Luckily, we have you covered with all the essentials you will need to throw the perfect dinner party. Firstly, you need a tablecloth and runner.

Serving

Now, onto the next feature of the perfect dinner party… your Serving ware.

Starting of with the basics, a dinner set is essential. Whatever colour or material you like, we have got you covered. From stoneware, in Light and Mediterranean Blue, or in a White Bone China. Whatever your preference is for your dinner party, we can make it work for you. One you have the prefect dinner set, its time to think about serving ware for each course, let’s start with entrees.

Entrée

For the first course, you need to think about what kind of food you want to serve. For a minimalist dinner party, the serving ware for entrees should emphasize simplicity, clean lines, and subtle elegance as opposed to a maximalist dinner party, serving ware should be as bold and vibrant as the rest of the décor. A few options for serving ware are our wooden boards and porcelain platters, which can be used to serve cheese, meat, pizza or flatbreads, fish and seafood.

Main

For your second course, you could use a different range of serving platters. Large serving platters to serve roasted meats, grilled vegetables or casseroles. Wooden, ceramic or marble platters can be used to lend a rustic feel to your dinner party. Oval or rectangular platters are especially great for elongated dishes like grilled fish or roast chicken, while round platters work well for more compact dishes like a variety of side dishes or a mixed grill. For a more formal or refined presentation, consider using individual serving dishes such as personal-sized small cast iron skillets, or miniature pots for individual portions of dishes like casseroles, individual steaks, or grilled vegetables. Our Cast Iron Pot or Skillet with Acacia Trivet would be perfect for this.

Dessert

For your dessert, there is so many options. For mousses, parfaits, or layered desserts, stemmed glasses like martini glasses, dessert wine glasses, or footed bowls are an elegant way to serve your dessert, and our large range of glasses are sure to have something perfect for you. Our weck jars are perfect for more whimsical or rustic presentations, such as puddings, tarts, or even fruit sorbets. For cakes, we have a range of cakes stands that range from white porcelain to marble to gold to glass, that can elegantly display your cakes. Or our 2 Tier Serving Stand in Matt Gold is another perfect way to display your dessert. It could be used for cupcakes or other individual desserts. So now you have all you need to throw the perfect dinner party!
