SOME AT-TABLE
BASICS 1
Try to keep plates, glasses, bottles and cutlery that are needed for the course being served on the table – a crowded table can be uncomfortable for guests to sit at and lead to spillages and breakages.
2 By all means accept help from your guests if you feel comfortable doing so. If not, a smile and a thank you is always a good thing.
3 You can refill glasses yourself or invite guests to help themselves from open wines on the table. If you are refilling, be mindful that guests who are driving or are not big drinkers may prefer to take charge of their own.
4 Still or sparkling water at the table is always a good idea. Tap water with a slice of lemon in it is easy to prepare.
