Serving Trays and Boards
Serving trays and boards are a must when it comes to entertaining family and friends. A sleek stoneware or warm, rustic bamboo serving tray can help highlight the beauty of a meal while also saving you from making multiple trips to the kitchen. Not just any old board or tray will do when it comes to providing nibbles for your next event. Here are some things to consider when picking up your next serving board or tray.
Getting on Board with the Best Serving Boards and Trays
- What size do you need? The size of your trays or boards depends on how you like to entertain. When using a serving board, it shouldn’t appear too overcrowded, while ensuring there isn’t too much empty space. A large wooden tray or board can make for a showstopping centrepiece, while a smaller-sized cheese board is perfect for friendly get-togethers.
- Trays and boards should have a strong handle or a nice, firm grip. Some boards feature cutouts while others have long handles or grooves.
- The shape of your tray or board can be a great conversation starter and create a stylish focal point. A long wooden serving tray has sharp, clean lines while round boards offer balance and symmetry. More unusual shapes can stand out amongst other tableware. If you’re buying multiple trays or boards, try to keep the shapes consistent.
- Serving trays and boards come in an array of materials to help enhance the look and feel of food. Acacia wood has a smooth feel and a scratch-resistant surface. Bamboo is nice and dense, and can prevent bacteria thanks to its natural properties. Both stoneware and fine china are durable with a silky finish. Walnut, meanwhile, has a brooding warmth, and is highly resistant to wear and tear.
- Not sure what style to go with? Opt for clean white trays or neutral tones, which go with just about anything. If you’re feeling bold, why not go for gorgeous flower patterns or paint splatters? Retro patterns with a gold trim can also offer classic luxury and elegance.
- Want something other than a square tray or board? Jazz things up with a stack of tapas plates or a 3-tier stand. Add class to wine time with a cheese board, complete with tools.
- Most importantly, your serving tray or board should be hygienic and easy to clean. Acacia wood is one of the least porous types of wood, making it resistant to moisture and bacteria, while walnut’s close grain helps to repel water and, like bamboo, has antibacterial properties.
