Sandwich Platters: Sensational Fine Dining
Sandwich platters are a classic way to feed a crowd; they are easy-to-grab finger foods that you can finish in a bite or two, and who doesn’t like sandwiches? But the thing is, everyone expects sandwich platters at big gatherings. They are a common feature of corporate lunches, large parties, and virtually any other catered event. What if you could take classic sandwich platters and recreate them in a fine-dining context?
That is precisely what Angie’s has done with our selection of savoury lunch platters. We offer a range of unique Working Lunches, updating the classic lunch platter and bringing the finery and sophistication of high-end restaurants to your catered event.
In this article, we will highlight exactly how Angie’s does platters; that is, in a completely unique fashion. Our dishes are the epitome of fine dining, but in the convenient, finger-food-style composition that made sandwich platters such a popular catering option in the first place. Keep reading to find out how you can update your sandwich platters to truly impress your guests.
What Do You Put On A Sandwich Platter?
Conventional catering companies usually build their sandwich platters in the simplest way possible: they arrange different sandwich flavours on a big platter, ready to serve. But you don’t have to settle for conventionality. With Angie’s unique options, you can order Working Lunches that are already beautifully plated and ready to go – simply pop the lid off and serve immediately.
Alternatively, you can create a build-your-own sandwich board at home, mixing and matching various selections and offering people the chance to create their own flavour combinations. Below, we have listed some of Angie’s popular morsels for you to choose from when constructing your very own sandwich board.
What To Put On A Build-Your-Own Sandwich Board
While Angie’s does not offer conventional sandwich platters, our Working Lunches and tasty Nibbles are sure to impress your guests. If you would like to create a fun fine dining experience for your guests, you can arrange the various options below on a stylish serving board and allow your guests to pick and choose as they please.

Can I Make Sandwich Platters The Day Before?
You can prepare your sandwich platters in advance to make serving on the event day a little easier. Keep in mind, however, that Angie’s platters are best served fresh. Our platters are prepared on the day of delivery and arrive ready to serve. If you would like time to prepare your board beforehand, you can schedule our platter delivery a few hours in advance to ensure your guests are able to enjoy the freshest, quality morsels.
How To Make The Best Sandwich Platters?
As mentioned earlier, Angie’s platters and Working Lunches arrive tastefully plated on biodegradable platters. However, if you would like to add your own spin to the presentation, building your board couldn’t be more simple. All you have to do is follow the instructions we have laid out below and have a little bit of fun with it. It’s your platter, after all.
- Pick out a serving bowl to suit however many people you are entertaining. This will serve as the base for your platter. We recommend flatter, wider dishes, rather than deep dishes.
- Lay a piece of parchment paper down on your platter dish. This will make clean-up much easier when the event is over and the platters have been eaten up by your guests.
- Add your hand-picked, tasty morsels delivered fresh from Angie’s. You can take your pick of a variety of wraps, skewers and other Working Lunch options.
- Add all of your spreads, condiments and seasonings to little bowls. You can then place them around the platter or right in the centre for easy access. You can also garnish the dish with fresh leaves or drizzle some Rapeseed or Olive Oil to freshen up the food.
- Remember to remove the food from the fridge at least 45 minutes before serving, so that your deliverables are at room temperature.
