Eating Dairy and Meat at the Same Table

From Halachipedia
  1. It is forbidden for one person to eat meat and another person to eat dairy at the same table. [1] This also applies both to poultry and dairy.[2]
  2. It is permitted to leave a meat dish and a dairy dish next to one another on a serving table or the kitchen counter, from where people aren't eating.[3]
  3. It is permitted for one person to eat fish at the same table as someone eating meat. [4]
  4. It is only forbidden for one person to eat meat at the same table as someone eating dairy if both people are familiar with each other. For example, if a person is eating meat at a public table next to someone eating dairy and they don't know one another, it is permitted. [5]
