Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour Inn, a popular seaside eatery in Whitby, was struggling with generic serving boards that would crack and  warp under the heat of their famous sizzle platters. They needed a more durable and  professional solution that matched their coastal, rustic theme.

"We were replacing our serving boards every few months, which was both costly and  inconsistent for presentation. The Olympia bases are purpose-built for the job. They look fantastic, our staff find them easy to handle, and  they’ve shown no signs of wear and  tear.".

Robert Davies – Head Chef

After switching, the inn reported a 100% reduction in board replacements over the first year, saving money and  ensuring every sizzling dish was presented perfectly.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, give the base a quick inspection to ensure it's in perfect condition.
  • Wipe with a clean, damp cloth before its first use to remove any dust.
  • Ensure you have the compatible Olympia GG133 sizzle platter for a perfect, secure fit.
  • It's ready to go! No assembly or complicated setup required.

Keeping It Going

  • After use, always wipe clean with a damp cloth and  mild detergent if needed.
  • Dry the base thoroughly with a tea towel immediately after cleaning.
  • Crucially: Never submerge in water or put it in a commercial dishwasher.
  • To maintain its lustre, you can occasionally rub it with a food-safe mineral oil.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Presentation Ware

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few tips to help you pick the perfect presentation pieces for your business.

Material Matters

Wood creates a warm, rustic feel, slate offers a modern edge, and  cast iron is great for heat retention. Choose a material that complements your food and  your brand's style.

Check Compatibility

If buying pieces separately, like this base and  a sizzler, always double-check they are designed to work together. A secure fit is crucial for safety.

Consider the Size

Think about your portion sizes and  table space. A huge platter might look impressive, but it's no good if it doesn't fit on a table for two.

Define Your Style

Your serving ware is part of your brand's story. Ensure your choices, from a natural wood counter riser to elegant platters, create a cohesive look and  feel.

Factor in Durability and  Care

Look for items built for commercial use. Check the cleaning instructions – wipe-clean items like this save huge amounts of time in a busy service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this wooden base heatproof?

A: It is designed to be heat-resistant to safely hold a hot sizzle platter from the oven, but it is not fireproof and  should not be exposed to direct flame.

Q: Can I use it with sizzle platters from other brands?

A: It is specifically designed for a snug fit with the Olympia GG133 oval sizzler. We cannot guarantee a secure fit with other models.

Q: Is this Hevea wooden presentation stand dishwasher safe?

A: No. To maintain the integrity of the wood, it must only be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Never submerge it in water or place it in a dishwasher.

Q: Will the colour or grain be exactly as pictured?

A: As it is a natural wood product, each base has unique marbling and  grain patterns, so slight variations are a normal and  desirable characteristic.

Q: Can I use this as a small chopping board?

A: No, it is not designed for cutting or chopping. Using knives on the surface will damage it and  compromise its finish.

Q: Does the wood need to be oiled?

A: While not essential, applying a food-safe mineral oil periodically can help to preserve the wood's natural colour and  condition over time.

Q: How heavy is it to carry?

A: It's very lightweight, at just 320 grams, making it easy for waiting staff to handle during a busy service.

Q: What is the main benefit of Hevea wood?

A: It's a durable and  sustainable hardwood that is less prone to warping from heat compared to softer woods, making it ideal for this purpose.

What Customers Are Saying

"A brilliant, sturdy bit of kit. We bought 20 of these for our pub, and  they do the job perfectly. They protect the tables and  look much smarter than our old ones."

Mark L – Pub Owner, Bristol

"Really nice quality wood and  fits the Olympia sizzle pan like a glove. My only tiny niggle is I wish they stacked a bit more neatly, but that's a small price to pay."

Why Hevea Wood Makes All the Difference

Ever wondered what makes Hevea (or Rubberwood) so special for a product like this? It’s not just any timber. Think of it as a hardworking, eco-friendly choice. Hevea is a dense hardwood, which means it’s naturally more resistant to warping or cracking when exposed to the residual heat from a sizzle platter. Unlike softer woods that might scorch or bend over time, Hevea holds its shape. It’s the difference between a plate that stays flat and  one that starts to rock. Plus, it’s a sustainable material, typically harvested only after the tree has finished its lifecycle of producing latex, making this wooden presentation stand a smart choice for your kitchen and  the planet.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Steakhouses & Grill Pubs: Perfect for delivering those signature sizzling steaks and  fajitas with a professional, rustic flourish.
  • Tapas & Mexican Restaurants: Ideal for serving multiple hot sharing plates safely while enhancing the authentic, vibrant atmosphere.
  • Hotel Restaurants & Room Service: Adds a touch of class and  protects furniture when serving hot meals directly to guest rooms or tables.
  • Country Bistros & Cafés: A brilliant wooden food display stand to complement a rustic decor and  make 'specials' feel even more special.
