Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling café in Bath, wanted to refresh their popular ploughman's lunch and make it more of a shareable experience for pairs and groups.
"We switched from individual wooden boards to this revolving slate platter and the customer reaction was instant. It feels more communal and looks fantastic in photos. Our lunch service feels more dynamic, and people really enjoy the novelty of spinning it around to pick what they want."
Robert Finch – Owner
The change led to a noticeable increase in social media tags for their lunch specials, providing valuable free marketing.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash gently with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
- Apply a thin layer of food-safe mineral oil with a soft cloth to season the slate and enrich its colour.
- Ensure the surface you place it on is flat and stable to allow for a smooth rotation.
- Check that the non-slip feet are clean to ensure maximum grip on the tabletop.
Keeping It Going
- Always hand wash. Never place in a commercial dishwasher as high heat and harsh detergents can damage the slate.
- Avoid using abrasive sponges or scouring pads which could scratch the surface.
- Re-apply a light coating of food-safe oil every few weeks, or whenever the slate looks dry or faded.
- Store it flat in a dry place, avoiding stacking heavy items on top to prevent chipping or cracking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the slate genuinely food safe?
A: Yes, it is. For best results and to create a non-porous surface, it should be seasoned with a food-safe mineral oil before first use and periodically thereafter.
Q: How do I clean this revolving platter slate turntable?
A: It's strictly hand-wash only. Use a soft cloth with warm water and a mild dish soap, then dry it completely. Avoid soaking it in water.
Q: What kind of oil should I use to maintain it?
A: Any food-grade mineral oil is perfect. You can find it in most supermarkets or hardware shops. A little goes a long way!
Q: Is the revolving mechanism noisy?
A: No, it's designed for a smooth and quiet rotation, so it won't interrupt the ambience of your dining room.
Q: Does the slate scratch or stain easily?
A: Natural slate can show marks from cutlery, which many feel adds to its rustic character. Oily foods won't stain if the slate is properly seasoned.
Q: Can I put hot dishes on it?
A: It's best suited for cold or room-temperature foods like cheese, charcuterie, and desserts. Extreme, direct heat could cause the slate to crack.
Q: How stable is it when rotating?
A: It's very stable. The combination of its 2.16kg weight and the non-slip feet ensure it stays firmly in place during use.
Q: Will the black colour fade over time?
A: The deep black colour can lighten slightly as it dries out. Regularly applying a thin layer of food-safe oil will restore its rich, dark lustre instantly.
