Grazing Table Information
At Kenilworth Grazing and Platters, we are dedicated to making the grazing experience,
for you and your guests, seamless and enjoyable.
GRAZING TABLE SIZE
Our grazing tables are designed and priced to serve as appetisers. If you plan to make the grazing table, the only food offering for lunch. We strongly recommend selecting a larger table or considering add-on options. Add-On Menu: This ensures there is sufficient food to accommodate all your guests. We advise against choosing a table smaller than your anticipated guest count, as this may result in inadequate catering for your event.
LOCATION AND TRAVEL INFORMATION
Travel fees are included in the price for most areas on the Sunshine Coast and Gympie; however, they may apply to some locations. If your event is being held outside this region, please contact us directly for more information about any applicable travel charges.
WEATHER CONTINGENCY
To ensure the safety and freshness of your grazing table, we strongly recommend preparing a backup plan for unpredictable weather conditions or unusually high temperatures. Depending on the season and forecast, it may be necessary to relocate the table indoors, ideally in a space with air conditioning, to maintain optimal food quality and safety. If your event is affected by adverse weather, such as intense heat, rain, or thunderstorms, it is crucial to move the grazing table inside or place it under adequate shelter. Taking these precautions will safeguard the food from environmental hazards and help prevent any interruptions to your celebration, ensuring your guests enjoy a memorable experience.
GRAZING TABLE SETUP REQUIREMENTS
Our team requires 1 to 3 hours to set up your grazing table, depending on its size and complexity. To ensure food remains fresh, safe, and visually appealing, the table must be placed in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight and protected from rain, from our arrival until the end of your event. These requirements help us maintain the highest standards of food safety and presentation for your event. Please note: Once setup has commenced, the table cannot be moved until we have completed our service and departed. If the table must be relocated during the event, it will be the client’s responsibility; however, we do not recommend moving it, as this may compromise food safety and presentation. We kindly request access to a power outlet upon arrival. If your venue does not have a power source, please let us know in advance so we can arrange an alternative.
