  • Top Marks For: Its versatility – brilliant as a bread board, cheese platter, or small sharing board.
  • Keep In Mind: It’s hand-wash only, so no shortcuts through the commercial dishwasher are possible.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Courtyard Deli, a bustling eatery in Shrewsbury, was looking to upgrade its presentation for their popular sharing platters and  artisan bread service to create a more premium feel.

"We needed something that looked the part but could handle a really busy lunch service. These boards were spot on. They add a touch of class without being fussy, and  our food just looks fantastic on them. Customers definitely notice the difference."

David Williams – Proprietor

The investment in better presentation helped them increase sales of high-margin sharing platters by over 20%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Prepping for Service

  • Give the board a quick wipe with a clean, damp cloth before its first use.
  • Ensure the board is completely dry before placing any food directly onto it.
  • It's ready to use straight from the box – no assembly required!
  • Consider how it fits with other Churchill Alchemy items to plan your display layout.

Keeping It Pristine

  • Always wipe clean with a damp cloth; never submerge it in water or put it in a dishwasher.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild, food-safe detergent and  wipe dry immediately.
  • To maintain the wood's natural lustre, you can occasionally treat it with a food-safe wood oil.
  • Store the boards flat in a dry area to prevent any warping over time.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Servingware

Not sure which servingware is right for your menu? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Size & Shape

Consider what you'll be serving most often. Long boards are great for baguettes, while wider boards like this one suit round loaves or cheese selections perfectly.

Material Matters

Wood offers a rustic, warm feel, while slate is modern and  ceramic is classic. Match the material to your restaurant's overall aesthetic and  brand.

Cleaning & Care

Check if items are dishwasher safe. Hand-wash only items like this restaurant wooden bread board require more staff time but often have a superior finish and  longevity.

Versatility is Key

Can the item be used for multiple purposes? A board for bread that can also serve starters or desserts offers the best value for money and  saves on storage space.

Stackability & Storage

In any professional kitchen, space is a luxury. Look for items that stack neatly and  don't take up excess room when they're not in use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the wood from a sustainable source?

A: Yes, this Churchill Alchemy wooden bread board is made from a 100% renewable resource, making it an environmentally conscious choice.

Q: Can I put this in the dishwasher?

A: No, this board is strictly wipe-clean only. Putting it in a dishwasher will damage the wood and  its protective finish.

A: It means the surface has been treated with a special coating that is non-toxic and  completely safe for direct contact with all types of food.

Q: Can I use this as a chopping board?

A: This product is supplied as a pack of four boards, offering great value.

Q: Will it stain easily from things like beetroot or balsamic glaze?

A: It is a specially designed collection of compatible risers, bowls, and  platters from Churchill that can be combined to create stylish, multi-level buffet displays.
