About Platterly
Serving boards, cheese knives and the gear for hosting well. Built for a reader with one specific thing to buy and no interest in reading a dozen tabs.
Platterly covers serving boards and entertaining: charcuterie and cutting boards, cheese knives, slate and serving accessories. Most guides put a handmade piece from an independent shop next to the mass-market option for the same job, because that is the real choice most people are weighing, and we say which one is worth the money and why.
Who writes here
Hannah Whitlock · Editor
Hannah runs Platterly and writes most of its guides. She has hosted a monthly cheese night for years and buys boards the way most people buy tools: by wood species, grain direction and how the thing holds up after fifty washes. Every pick here is chosen from listing specs and long-term owner reviews, and she says plainly when a product is one she has not used herself.
How we pay the bills
We earn a commission when you buy through our links, from Amazon and from Etsy shops through the Awin network. It costs you nothing extra and it never decides what we recommend. If a product is not worth buying we say so, and we regularly recommend the cheaper option. The full version is on our disclosure page.
