A colorful sharing supper Ceramic platters of chickpea salad, roasted aubergine, flatbread and dip make a colorful shared supper on an ivory table. What I want to borrow: A mixture of textures and several small dishes can make the meal feel sociable without requiring a large centerpiece. Adaptation to discuss: Reduce the number of different dishes and repeat a successful set across tables. Decide which items arrive together and which can be replenished. Questions for our supplier: • Which dishes are intended as a complete meal rather than a snack? • How are ingredients and cross-contact questions answered? • Is there enough table space for the full first delivery? Scope to confirm: Full meal versus grazing, menu quantities, serving vessels, utensils and replenishment. Responsible people: Caterer provides ingredient information and a separate-meal plan; hosts collect requests privately. Before confirming: Do not infer vegan, allergen-free or religious dietary suitability from this image. Working example (replace with actuals): For a shared table, count serving vessels and utensils as well as guest plates; every different dish needs its agreed service method.
