Be prepared for all courses
Think nuts and picky-bits to start, with cheese and biscuits to finish. If exquisite presentation is what you are aiming for our unique Pewter Stag Nut Bowl, Cast Pewter Cocktail Picks and Set of 3 Cheese Knives are perfect. Displaying nuts and cheeses in dedicated bowls with complementary knives makes it easy for guests to serve themselves and ensures that the distinct flavours of different cheeses are preserved.
