carving station

Roast slicing area

A carving station is a setup at a buffet or catered event where a cook slices meat to order—typically roast beef, ham, or turkey.

The station usually features the roast displayed on a cutting board with a heat lamp, and a uniformed attendant who portions slices for guests: The carving station had prime rib and honey-glazed ham.
