Create effortless Festive Sharing Platter ideas with Stockan’s Oatcakes – from cheeseboards to canapés and sweet treats.
There’s something about December – the mix of cold days, bright lights and shared food that feels a little more meaningful. It’s a month filled with gatherings, last-minute plans, and the kind of evenings that call for good company and something to nibble on.
That’s where a well-stocked cupboard comes in handy. A packet of Stockan’s Oatcakes, some cheese, chutney, and fruit can turn into the start of a Christmas snack board or a few festive nibbles to enjoy by the fire.
The best boards aren’t complicated – they’re built from food you love to eat. Start with a base of Stockan’s Thin or Thick Oatcakes, add a few cheeses (a creamy brie, a sharp cheddar, or a crumbly blue), and fill the gaps with chutneys, fruit, or spiced nuts.
You don’t need a plan – just flavours that work together and textures that keep things interesting. It’s the kind of food that brings people together without any fuss – a table that looks good, tastes better, and doesn’t take all day to prepare.
Oatcakes might be known for cheese boards, but they hold their own well beyond that. Try them as a base for canapés – topped with smoked salmon, pâté, or roasted vegetables. Go sweet with lemon meringue on Mini Oatcakes, a sharp and crunchy twist on dessert that’s perfect for Christmas tables or after-dinner treats.
These small details make festive hosting feel effortless – the kind of touches guests remember.
From cheeseboard suppers to quick lunches, our oatcakes are a small reminder that simple food, made well, never goes out of season.
If you’re hosting over the winter months, keep a packet of Thin or Thick Oatcakes close by. They pair with everything from cheese to chutney and make last-minute snack boards look effortless – proof that sometimes it’s the smallest details that make the biggest impression.
As the year ends, we want to wish you a warm, happy Festive Season filled with good food, good company, and (of course) a few oatcakes.
Here’s to more shared tables and meaningful moments in 2026.
