Frequently Asked Questions
How do I order a Board or Gift Basket ?
We have many different options! You can shop directly online if you head over to the “Shop” Section on our site. You can also head to the "Contact Us" Section and sent us a note, or reach out directly via email at bonappetitct@att.net or give the store a call at 203-248-0648. Let us know what you're looking for, preferred size and/or number of people you're serving and date and time of your event. We'll then work together to chose the perfect option for you. Payment for all orders are expected at the time of your order.
How do I Inquire about or order a Grazing Table?
You can also head to the "Contact Us" Section and sent us a note, or reach out directly via email at bonappetitct@att.net or give the store a call at 203-248-0648 and ask for Valerie. Let us know what you're looking for, preferred size and/or number of people you're serving and date, location and time of your event. We'll then work together to chose the perfect option for you.
How far in advance should I place my order?
The sooner the better! Rule of thumb, if you're thinking about ordering, we would recommend reaching out to us as early as possible. However, if you're in a jam or need a last minute appetizer to bring to friend's house, we ask for at a minimum, 24 hours. If you are really in a pitch give us a call and we will see what we can do.
What do I do with the board when I'm finished, do I have to give it back to you?
It's yours to keep!
Do you provide the physical table for the Grazing Table?
Not at this time. The client is responsible for providing an adequate space for us to create a spread upon. If you're not interested in renting a table, we can certainly create "tables" on various counters, islands and other surfaces within the home. If you need any table rental recommendations we are happy to help with that.

How does set-up/ clean-up work if I want a Grazing Table at my event?
For flat lay grazing tables (no rentals provided by us) we typically require 2 hours of set up time at the location/venue depending on the amount of people being served. Since we do not need our rentals back and everything included in the table is disposable, clean up is a breeze. Just roll up the butcher paper and throw away the scraps! For multi-dimensional the same amount of time is required for set up (approximately 2 hours depending) and the customer is responsible for making sure the rentals are free of large particles of food and returning rentals to the shop located at 2979 Whitney Ave, Hamden, CT.
What about plates, napkins and cutlery?
We do not provide plates or napkins, and generally we try to put out a spread that requires no cutlery - however, plates and napkins can be added-on if desired. We offer a great option for an disposables, so feel free to inquire about them! We do however, provide all necessary serving items.
Do you have a store front?
We sure do! 2979 Whitney Ave, Hamden, CT 06518
