Why Our Sharing Platters Are the Best Choice for Weddings & Big Events
At Food Champs Wedding & Event Catering, we’ve built a name across the Midlands, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Nottinghamshire and beyond for delivering food experiences that delight and impress. As an award-winning catering company, we know what event hosts want: high quality food, excellent service, beautiful presentation—and an unforgettable experience. One of our most popular offerings for weddings, sit-down receptions, corporate dinners and large celebrations is our Sharing Platters service.
What Are “Sharing Platters” – Our Top 3 Castings / Options
Sharing platters combine abundance, variety and presentation—in a way that makes guests excited even before the first bite. At Food Champs, we offer two sharing packages tailored for weddings and large sit-down events. Each platter is meant to bring something different, depending on the size, guest preferences, and how much variety the event host wants.
Here are the key options and what they include:
Large Package – the “full experience”. Offers the widest variety across dietary preferences: meat, fish & seafood, vegetarian, and vegan options. Great for events where guests have diverse tastes or when you want the menu to feel very generous.
Medium Package – enough to cover the most common dietary groups: meat, fish, vegetarian. Ideal when you want excellent variety but for a smaller group of guests.
(Implicit third option / Best value or customised version) – depending on the event, sometimes there’s a curated version (for example, meat-heavy, or more seafood, or more vegetarian) to suit specific guest lists or themes.
Why Couples & Hosts Love These Sharing Platters
Here are some of the main reasons people choose our sharing platters for weddings and large events:
Variety to satisfy diverse tastes
Because guests often have varied preferences (meat eaters, pescetarians, vegetarians, vegans, dietary restrictions), our large & medium platter options give hosts confidence that everyone will find something they love.Beautiful presentation & social dining feel
Sharing platters are less formal than strict plated courses but more elegant. They encourage interaction, create a feast-style look, and make the food part of the decor and atmosphere.Efficiency & ease for hosts
Rather than managing many individual courses, plating, timing, etc., sharing platters reduce service complications. They allow for smoother food flow, less waiting, more satisfaction.Customisable to the scale & budget of the event
With different package tiers (large, medium, custom), hosts can choose the level of richness / variety that fits their budget, guest count, and style.Dessert included: the finishing touch
Including a trio of desserts means one less decision for hosts, and ensures that the meal ends on a high note. It’s a big benefit, especially in sit-down weddings, when the dessert is part of the overall dining experience. We offer a trio of desserts with both packages.

Tips for Hosts When Choosing a Sharing Platter
Know your guest list’s dietary preferences in advance (how many vegan/vegetarian/fish lovers etc.) so you pick the package that covers them.
Think about how the platters will be served (table size, number of guests per table) to avoid overcrowding or imbalance.
Plan together with us about service logistics: when platters arrive, when desserts are served, etc.
