How Much Charcuterie Do I Need? A Simple Per Guest Guide

The right amount depends on one thing: is charcuterie the appetizer, or the meal? As an appetizer before dinner, plan roughly one generous serving per guest. As the main feature of a party, plan closer to two to three servings per guest.

For cups and boxes the math is easy, since each one is a single portion. For grazing tables and boards we scale the size of the spread to your headcount so nothing runs short and there is always more than enough throughout the event.

When in doubt, tell us your guest count and the occasion. We have sized hundreds of events and will recommend the right build so you are never guessing.
