An Easier Way to Serve a Cheese Board at Your Next Party
There’s a lovely moment at a party when everyone has a drink, the food is out and you can finally sit down. Getting to that point usually involves a little more running around than you planned.
A cheese board is an easy way to give guests something to share while they settle in. With our Signature Cheese Board Upgrade, it can arrive already arranged on a wooden board, so you can cross the presentation off your list too.
The wooden board is an optional add-on for all our cheese platters in regular sizes and above, including the Connoisseur’s Board. We assemble the platter, cling wrap it and heat seal the packaging for delivery. When you’re ready to serve, remove the wrapping and put the board on your table.
What is our Signature Cheese Board Upgrade?
It’s a way to have your platter presented on a wooden serving board from the start. Each cheese and accompaniment is arranged before the board is wrapped and secured for delivery.
That means you won’t need to find a board at home, transfer the food or spend the last few minutes before guests arrive rearranging everything. The food stays on the board it was prepared on.
It also gives the platter a place in your table setting. Set it beside the drinks for a small gathering, or make it part of a bigger spread with the rest of your party food.
A grazing-style spread without an on-site setup
Sometimes you want a generous-looking food table without organising a full catering setup. Perhaps it’s a birthday in your living room, a housewarming or a Friday gathering at the office.
For those occasions, the board upgrade offers a more budget-friendly route to a presented spread. You’re choosing a platter and its wooden board add-on, rather than commissioning someone to arrange and style a display at the venue.
The practical difference is where the work happens. We prepare the board before delivery; you decide where to put it. There’s no need to schedule an on-site styling session just to get your cheese platter looking ready for the occasion.
A full grazing table is a different service. If you want a larger display arranged at your venue, our grazing-table service may be the better fit. The board upgrade is for hosts who are happy to set out their own table and would like the food presentation taken care of.
Where the board upgrade works best
For a dinner party, a board can give early arrivals something to enjoy while you finish the main course. For a housewarming, it fits easily into a casual help-yourself spread. At an office celebration, you can place it on a cleared table without turning the room into a catering project.
It’s also an option when you’re bringing food to someone else’s gathering. Check with the host about the menu and chilled storage, then choose a size that complements what they’re serving.
You can use more than one board for a bigger party, too. Rather than squeezing everything onto one surface, think about where people will gather and whether two smaller serving areas would work better.
A few simple touches for your party table
Once the food is arranged, the rest can stay simple. Clear enough space for guests to reach the board, put small plates nearby and leave somewhere for people to set down a glass.
If you’re adding flowers or decorations, keep them off the food and low enough that they don’t get in the way. A plain tablecloth or runner can help the wooden board stand out without making the table feel crowded.
Have suitable serving utensils ready and check dietary requirements before ordering. If you’re offering other snacks, give them their own bowls or plates instead of piling extra items onto the prepared arrangement.
Refrigerate the platter on arrival and follow the storage and serving instructions supplied with your order. The wrapping secures the presentation for delivery; it does not replace chilled storage.
Choosing the right platter for your guests
Start with what else is on the menu. A board served before dinner has a different job from one that is the main food for the evening.
Check the serving guide for the platter you’re considering, then choose the size and quantity around your guest count. The wooden board upgrade changes the presentation; use the platter description to judge how much food you’re ordering.
For larger gatherings, tell us how many people are coming and what other food you’ll have. We can help you choose from our cheese platters and work out a suitable combination.
How to order the wooden board add-on
Choose your platter in a regular size or above, or select the Connoisseur’s Board, then add the Signature Cheese Board wooden board option to your order. If you can’t find it for your chosen platter, contact us before checking out.
The board is an optional paid upgrade, so check the final order total with your selected platter and delivery option. Petite platters are not eligible for this add-on.
For your next gathering, let us handle the arranging. Explore The Cheese Board, choose your platter and add the wooden board for a spread that’s ready to take its place on your table.
