or as stylish bases for snacks and sides. These boards are perfect for cheese or cold cut platters that can be distributed on tables for easy access for guests.

Cutting boards in handy sizes are practical for preparing and plating smaller portions right at the table. These boards also serve wonderfully as personal serving platters for individual guests – a creative touch that makes the catering experience even more personalized.

The right equipment: Sizes and shapes for every use

When selecting the right boards, it’s worth paying attention to versatile equipment. Here are some considerations to keep in mind when choosing your boards:

Shape and material: Rustic wooden boards with natural grain offer a warm and inviting appearance that suits almost any event. Round or oval boards additionally bring an interesting shape into play and can be used in a variety of ways.

Size: Large boards are ideal for presenting extensive food arrangements or buffets. Smaller boards, on the other hand, look particularly charming when used as personal serving platters – perfect for creative, individualized menus.

The art of presentation: Making serving boards eye-catchers

To make serving boards truly stand out, both the arrangement of foods and some decorative elements play an important role:

Layering and colors: An appealing presentation is achieved by combining different textures and colors on the board. Dark bread next to light cheese, fresh herbs next to dried fruits – this creates an interesting appearance that is visually attractive.

Creating height and dimensions: Place small glasses for dips or small bowls with olives and nuts on the board. This creates different levels, which is particularly visually appealing on large buffets.

Decorative elements: Fresh herb sprigs like rosemary or thyme, edible flowers, or small fairy lights around the boards are great eye-catchers that stylishly complete the overall presentation and enhance the visuals.

Sustainability and durability

More and more caterers and customers value sustainability. Our serving boards are made from durable, environmentally friendly materials that remain usable for many years with proper care. Simple tips like regularly oiling the boards help to extend their lifespan. This way, you invest not only in an appealing presentation but also in a sustainable choice that saves costs in the long run.

Flexibility for different event types

Serving boards effortlessly adapt to various event types. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate party, BBQ event, or themed night – the boards can be individually used for any occasion, creating a special atmosphere. They quickly become an indispensable all-rounder for caterers who want to incorporate flexibility and style into their event planning.

Personal touch: Personalization options

Another advantage is the possibility to personalize serving boards for events. With engravings or branding – for example, the caterer’s or client’s logo – the boards can have a special, individual touch. This makes each event unique, and guests fondly remember the special atmosphere.

Practical tips for logistics and handling

Serving boards are easily stackable and thus extremely practical...
