Expert Review and Insights
The Olympia acacia board is a real workhorse with a touch of class. It nails the rustic-chic look that's so popular right now, but it's the practical details like the ramekin indent and smooth edges that make it a winner for busy services. It feels substantial without being clunky, and the natural wood grain means no two are exactly alike, which adds real character to the tabletop.

- Best for: The integrated ramekin holder is brilliant for preventing spills during service.
- Bear in mind: It requires hand-washing only to protect the wood's natural finish.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The King's Head in Chester, a historic pub, wanted to refresh its lunchtime menu presentation without a complete overhaul of its crockery. Their standard white plates felt a bit dated for their new range of 'posh' burgers and sharing starters.
"We switched to these acacia boards and the feedback was instant. Customers started taking photos of their food before they'd even picked up a fork! They just make everything look more appealing and substantial. Our steak sandwich on this board looks twice as good as it did on a plain plate."
David Mitchell – Pub Manager
The pub noted a 15% increase in sales of their sharing platters within the first month, attributing it directly to the improved, more premium presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack and check for any transit damage.
- Give the board a quick wipe with a damp, clean cloth before first use.
- Consider applying a food-safe wood oil to season the board, which enhances its colour and longevity.
Keeping It Going
- After use, wipe clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
- Never, ever submerge the board in water or put it in a commercial dishwasher.
- Dry it upright to allow air to circulate around all sides evenly.
- Re-apply food-safe mineral oil every few weeks or whenever the wood looks dry to keep it in tip-top condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this board dishwasher safe?
A: No. To protect the integrity and finish of the acacia wood, this board should only be washed by hand with a damp cloth.
Q: Can I use it as a cutting board?
A: While acacia is a hardwood, using sharp knives directly on the surface is not recommended as it will score the wood and damage the finish over time. It's designed for presentation.
Q: What is the recess in the corner for?
A: The 70mm indent is designed to securely hold a small ramekin or sauce pot, preventing it from sliding around the board during transit from kitchen to table.
Q: How heavy is the board?
A: It's surprisingly light for its size, weighing just 0.85kg, making it easy for staff to carry.
Q: Is the acacia wood treated and food safe?
A: Yes, the board is finished to be completely food safe, ready for presenting all types of dishes.
Q: Can it handle hot food, like a steak or burger?
A: Absolutely. It's perfect for serving hot food straight from the kitchen. Just avoid placing extremely hot cast iron pans or dishes directly from the oven onto it.
Q: Is every board identical in appearance?
A: No, and that's part of their charm! As a natural wood product, each acacia food display board will have a unique grain pattern and slight variations in colour.
Q: How do I stop the wood from drying out?
A: Simply wipe a small amount of food-safe mineral oil onto the board with a cloth every few weeks. This will nourish the wood and keep it looking rich and vibrant.

Ever wondered what makes acacia wood so good for a serving platter? It's not just about the lovely, warm appearance. Acacia is a hardwood, which means it's naturally dense and highly resistant to scratches and water damage – a must-have quality in a busy kitchen. Think of it like the difference between a regular t-shirt and a proper outdoor jacket; both cover you, but the jacket is built to handle the rough stuff. This natural durability means the board won't easily stain or absorb odours, and with simple care, it will keep its handsome looks for years. It's that perfect blend of natural beauty and commercial-grade toughness.
