[Liz Seyi]

Sharing platters are a great way to serve food at a party or event, and offer the perfect chance to get creative with your dishes, offer plenty of flavours to your guests, and make sure you have enough for everyone.
Whether you are catering in Essex, or throwing a bash in London, read on to find out more about sharing platters, and why they should be a fixture at the next bash or other social occasion you organise.
What is a sharing platter?
A sharing platter is essentially a buffet-style dish where you can put together a variety of different foods in one place so that people can help themselves as much as they like. It’s a great idea for parties, events, and even picnics.
There are several benefits to sharing platters, and these include:
• Guests can help themselves
This means there’s no need for you to worry about serving too many dishes, or having to keep an eye on things while your guests eat. Instead, you just need to ensure everything is ready and waiting for them to enjoy.
• You can serve more dishes
If you want to serve a range of different types of food, sharing platters are a great option. You don’t have to worry about making sure each person gets their own plate, because they can simply grab whatever they want from the shared platter.
• It makes serving easy
If you’re serving a large group of people, then this is a good choice – there is no need to go around the table asking who wants what, which can be quite time-consuming.
The only downside to this is that you may end up with some leftovers, but this isn’t always a bad thing. If you’ve got a lot of friends coming over, it can be nice to give them something to take home with them.
• It’s great for parties
Sharing platters are also ideal for parties, especially those with a buffet-style setup. This is because you can easily set up a whole range of dishes, and let your guests help themselves.
Final thoughts

Sharing platters can be an excellent option for any type of gathering, whether it’s a family dinner, a birthday party, or a picnic. They allow you to serve a wide variety of food without having to fret about running out, and they are easy to prepare.
