Easter is all about bringing people together — and what better way to do that than with a beautifully arranged Easter food board? Whether you’re hosting a family lunch, a casual get-together with friends, or simply want to create something special at home, a festive food board is a simple yet impressive way to celebrate.
At Delícias UK, we love combining Portuguese and Brazilian flavours with the multicultural tastes of the UK. An Easter board is the perfect opportunity to mix traditions, colours, and textures into one inviting centrepiece.
Here’s how to build the perfect Easter food board.

- Start with a Balance of Sweet and Savoury
A great Easter board offers variety. Think about combining:
Savoury options:
Sliced roast meats or ham
Portuguese cheeses and cured meats
Salt cod cakes (pastéis de bacalhau)
Savoury folar (for a traditional Portuguese touch)
Olives and marinated vegetables
Sweet options:
Folar da Páscoa (sweet version)
Colomba Pascal
Mini chocolate eggs
Brigadeiros or other Brazilian sweets
Hot cross buns
This mix allows guests to graze freely and enjoy different flavours throughout the day.
- Add Colour and Freshness
Easter is a celebration of spring, so your board should feel vibrant and fresh.
Include:
Fresh berries
Grapes or sliced oranges
Carrot and cucumber sticks
Cherry tomatoes
Fresh herbs for garnish
Not only do these add freshness, but they also make your board visually appealing.
- Include Traditional Touches
What makes your Easter board special is the story behind it.
For Portuguese families, adding folar, cheese, and cured meats brings a taste of home. For Brazilian celebrations, colomba, chocolate eggs, and traditional sweets create that familiar festive feeling.
At the same time, including British favourites like hot cross buns or classic chocolates makes everyone feel included — reflecting the diversity of Easter celebrations across the UK.
- Think About Presentation
You don’t need anything complicated — just a large wooden board or serving platter.
Place larger items first (bread, cakes, bowls of olives).
Fill gaps with smaller items like chocolates and nuts.
Use small bowls for spreads or dips.
Mix textures and heights to create visual interest.
The goal is abundance and warmth — a board that invites people to gather around.
- Make It Easy and Enjoy the Moment
The beauty of an Easter food board is that it can be prepared in advance, reducing stress on the day. It’s perfect for busy households who want to celebrate without spending hours in the kitchen.
Most importantly, it encourages sharing, conversation, and connection — which is what Easter is truly about.
