What it costs
What a grazing table and cheese board costs, and what the rate already covers
A grazing table is the one station here that is not priced per plate. It is quoted per station, from ₹18,000 to ₹65,000, because it is sized by table length and produce rather than by how many guests walk past it. Quoted per station by length and produce, not per plate — the one booking we take under 100 guests.
Included in the per-plate rate
- Chefs and counter cooks for every station
- Uniformed stewards and an on-site supervisor
- Chafing equipment, counter facades and crockery
- Venue recce and counter layout plan before the date
- Full clearance, waste removal and venue handover
Quoted separately
- GST on the invoice
- Travel and logistics beyond Pune-Pimpri-Chinchwad or Lonavala
- Premium proteins, imported cheese and out-of-season produce
- Generator or power backup where the venue cannot supply it
- Extra service hours beyond the agreed window
How many you need
How many counters your guest count actually needs
One live counter per 75 guests is the planning figure we quote across every event. For this one specifically: grazed all evening rather than queued — built on site over two to three hours.
Sized by table length rather than by guest count, and quoted per station. A longer table, not a second one, is the usual answer, because two half-length tables lose the effect that the table is for.
| Guests | Live counters | Service staff | Setup time | Typical dishes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 2 | 5-6 | 3 hrs | 12-14 |
| 250 | 3-4 | 10-12 | 4 hrs | 16-18 |
| 500 | 5-6 | 20-24 | 5 hrs | 18-22 |
| 1,000+ | 8+ | 40+ | 6 hrs | 22-30 |
Read the counters column as counters of every kind, not three of this one. At 250 guests a spread of three to four stations is normal, of which this counter is usually one — two only where it is carrying the meal rather than joining it.

The answers below are specific to this counter — the equipment it shares, the ingredient that is usually missed, and what actually changes on the card.
Placement and timing
Where this counter stands, and when we open it
Built before guests arrive and left standing all evening. It is the one station here that is never opened, only replenished — which is also why it is the first thing photographed.
We set this counter up across Pune City, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Hadapsar-Kharadi, Lonavala to Khandala and Panchgani to Mahabaleshwar, including farmhouse, lawn and resort venues where the power and the cover have to travel with us.
Where it fits
Events this grazing table and cheese board suits
Not every counter belongs at every function. These are the three it is booked for most, and why.
Engagement
At an intimate evening it is the room's centrepiece and its photo backdrop before it is food.
Sundowner
It stands all evening with no service staff at it, which is exactly right for a terrace where nobody sits down.
Product Launch
A styled table takes brand colours, props and signage in a way a row of chafing dishes cannot.

What does the grazing table and cheese board need at the venue?
Sized by table length, with 3 feet clear on every side for guests. Power and fuel: no power or gas needed — the table is built and styled cold.
When during the event does the grazing table and cheese board open?

Can we book the grazing table and cheese board on its own?
Yes — counter-wise booking is standard with us. Add it to a buffet, combine it with two or three other counters, or run it alone at a smaller function.
Is there a vegetarian, Jain or vegan version of the grazing table and cheese board?
A fully vegetarian board is standard: the cured meats are replaced with marinated vegetables, antipasti and more cheese, not simply left out and the gap closed with crackers. Cheese is the vegetarian and Jain catch on this counter. Most imported hard cheeses are made with animal rennet, so a vegetarian board is built only from cheeses we can confirm are rennet-free. A vegan board runs on nut-based cheeses, hummus, tapenade, dukkah, olives, fruit and dairy-free breads, and from across the room it reads exactly the same as the standard one.
Which areas do you set this counter up in?
All of Pune city, Pimpri-Chinchwad, the Hinjewadi-Wakad corridor, Hadapsar-Kharadi, the Lonavala-Khandala belt and Panchgani-Mahabaleshwar, including farmhouse and resort venues on the expressway and in the hills.
