Presenting Meat Platters
So, what sort of gathering calls for platters? The short answer; pretty much any event can stand to benefit from a few platters. Whether you are hosting a small social gathering or a large-scale function, your guests will be peckish and our platters will be there to satisfy them.
Meat platters encourage the spirit of sharing and socialising, making them ideal for social gatherings. By giving guests the opportunity to engage in conversations, laughter, and connection while sampling a variety of flavours, sharing platters creates a sense of community.
Moreover, meat platters are useful when serving large groups of people because they eliminate the need for individual plating, speeding up the serving process. Guests can help themselves to the foods, fostering a social atmosphere by encouraging diners to interact with one another.
Platters also provide a broad selection of foods, giving guests a variety of options to choose from. Hosts can cater to a range of tastes, dietary preferences, and dietary restrictions, ensuring that everyone finds something that they enjoy eating. Angie’s meat platters include a selection of different meats, ranging from onglet to salmon. We also cater to various dietary needs, with gluten-free and dairy-free options available too.

Meat Platters: Suggested Beverage Pairings
While perfectly paired beverages depend on the type of seasoning and methods of cooking the meat, below is a list of general pairings which work well with these types of fish and meat platters:
Meat Platters: Onglet
Red Wine
Medium-Bodied Red Wines: The strong and beefy flavour of onglet tends to pair well with medium-bodied red wines. Think wines with enough acidity and tannins to stand up to the meat without overwhelming it. Consider wines such as Merlot, Malbec, or a lighter style of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Zinfandel: Zinfandel can work beautifully with onglet – specifically if the wine has a good balance between fruitiness and peppery/spicy notes.
Beers
Amber Ales: Amber ales have a certain maltiness that is able to complement the savoury flavours of onglet.
Brown Ales: Brown ales offer a nutty and slightly sweet character that also pair well with the richness of the meat.
Non-Alcoholic Options
Sparkling Water: This is a simple but ultimately refreshing choice that will satisfy guests while not overpowering the flavours of onglet.
Fruit-Infused Water: Adding slices of citrus fruits, berries, or herbs to water gives a refreshing contrast to the savoury taste of onglet.
Meat Platters: Rump Of Beef
Red Wine
Medium to Full-Bodied Red Wines: Rump of beef’s flavour and texture make it suited to several red wines. Consider options such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah (Shiraz), or Bordeaux blends.
Beers
Porter or Stout: Dark beers sometimes offer a roasted or chocolatey sensation that nicely complements the flavours of beef.
Brown Ale: Brown ales that boast a nutty and malty profile are also a good choice to pair with beef.
Non-Alcoholic Options
Iced Tea: Unsweetened iced tea, be it black or herbal, can allow for a refreshing contrast to the savoury flavours of the meat.
Meat Platters: Chicken
White Wine
Chardonnay: Chardonnay is a brilliant choice for various chicken dishes. Crisp and unoaked Chardonnays tend to work well with lighter meals, while oak versions will match well with more robust dishes.
Pinot Grigio: The light and refreshing nature of Pinot Grigio can perfectly complement the flavours of lightly seasoned chicken.
Red Wine
Pinot Noir: A light red wine like Pinot Noir will work well with dishes that feature chicken – especially when the dishes include earthy textures and flavours.
Beers
Light Lager: A crisp and light lager can be a refreshing choice for fried chicken or dishes with mild flavours.
Pale Ale: Depending on the preparation, a pale ale’s balanced bitterness and maltiness will complement the flavours of roasted or grilled chicken.
Non-Alcoholic Options
Sparkling Water: Sparkling water with a bit of lemon or lime can both cleanse the palate and pair well with lighter chicken meals.
Meat Platters: Salmon
White Wine
Chardonnay: Chardonnay is also a viable option for salmon preparations. Crisp and unoaked Chardonnays would be the best option in this regard.
Sauvignon Blanc: This crisp white wine is able to offer a refreshing contrast to the overall richness of salmon.
Pinot Grigio: With a light and refreshing flavour profile, this option can enhance the natural flavours of salmon without overdoing it.
Sparkling Wine
Brut Champagne or Sparkling Wine: The fizz and acidity of brut Champagne or other sparkling wines will cleanse the palate and complement the fish’s texture.
Beers
Wheat Beer: A decent fruity wheat beer can harmonise wonderfully with the more delicate flavours of salmon.
Pale Ale: Depending on the dish, a pale ale will work well with salmon thanks to its balanced bitterness.
Non-Alcoholic Options
Lemonade or Citrus-Infused Water: The citrus flavours of lemonade or lemon-infused water is able to pair nicely with the fresh flavours of certain salmon dishes.
Meat Platters: Sea Trout
White Wine
Sauvignon Blanc: The crisp acidity and citrusy notes of Sauvignon Blanc will complement the light and delicate flavours of sea trout.
Albariño: The bright acidity and minerality of Albariño can be a great match for sea trout preparations.
Rosé
Dry Rosé: A dry rosé can also be a delightful accompaniment to sea trout, boasting fruity flavours.
Sparkling Wine
Brut Champagne or Sparkling Wine: Always a great option for fish dishes, a brut champagne or sparkling wine is also a viable option.
Beers
Light Lager: A light and crisp lager can provide a clean and refreshing contrast to the fish.
Non-Alcoholic Options
Sparkling Water with Citrus: With a fizzy and citrus flavour, sparkling water can mimic the qualities of certain wines and provide a refreshing non-alcoholic match for sea trout.
Herbal Infusions: Herbal teas with gentle flavours are perfect for providing a subtle contrast to the flavours of the fish.
