When we have friends and family around, rather than doing a full meal, we quite often do buffet food so everyone can help themselves. For these occasions, I always keep in a pack of Tesco Value Serving Platters. For the price of £2.50, you get 5 platters in a pack which means that each platter is only 50p, making the pack extra value for money. With them being from the Tesco Value range, you might expect the quality to be quite poor, especially as they are quite cheap but I have been using these for a good while now and have never had a problem with them at all, hence why I keep purchasing more when the need arises. The platters are a decent size ...  Read the complete review

I seem to be queen of the buffet recently, and these platters are an easy way of presenting and transporting food for parties and special occasions. I initially bought them for my daughter's first birthday party, and have actually re-used them since. Here is my review - **Price and Availability** The Tesco Value Platters are available in larger branches of Tesco supermarkets priced at £2.50 for five platters, making them a very reasonable 50p a platter. This is actually on par with Poundland where two comparable size platters are £1, which of course is ok if you only need two, but otherwise you'd need to buy six at a price of £3 if you needed five ...  Read the complete review

~ Tesco Value Platters ~ Having four children I have held a fair few childrens parties and I always buy platters to put the sandwiches on for ease of transportation from my house to where ever the party may be being held. I have always found they do the job well but can feel a little flimsy when they are full. The last time I bought these my father had arranged a charity event in aid of the British Heart Foundation in memory of my uncle who sadly passed away last year. My father didn't want to do a buffet but I felt that by offering a little something to eat people would be more likely to enjoy themselves more and stay longer, which meant more raffles, ...  Read the complete review

WHAT ARE THEY? A pack of 5 foil platter plates for serving sandwiches and other food at parties.  Tesco Value do 3 different platters in different pack sizes but I am concentrating on the oval ones that come in a pack of 5. THE DESIGN These are made of foil but they are strong enough to be reused if you are careful with them.  The platters are quite big and enough to hold sandwiches or cakes, the edges are raised up a bit so things don't slide off them while you are carrying them or when children are rummaging around in the food.  They are strong but do not feel very straight in my hands sometimes, the platters do not bend but if I have ...  Read the complete review

I mentioned in my Tesco Value Paper Plates review that my partner hosts matches for his junior teams against other out of area teams and when this happens we (meaning I) have to be a wonderful host and provide food and refreshments as when we travel to these games food is always put on for us so we are just doing the same for them. We (and I mean I!) generally just do cold party food items as they are easy to do and most kids will happily and easily eat them. I always used to take the food down to the pitch on my usual dinner plates but after a small accident where I had two plates smashed I decided to look for a new alternative and a few months ago I bought ...  Read the complete review
