The initial glimpse of the table setting is often the starting point in setting the tone and creating the ambiance for the evening ahead. The correct and accurate setting of cutlery, wine and water glasses symmetrically located across the table, serving dishes to anticipate the first course and much more are contributing factors to setting the perfect dinner table.
Here at Posh&Pans, we've outlined 5 secrets to help you create the perfect dinner table.
1. Glass locations - water glass should be located to the right of the plate, directly above the knife with all other glasses placed to the right of the water glass in order in which they will be used.
2. Cutlery - knife and spoon are to the right of the plate and forks to the left. Cutlery should be placed in order of use, working from the outside in with each course.
3. Plates - side plate/bread & butter plates are located to the left of the dinner plate.
4. Dessert - spoon and fork should be provided for eating dessert to provide the guest with the cutlery option. A fork is often preferable for set desserts such as tarts or cheesecakes.
5. Arrangement - make sure your guests are comfortable, leave as much space between chairs as the table permits to provide elbow room with table settings symmetrical with opposite places.
Setting a formal dinner table is logical with the same structure applicable to all occasions. Once you have mastered the structure, the process becomes second nature. Relax, enjoy the food and the time together with your guests and be confident you have set the perfect dinner table!
