Party Catering

Celebrate in style with private catering

Perfect food for the perfect celebration

Whether you are planning a special birthday party, a christening, an office party or an anniversary party, Platter & Slate can take of the food to help ensure your party is a great success and to allow you to relax and enjoy it!

Our party catering options can be tailored to your requirements; whether it is a buffet, sharing platters, bowl food or finger food, or canapés. If your party is outdoors, we have some lovely garden party ideas, as well. We can also arrange for waiting staff to ensure all the food and drink is served efficiently and with a smile. 

Catering for all types of parties, big or small

Our private catering service is tailored for your particular needs, including the party budget (big or small), the party size, the venue, and your vision for what you want to eat and how you want it presented at your special get-together. We can also recommend the perfect wine to accompany your party food.

Special care & attention for large events

We understand how stressful planning a large party can be, and how important it is to ensure everything is spot-on. For large events we would be happy to arrange a tasting and a site visit to make sure all the plans for catering at the party run smoothly.

Seasonal ingredients for the freshest taste

As with all our food, wherever possible we use seasonal ingredients for our private catering menus. All our meat is free range and we use sustainable fish, which we source directly from Billingsgate market (where we have our kitchen) so it is as fresh as possible.

Highly trained & experienced catering chefs

Our head chef Deanna Smith works with a team of expert chefs who are highly experienced and have trained at Leith’s School of Food & Wine. Some (like Deanna) have also taught there. You can therefore be assured that the cooking will be of the highest standard.
