Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner House Bistro in Norwich was looking for a way to enhance their popular skillet-cookie dessert and  protect their new oak tables from heat marks. They switched from using standard plates to the Olympia GJ554 dish with this matching wooden base.

"The moment we started serving desserts on these, customers took notice. They look fantastic, protect the tables perfectly, and  just make the whole dish feel more special. It's a small change that has had a big impact on perception and  practicality."

Michael Davies – Owner

The bistro eliminated table damage from hot dishes and  reported that dessert sales increased by over 20% in the following quarter, with customers frequently mentioning the presentation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack the base from its protective packaging.
  • Give it a quick wipe with a clean, damp cloth before its first use.
  • It's ready to go! Simply place your hot Olympia GJ554 dish into the recessed area.

Keeping It Going

  • After use, wipe clean with a damp cloth and  mild detergent if needed.
  • Crucially, do not submerge it in water or put it in the dishwasher.
  • Allow it to air dry completely before stacking or storing.
  • Periodically check for any deep scratches or excessive wear.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Presentation Boards & Trivets

Not sure what fits best with your menu? Choosing the right presentation ware can make all the difference. Here are a few things to keep in mind to ensure you get the perfect match for your establishment.

Check the Size & Fit

Ensure the board or trivet is large enough for your dishes but won't overcrowd your tables. If it's for a specific dish, like this one, check for compatibility.

Material Matters

Wood provides a warm, rustic charm ideal for pubs and  bistros. Slate offers a modern, sleek look, while cast iron is perfect for keeping food hot.

Consider the Heat

If you're serving sizzling dishes, you need a material designed to handle high temperatures and  protect surfaces, like a purpose-built wooden or cast-iron trivet.

Think About Cleaning

Look for sealed or non-porous surfaces. Easy-to-clean items save valuable time during and  after a busy service. Always check if an item is dishwasher safe.

Storage & Stackability

Where will these live when not in use? Uniform, stackable items are a huge space-saver in a packed-out commercial kitchen or storage area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I put this wooden base in the dishwasher?

A: No, definitely not. It is wipe-clean only. Submerging it in water or using a dishwasher will damage the wood and  cause it to warp or split.

Q: Is this wooden base compatible with any hot plate?

A: It is specifically designed to provide a perfect, stable fit for the Olympia cast-iron eared dish (GJ554). Using it with other dishes may not provide the same stability.

Q: What exactly is Hevea wood?

A: Hevea is a strong, sustainable hardwood from the rubber tree. It's known for its density and  resistance to warping, making it ideal for kitchen and  tableware.

Q: Will a very hot dish scorch or burn the wood?

A: The base is designed to act as a heat-resistant barrier to protect your table. While extreme, direct heat could leave a mark over time, it's built to withstand the temperatures of dishes straight from the oven.

Q: What are the exact dimensions of this commercial table lamp base?

A: It measures 210mm in diameter and  stands 19mm high. It's a wooden tabletop lamp holder in name, but its purpose is a base for a hot serving dish.

Q: Is the surface treated or oiled?

A: The base comes with a smooth, natural finish. You can apply a food-safe wood oil periodically to maintain its lustre and  add a layer of protection if you wish.

Q: How much does it weigh? Is it easy for staff to handle?

A: It’s very lightweight at just 0.31kg, making it extremely easy for waiting staff to carry and  manoeuvre, even on a busy service.

Q: Is the Olympia GJ555 lamp holder stable on the table?

A: Yes, its wide, flat bottom provides excellent stability on any level surface, preventing wobbles when serving.

Why Hevea Wood is a Smart Choice for Your Tabletops

You might just see 'wood', but the choice of Hevea is a clever one. Hevea, also known as rubberwood, is a sustainable hardwood that's a by-product of the latex industry. Once a rubber tree stops producing latex, the wood is harvested for furniture and  equipment like this. It’s not just eco-friendly; it's also incredibly practical. It has a dense grain, which makes it very stable and  far less likely to warp or crack from the residual heat of a serving dish compared to softer woods like pine. Think of it as the sweet spot between style and  strength – you get the beautiful, natural look you want, with the resilience you absolutely need in a demanding commercial environment.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bistros & Cafes: Ideal for presenting special baked dishes like macaroni cheese or hot dips with flair and  safety.
  • Gastropubs: The perfect way to serve sizzling sausages, steak platters, or baked camembert to sharing tables.
  • Mexican & Tapas Restaurants: Absolutely essential for serving sizzling fajitas, gambas al pil pil, or patatas bravas authentically.
  • Hotel Restaurants: Adds a touch of rustic sophistication to room service or restaurant-quality in-room dining presentations.
