- Best Feature: The deep, natural colour makes food look incredibly vibrant.
- Heads-up: It requires hand-washing, so not ideal for rapid dishwasher turnaround.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rose & Crown in Canterbury, Kent, wanted to refresh their tabletop presentation to better reflect their high-quality, locally sourced menu. They switched from traditional white plates to the Olympia CM063 slate boards for their popular sharing platters.
"The moment we started using them, the feedback was instant. Customers loved the rustic but smart look, and our food photos on social media have never looked better. They just make everything look more appetising and special."
Michael Edwards – General Manager
The change contributed to a significant increase in online engagement, with photos of their platters being shared widely by local food bloggers and customers, boosting their visibility and appeal.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Before first use, wash gently with a soft cloth and a mild detergent.
- Ensure the platter is completely dry before placing food on it.
- For a richer, deeper black, you can treat it with a light coating of food-safe mineral oil.
- Always check the protective feet on the base are clean and secure.
Keeping It Perfect
- Crucially: Never place in a commercial dishwasher or submerge in water.
- Simply wipe clean with a damp cloth after use.
- To remove stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap and rinse quickly.
- Store them flat in a dry area to prevent any damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this slate serving platter 280 x 180mm food safe?
A: Absolutely. It is made from natural slate and is perfectly safe for serving all types of food directly on its surface.
Q: Can I use knives to cut food on the platter?
A: It's not recommended. Cutting directly on the slate can damage the surface and will quickly blunt your knives.
Q: How do I clean it properly?
A: Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid submerging it in water or putting it in a dishwasher.
Q: Is the slate heat resistant?
A: Slate has natural heat-resistant properties and can handle warm dishes, but it should not be used in an oven or for serving sizzling hot food directly from a grill.
Q: Will it stain from oily foods like cheese or cured meats?
A: Slate is porous, but you can minimise staining by treating it occasionally with a food-safe mineral oil, which also enhances its colour.
Q: What are the stoppers on the bottom for?
A: They are soft, non-slip feet designed to protect your tabletops from scratches and to prevent the platter from sliding around during service.
Q: Are the edges sharp?
A: No, this model features specially machined smooth edges for a refined, safe, and comfortable handling experience.
Q: What is the quantity in one box?
A: This product is sold as a pack of two platters, offering great value.

Explore more from OlympiaMore Than Just a Detail: Why a Smooth Edge Matters
You might see 'smooth edges' listed as a feature and think it's a minor point, but in a busy commercial environment, it's crucial. Think of it like the difference between a rough-sawn plank and a piece of finely sanded furniture. Cheaper slate platters often have raw, chipped edges that are not only prone to flaking over time but can also be tricky to clean thoroughly and less pleasant to handle for both staff and customers.
The refined, smooth edges on this Olympia platter signify higher quality manufacturing. This means it's more durable, less likely to chip, safer to carry, and gives a far more professional and premium impression. It's a small detail that speaks volumes about your commitment to quality in every aspect of the dining experience.
