Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Lavender Tea Room in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, was looking for a way to enhance their traditional afternoon tea service and  replace their ageing, mismatched plastic trays.

"We wanted our service to reflect the quality of our cakes and  scones. These Olympia bamboo trays are just beautiful; they’re sturdy, look the part, and  our customers have even commented on how lovely they are. They've really added to the whole experience."

Susan Clarke – Owner

Following the switch, the tea room noted a distinct increase in positive online reviews mentioning the quality of their presentation and  overall ambience.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Simply unbox the tray from its packaging.
  • Inspect for any damage that may have occurred during transit.
  • Give it a quick wipe with a damp, clean cloth before its first use.
  • It's ready to go – no assembly required!

Keeping It Going

  • Hand wash only. Never put in a commercial dishwasher.
  • Clean with a soft cloth, warm water, and  mild detergent.
  • Dry it thoroughly with a towel immediately after washing. Do not let it air dry.
  • To maintain its lustre, you can occasionally treat it with a food-safe mineral or bamboo oil.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Serving Tray

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few pointers to help you pick the perfect tray for your business.

Material Matters

Consider the look and  durability. Bamboo offers a warm, eco-friendly aesthetic, while plastic can be great for high-volume, functional use, and  metal provides a modern look.

Size and  Shape

Think about what you'll be serving. A large bamboo serving tray like this one is versatile, but you might need smaller, specific trays for certain drinks or dishes.

Handles and  Grip

Safety is paramount. Look for trays with integrated, comfortable handles that allow your staff to get a secure grip, reducing the risk of accidents.

Edges and  Lips

A tray with a raised edge or lip, like the Olympia GF204, is a massive advantage. It helps prevent items from sliding off and  contains minor spills.

Style and  Aesthetics

Your tableware is part of your brand. Choose a style that complements your décor and  the image you want to project, whether that's rustic, modern, or classic.

How Moisture-Resistance Protects Your Investment

Ever seen a wooden board warp or stain after a few spills? That's where the 'moisture-resistant' feature of this food service bamboo tray really shines. Unlike some traditional woods that act like a sponge, bamboo is naturally dense and  less porous. This means when a drink inevitably condensates or a small splash occurs, the liquid is less likely to soak in and  cause the tray to bend, crack, or stain over time.

Think of it like a waxed cotton jacket versus a regular woolly jumper in a light drizzle. The jacket beads water off, keeping you dry, while the jumper soaks it up. This tray is the waxed jacket of the serving world, giving you peace of mind that it will maintain its shape and  good looks, even in the fast-paced, splash-prone reality of food and  drink service.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Boutique Cafés: An ideal tray for serving speciality coffees, pastries, and  lunch orders with a warm, artisanal feel.
  • Hotels & B&Bs: Perfect for upgrading your room service presentation or for use in your breakfast dining room.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: A stylish restaurant wooden serving tray for delivering drinks or presenting sharing platters and  bread baskets to tables.
  • Pubs & Bars: A reliable choice for carrying rounds of drinks and  bar snacks through a crowded venue safely.
