Emily Hart – Tableware View Profile →
- Best in Class: The size is genuinely practical for large sharing dishes, unlike smaller domestic versions.
- Handle with Care: Requires hand-washing only, so it's not suitable for a 'throw-it-all-in' dishwasher setup.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Star Inn, a popular gastropub in Harrogate, recently invested in new solid oak tables but was concerned about damage from their signature sizzling platters. They needed a solution that was both protective and complemented their high-end, rustic aesthetic.
"These wooden trivets were exactly what we were looking for. They look fantastic, protect the tables perfectly, and our customers have even commented on how lovely they are. They feel like part of the furniture, not just an afterthought."
Robert Davies – General Manager
The investment immediately eliminated heat damage, preserving the pub's new furniture and enhancing the overall presentation of their most popular dishes.

Keeping It Going
- Never place in a dishwasher or submerge in water.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these trivets dishwasher safe?
A: No. To preserve the wood's integrity and finish, these trivets must be hand-washed only. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is all that's needed.
Q: Can I use these for extremely hot cast iron skillets straight from the oven?
A: Yes, they are designed as a heat resistant wooden trivet and are perfect for protecting tables from sizzling hot pans and dishes served directly from the kitchen.
Q: How do I stop the wood from drying out or cracking?
A: We recommend periodically rubbing the trivets with a food-safe mineral or butcher block oil. This nourishes the wood and keeps it looking its best.
Q: Is the colour and grain the same on every trivet?
A: As acacia is a natural material, expect slight, beautiful variations in the grain pattern and colour tone from piece to piece. This is part of their unique charm.
Q: What's the main benefit of a wooden trivet over a metal one?
A: Wood offers a softer, more natural aesthetic that can feel warmer and more premium. It's also less likely to scratch delicate table surfaces compared to some metal alternatives.
Q: Can I use these as a small chopping board?
A: While the wood is durable, we don't recommend using these as a chopping board, as knife marks will damage the smooth surface finish.
Q: How thick are the trivets?
A: These are designed to be substantial enough to provide excellent heat protection while remaining sleek and not overly chunky on the table.
Q: What does 'Art de Cuisine' mean?
A: Art de Cuisine is a contemporary and stylish brand from Churchill, designed to offer creative and versatile solutions for modern food presentation in a professional setting.

Explore more from ChurchillMore Than Just Good Looks: The Strength of Acacia Wood
Ever wondered why acacia wood is so popular for high-quality kitchenware? It’s not just about the beautiful, warm grain. Acacia is a hardwood that’s naturally dense and packed with oils, making it incredibly durable and more water-resistant than many other woods. Think of it like the difference between a standard saloon car and a classic Land Rover. While other woods might look good on a smooth road, acacia is built to handle the bumps and spills of a tough environment – just like a Land Rover handles rough terrain. This natural resilience means this heat resistant wooden trivet won't easily scratch, warp, or absorb stains, making it the perfect long-lasting choice for a busy commercial wood table protector that sees daily action.
Who Should Buy This?
- Gastropubs & Country Inns: Ideal for serving sizzling steak skillets or sharing pies while protecting rustic wooden tables.
- Boutique Hotels: A stylish way to present room-service meals or protect surfaces from hot coffee carafes.
- Indian & Pan-Asian Restaurants: Perfectly sized for presenting hot balti dishes and karahi bowls directly to the table.
- Cafés & Delis: Use as a charming base for presenting cheese boards, ploughman's lunches, or charcuterie platters.
