Get into the spirit
Our gin flight tasting board is a must-have for the modern bar – favoured by local distilling superstars Prohibition Liquor Co, Ambra Spirits and Thirty Six Short. Combing sleek and modern design with rustic, old-world charm, our tasting paddles allow the presentation of multiple gin types, garnishes, and tonic water on a single board, completed with their respective logos.
Beer, Wine and Beyond
Our beer tasting boards are ideal for showcasing a selection of craft beers or even a brewery’s full range of offerings. They feature individual blind or through-hole positions for glasses of any size and an area for the brewery’s logo or branding. Coopers Brewery are just one success story.
Need something more flexible? We can also deliver branded wooden serving trays and boxes like this one for Haines and Co, ideal for any assortment of drinks and small dishes, cutlery, menus, condiments and serviettes.
Food and condiment presentation
Pubs and restaurants like Marion Hotel are also making great use of tasting paddles to add a touch of class while making service faster. Our tasting platters and boards are made from high-quality yet sustainable materials that can withstand heavy use and frequent cleaning, making them the ideal choice for busy hospitality establishments. Furthermore, we keep your design specs on file to make reorders fast and cost-effective.
Our custom wood platters also suit food presentation in a hospitality or retail setting. Beerenberg trust Lil Boxes for solid-timber jar and bottle holders. Custom made tasting boards are also the ideal solution for serving tapas to the table.
