What Is A Meat Platter?
A meat platter is basically a selection of bite-sized meats served on a platter, much like a charcuterie board, but with an emphasis on meat. The meat you choose is up to you, it could be beef, turkey, chicken, or anything else.
The goal is flavour served in an elegant way, the perfect way to keep everyone at your party or gathering happy and fed. A meat platter can be a lot more filling than regular charcuterie or cheese boards; you can rely on a meat platter, or just a few meat platters, to serve as the food for the night, depending on the amount of guests you are having over.
Delicious Meat Platter Ideas
The beauty of the culinary arts lies in its versatility, and meat platter dishes offer an incredible range of rich textures and flavours. Finding the right dish depends on your taste, but the options are endless. We have highlighted a few appetising meat platter dishes to help you decide on the perfect food pairing for your next gathering.
Chicken Supremes With Parma Ham (GF)
You cannot go wrong with our Chicken Supremes And Parma Ham. The dish is a refined blend of crispy parma ham served with tender chicken supremes roasted to perfection. At Angie’s, this dish is topped with watercress, gremolata (parsley, wild rocket, capers, extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest) and caper berries.
As a gluten-free meat platter, it is a great choice for meeting your guests’ potential dietary restrictions with no need to sacrifice flavour. The meat platter is expertly plated by our in-house chefs, adding an extra layer of flair to your party while satisfying your guests’ craving for flavour.
Beef Onglet With Soy And Sesame (GF) (DF)
A platter for anyone and everyone who loves beef, this dish is a rare beef coated in soy, chilli and ginger to spice up the flavour. At Angie’s, we serve it with a baby gem and bean sprout salad (mixed leaves, black and white sesame seeds, radish, spring onion, salt, pepper and rapeseed oil), topped with a flavourful sesame and soy dressing for that extra crunch.
Another perfect option for those with dietary restrictions, as this dish is both dairy and gluten free. The flavour is as good as it gets, a beautiful combination of textures and tastes that really hits the spot. Whether you’re hosting a big corporate event or having family over for the holidays, getting a Beef Onglet meat platter is always a strong choice.
Rump Of Beef With Chimichurri (GF) (DF)
Another incredible beef offering, the Rump of Beef with Chimichurri platter is a meat lover’s dream dish. At Angie’s, this meat platter includes rare rump steak served with appetising pepper and chimichurri sauce. The dish is topped with parsley and a red wine vinegar dressing.
The succulent beef and zesty sauce combine for a wonderful culinary experience, giving your guests a filling and delicious bite-sized meal. Once again, the dish is perfect for guests on strict diets, as the platter comes both gluten and dairy free. All in all, adding a rump beef meat platter to your party can only elevate it.
Chicken And Pistachio Pesto (GF)
The Chicken and Pistachio Pesto platter comes with roasted chicken pieces marinated in honey and lemon together with a tangy pistachio, rocket, lemon and parmesan pesto. The ultimate combination of sweet and savoury, this meat platter is popular for any and every type of event.
At Angie’s, the dish comes served with sun-dried tomatoes and grated parmesan cheese to add to the texture and get the most out of the flavour. Gluten-free, this meat platter is styled and plated by our expert chefs so you can treat your guests to delicious flavour and gorgeous presentation.
Coronation Chicken (GF) (DF)
A classic and popular British favourite, the Coronation Chicken meat platter is diced or shredded chicken salad served with apricots, roasted almonds, parsley and watercress. A salad with a crunch, the flavour is tantalising and bound to impress your guests.
At Angie’s, we serve it gluten-free and dairy-free to make sure more people can enjoy it. The platter comes with a creamy dressing that includes a mixture of dairy-free mayonnaise and a touch of curry powder to compliment the chicken. The innovative combination of flavours and textures makes this a brilliant option for chicken salad lovers, and anyone else who enjoys good food.
Harissa Chicken (GF)
One more for the chicken lovers, the Harissa Chicken platter is for your guests who enjoy spicy foods with uniquely bold flavours. A chicken breast coated in harissa sauce, the perfect blend of spices, is served with a maple and grapefruit glaze to add a touch of sweetness.
At Angie’s, our Harissa Chicken comes gluten-free. The Harissa Chicken meat platter is an exciting option for the more adventurous of food lovers, and a welcome treat for guests at all kinds of events and gatherings.
Turkey Kofta (GF) (DF)
If beef or chicken is not your thing, the Turkey Kofta meat platter might be the way to go. The dish is an innovative twist on traditional turkey koftas that comes bursting with flavour. A beautiful blend of turkey, corn, and courgette, Angie’s kofta balls are among our most popular items with customers.
We serve it with a sweet chili and lime mayonnaise, fresh lemon, and pea shoots. Much lighter than the beef and chicken options, this meat platter is perfect for guests who do not want to overeat and just want some light refreshments. The meat platter is also both gluten and dairy-free, and is plated with pink grapefruit, red chili, radish and spring onion to add both style and flavour.
