Grazing Tables

Charcuterie Grazing Tables by Fork and Flare

Grazing tables are where most companies cut the corners you can't see. The bigger the table, the cheaper the cheese, the earlier the meat gets sliced, the less anyone washes. Fork and Flare built its name on the opposite move. A twenty-foot table means more cheese to taste, more meat to slice, and more fruit to wash by hand, and we do every bit of it the way we'd do a board for four.

Every cheese on the table has a name.

Every cheese on your grazing table is one we can name down to the creamery, the region, and the award. Ask another vendor what's on their spread and you'll hear "an assortment of artisan cheeses." Ask us and you'll get a list. Recent tables have carried Beemster Royaal Grand Cru from North Holland (2026 World Cheese Award winner); Quorum 12-Month Aged Manchego from La Mancha; Marin French Triple Crème Brie from West Marin; Midnight Moon goat cheese; and Espresso BellaVitano from the Sartori family in Wisconsin. Kelsey tasted each one first. She keeps it only if she'd serve it to her own family.

Your meat is sliced the morning of your event.

The meat on your grazing table is sliced the day we build it. Nothing sits pre-cut. Nothing gets bagged the night before. Prosciutto, soppressata, and chorizo come from a small-batch maker we spent years finding, hardwood-smoked and patiently dry-aged, then cut the morning your table is set. A pre-sliced tray turns gray and curls at the edges by the second hour. Yours won't.

Your fruit gets washed by hand.

The fruit on your grazing table is washed by hand, every single berry. Blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries soak in filtered water, vinegar, and baking soda to lift field dirt and residue, then get a full rinse before they touch the table. On a spread this size that's hundreds of berries. Most companies skip the step at any size. Your guests taste the difference.

Attended service keeps your table full all night.

Attended service is the upgrade that separates a grazing table from a buffet. Most caterers set the spread down and drive away, which is why the last hour of a party looks picked over. We can stay and tend your table instead, refilling and restyling as the night runs so the guest who arrives at eight sees what the guest at six saw. It's priced by the event. It's the add-on that corporate clients request frequently.

Every table is finished in flowers.

Fork and Flare finishes every grazing table in edible flowers. They're the last thing Kelsey adds and the first thing your guests photograph. Around the cheese and meat, each spread carries seasonal fruit, artisan honey, non-GMO preserves and compotes, tasty olives, cornichons, caprese skewers, and fresh bread.

Every grazing table is built for your event.

Every grazing table is customizable to your theme, your guest list, and the season. We'll style a wedding table in florals, a corporate table for networking, or a shower table in your colors, and we'll work around vegan guests, nut allergies, and anything else your list brings. Delivery and setup come with every table. Grazing tables need about a week's notice ideally, and two to four weeks during holidays and peak season, so book early.

Fork and Flare serves all of Orange County, from Huntington Beach to San Clemente and Newport Beach to Anaheim.

The Flare Grazing Table Spread by Fork and Flare

The Flare Grazing Table Spread is an impressive charcuterie board/grazing table designed to transform any gathering into a memorable culinary experience. We prepare each board fresh daily on a beautiful 36"x12" acacia wood serving board, creating a stunning centerpiece that serves 35-42 guests generously.

This premium spread features 10 hand-cut specialty cheeses totaling 90 oz, offering a diverse range of textures and tastes from creamy bries to aged cheddars. We pair these with 30 oz of fresh-sliced salami and prosciutto, providing savory depth and authentic Italian flavor.

The spread is enhanced with vibrant seasonal fruits that add natural sweetness, briny olives and tangy cornichons for contrast, local honey and specialty-made jams for complementary sweetness, stone-ground mustard for a spicy kick, and an assortment of artisan crackers for the perfect vehicle. Each component is thoughtfully arranged to create visual appeal and balanced flavor profiles. The Flare Grazing Table Spread is available for pickup or delivery, eliminating stress while delivering a restaurant-quality presentation for your special occasion, corporate event, or gathering.

Please note: The acacia wood board returns to our commercial kitchen in Costa Mesa within 5 days after your event.

Your grazing table charcuterie board also includes serving utensils, a wooden honey dipper, bamboo serving tools (tongs, spoons, and a cheese knife), and two complimentary sleeves of crackers. Each board is beautifully wrapped in food-safe cellophane with a satin ribbon and includes a complimentary greeting card—perfect for gifting or presentation at events.

This board is ideal for weddings, corporate parties, milestone birthdays, holiday gatherings, or any event where you want to make an impression. Please note: our large board must be returned to our Costa Mesa kitchen within 5 days of your event.
