ABSTRACT:
A plate section includes a planar inner section, surrounded by a raised lip. A cup holder for holding a beverage container is attached to the plate section by an intermediate section. A hand grip extends downward from the intermediate section. The hand grip is hollow and provides space for tableware and condiments. Also, the hand grip has a plurality of serrations to facilitate gripping the hand grip. A plurality of supports extend downward from the plate section to provide additional support to the plate section when the food and beverage tray is placed upon a supporting a surface. The supports are spaced apart so as to extend downward on opposite sides of a person's arm when the food and beverage tray is held. A supplemental beverage container holder, including a pair of supplemental cup holders, connected by a supplemental intermediate section, may be inserted into the rest of the food and beverage tray. A supplemental hand grip extends downward from the supplemental intermediate section. One of the supplemental cup holders can be placed into the cup holder, and the supplemental hand grip can be placed into the hand grip, to form a food and beverage tray capable of holding two beverage containers.
