Great food for parties and sharing

Welcome to Platter & Slate 

A fresh take on event catering, for truly memorable events

For us, food is for sharing and should be at the heart of a great party. 

Our catering team specialises in unique canapés, sharing platters, and mezzes for your party, wedding or business event. 

All our chefs are highly trained and experienced in event catering, sharing a pride in producing artisan, hand-made food using top quality ingredients. We only use seasonal ingredients, free range meats, and sustainable fish for all of our events.

We don’t have glossy brochures or set menus – we believe that everyone’s tastes and needs are different. We just have a talk, listen to your ideas and work out your catering requirements together.

We are happy to spend time to build the right menu for you - whether it's a selection of finger foods  or canapés for a reception, a buffet or sharing platter for private parties, a full sit down meal with friends and family, high tea with all the trimmings for an afternoon celebration, office lunches, corporate events or group picnics.

Please look at our reviews on Google, and you can also find us on Instagram.

Please get in touch to discuss your next event.

Afternoon Tea

    – Rebecca McDonald

  • "We feel very lucky to have found and secured Platter and Slate to caterer our wedding. Deanna was brilliant to work with. It felt like we bonded very quickly and refined the menu together. Deanna is very passionate, her ideas are creative, the food very tasty, and refined."

    – Peter Hodsman

  • "Deanna and her team catered an event at our home for a family birthday and were absolutely fantastic! Deanna was very responsive and managed to interpret what we wanted perfectly. We wanted a relaxed and informal gathering but with brilliant food and that is exactly what was provided."

    – Becky Newell

  • "I care passionately about food, so when we were deciding on who we would get to cater our wedding... I spoke to more than 15 companies across London. Deanna was completely delightful from the very get-go. I am allergic to gluten, which can sometimes create difficulties, but Deanna proposed a menu that was so delicious that no one even noticed that it was gluten-free."

    – Eleanor Nairne
