Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Oakhill Inn in Bath, Somerset, was looking for a way to refresh their lunchtime menu presentation. They felt their classic white crockery didn't do justice to their new range of artisan sandwiches and  sharing starters.

"We switched from plates to these wavy handle serving boards and  the impact was immediate. They look absolutely brilliant on the tables and  on our Instagram feed. We’ve had so many customers ask where they can buy them! It really lifted the whole feel of our lunch service."

Robert Davies – Proprietor

The inn reported a notable increase in the sale of their sharing platters, crediting the new, more appealing presentation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before the first use, give the board a quick wash in warm, soapy water.
  • Dry it immediately and  thoroughly with a clean cloth – don't let it air dry.
  • Apply a light coating of food-safe mineral oil to season the wood and  bring out its colour.
  • Let the oil soak in for a few hours, then wipe off any excess.

Keeping It Going

  • Never, ever put your wooden board in the dishwasher or submerge it in water.
  • After each use, simply wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  • Re-apply a thin layer of oil every few weeks, or whenever it looks dry, to keep it hydrated.
  • Store flat in a dry area away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent warping.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Servingware

Not sure what fits your menu best? Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Consider the Size and  Shape

Match your board to your portion sizes. A small wooden presentation board is perfect for individual starters, while larger rectangular platters are ideal for sharing dishes. The shape can also add character.

Material Matters

Wood, like acacia, brings warmth and  rustic charm. Slate offers a modern, dramatic look, while classic white porcelain is endlessly versatile. Think about what best reflects your brand's style.

Think About the Upkeep

Be realistic about cleaning. Wooden boards often require hand-washing and  regular oiling to stay in top condition, but the visual payoff is enormous. Check care instructions before committing.

Build a Cohesive Collection

Does this piece fit with your existing tableware? Choosing servingware that complements your plates, bowls, and  cutlery creates a professional, considered look that customers will notice.

Focus on the Function

Is it just for presentation, or will staff be carrying it long distances? A lightweight board with a good handle, like this wavy handle serving board, can make a real difference to your front-of-house team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is acacia wood safe for direct contact with food?

A: Absolutely. Acacia is a non-toxic, dense hardwood that is naturally anti-bacterial, making it an excellent and  safe choice for serving food.

Q: Can I use this board for chopping?

A: While durable, we recommend using this board for presentation only to protect its beautiful surface from knife marks and  scoring.

Q: What is the best oil to use for maintenance?

A: Any food-grade mineral oil or a specialised chopping board conditioner is perfect. Avoid using cooking oils like olive oil, as they can go rancid.

Q: Will the board I receive look exactly like the picture?

A: As wood is a natural product, you can expect slight, beautiful variations in the grain pattern and  colour tone, which makes every single board unique.

Q: How sturdy is the wavy handle?

A: It's extremely sturdy. The board is crafted from a single, solid piece of acacia wood, so the handle is an integral and  robust part of its construction.

Q: Does the wood stain easily from foods like beetroot or berries?

A: Acacia is naturally water-resistant, but it's always best practice to wipe away strongly coloured or oily foods promptly to prevent any chance of staining.

Q: What is the purpose of the leather tag?

A: The leather tag is a stylish design detail that also provides a handy loop for hanging storage.

Q: Is this board heavy to carry?

A: No, at just 0.55kg, it is surprisingly lightweight, making it easy for staff to carry from the kitchen to the table, even when full.

Why is Acacia Wood a Cut Above the Rest?

Ever wonder why so many top-end serving pieces are made from acacia wood? It’s not just about its stunning looks. Acacia is a dense hardwood, which makes it naturally durable and  resistant to scratches – a huge plus in a busy commercial setting. Think of it like this: using a softer wood like pine for serving is like using a standard family car for a marathon rally. It might work for a bit, but it won’t last. Acacia wood, on the other hand, is naturally rich in oils which act as a built-in water-resistant barrier. This means it’s less likely to warp or stain from minor spills, standing up to the demands of daily service with just a little bit of simple care.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Gastropubs & Bistros: An excellent choice for serving gourmet burgers, ploughman's lunches, or elegant appetisers.
  • Trendy Cafés: The perfect acacia wood platter for restaurant-style displays of cakes, pastries, or savoury tarts.
  • Delis & Farm Shops: Ideal for creating tempting charcuterie or cheese tasting boards for customers to sample.
  • Boutique Hotels: A stylish and  sophisticated option for in-room dining or presenting welcome snacks.
