Customise serving to suit you

If space is tight, try putting all the food on the table. For a more flexible solution, use a buffet cart with wheels that you can bring to the table and push aside when it’s not needed. Serve refreshments in a wire basket with handles that guests can pass around. When it’s time for a refill it’s easy to carry back into the kitchen.

Effortless elegance

Who says you have to cook for hours to create a beautiful meal? Even the simplest of drinks or snacks can be made into a memorable spread with the help of eye-catching glassware, crockery and serving boards.

Set the mood with deco and dreamy lights

When night falls maximise cosiness with battery powered lamps that are handy for places where there are no sockets, like the great outdoors.
