A hall containing over 4,000 of the world's greatest cheeses would inspire an appetite in most people - but thanks to some well laid out banqueting furniture, the recent Nantwich International Cheese Awards catered for all of its guests in style.
This year's event saw more than 4,500 entries judged in a range of categories, including divisions for smoked cheese, hard-pressed speciality cheese and lighter cheese with fat content of 17-24%.
One of the judges in the above categories was Jane Arschavir, a cheese enthusiast and blogger at HodgePodgeDays, who pictured the lunch hall as it began to fill up, with her tweet adding: "A small intimate lunch for 1,200."
Her photographs, one of which is featured here, showed the carefully laid out banqueting furniture all ready for the many judges, competitors and spectators to file in ready for their midday break.
And as the tables became occupied, it was clear that everybody present had been carefully accommodated and well fed, ready to return to the judging hall for a busy afternoon's tasting and testing.
In her blog post following the event, Jane wrote that the 2014 event was a chance to meet new people, enjoy a delicious lunch and, of course, taste plenty of world-beating cheese.
This year she was hoping for more of the same - but after being asked to judge four categories, her experience in 2015 turned out to be even better than expected.
If you are hosting any kind of event with large numbers in attendance, especially if there is a food theme to the proceedings, it is sensible to make sure everybody is not only well fed, but that they can all be seated and accommodated in the dining hall at the same time, so nobody is left waiting.
Good banqueting furniture can do exactly that, with anywhere between about eight and ten people - or even more - seated around each circular table, and plenty of room left in between for passers-by to walk past without jostling the diners.
Circular tables can be folded up and rolled away if the space needs to be cleared after lunch for afternoon activities, or of course they can be safely stacked on to a table trolley and wheeled away into storage.
