  • Standout Design: The wavy handle isn't just a gimmick; it's ergonomic and  looks fantastic.
  • High Maintenance: Needs consistent oiling to prevent drying out and  maintain its deep colour.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Mill on the Exe, a popular riverside pub in Exeter, wanted to refresh their lunchtime menu. Their old ceramic plates felt dated and  didn't do justice to their new range of premium sharing platters.

"We introduced a new 'Taste of Devon' sharing board and  needed something special to serve it on. The Olympia boards were perfect. The rustic look of the acacia wood perfectly complements our local produce, and  customers are always commenting on them. They feel substantial and  high-quality."

Michael Davies – Pub Landlord

The pub saw a 30% rise in sales of their sharing platters within two months, with the boards becoming a key feature in their social media photos.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before its first outing, give the board a quick wash in warm, soapy water.
  • Pat it completely dry with a clean, soft cloth – don't let it air dry.
  • Generously apply a food-safe mineral oil to all surfaces using a cloth.
  • Let the oil soak in for a few hours (or overnight is even better!), then wipe off any excess.

Keeping It Going

  • Rule number one: Never place it in a dishwasher or leave it soaking in the sink.
  • After use, a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth is all that's needed.
  • To prevent the wood from drying out and  cracking, re-apply a coat of oil every few weeks.
  • Store it flat in a dry, well-ventilated area to stop it from warping.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Serving Board

Need a hand picking the perfect platter? Here are a few things to keep in mind to make sure you get the right board for your business.

Consider the Size

Think about what you'll be serving. This large acacia wood serving board is brilliant for groups, but you might need smaller options for individual starters or sides.

Match the Material to the Job

Acacia offers a fantastic mix of rustic beauty and  toughness. If you need something for heavy-duty chopping, look for a dedicated chopping board, as this is designed for presentation.

Look for a Handle

A wooden serving board with handle, especially an ergonomic one like this wavy design, is far easier and  safer for staff to carry through a crowded restaurant.

Get the Vibe Right

Does the board's style fit your brand? The natural, earthy look of this wavy handled acacia board is perfect for gastropubs, farm-to-table restaurants, and  artisan cafés.

Be Honest About Upkeep

A wooden board requires a little love – namely, hand-washing and  regular oiling. The stunning visual payoff is worth it, but be sure your team knows the care routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is acacia wood food-safe?

A: Absolutely. Acacia is a popular choice for kitchenware and  is perfectly safe for serving food. We recommend maintaining it with a food-safe mineral oil.

Q: Can I use this as a chopping board?

A: It's designed primarily as a serving board. While it's durable, heavy knife work could scratch and  damage the beautiful surface over time.

Q: How heavy is the Olympia GM264 serving board?

A: It weighs just 0.65kg, making it surprisingly lightweight and  easy for staff to carry.

Q: Will the wood colour change or fade?

A: If left to dry out, it can lighten. Regular oiling will nourish the wood and  maintain its deep, rich colour.

Q: Is the handle actually comfortable to hold?

A: Yes, the wavy design is not just for looks; it's shaped to provide a comfortable and  secure grip.

Q: What is the purpose of the leather tag?

A: It adds to the premium, rustic aesthetic and  provides a handy loop for hanging storage.

Q: How resistant is it to staining from food like beetroot or balsamic glaze?

A: Acacia's natural oils provide good resistance, but it's always best practice to wipe away potent, dark-coloured foods promptly to avoid any chance of staining.

Q: Is the surface sealed with a varnish?

A: No, it has a natural finish to allow the wood to be properly oiled and  maintained, which is much better and  safer for direct food contact.

More Than Just Wood: The Acacia Advantage

Ever wondered why acacia wood is so popular for high-quality kitchenware? It's not just about the good looks. Acacia is a dense hardwood, naturally packed with oils that make it remarkably water-resistant. Think of it like a raincoat for wood; it helps to repel moisture, odours, and  stains from food, which is a huge plus in a busy commercial setting.

This is a world away from softer woods like pine, which can easily stain, warp when wet, or absorb strong smells from things like garlic or cheese. Because this Olympia GM264 serving board is made from a solid piece of acacia, you get all that natural durability without joints or glues that could fail over time. It’s nature’s own design, perfected for professional food presentation.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Gastropubs & Country Inns: The perfect restaurant wooden platter board for serving hearty ploughman's lunches, steak, or gourmet burger and  chips.
  • Delis & Wine Bars: Beautifully presents charcuterie selections, cheese boards, and  antipasti, enhancing the customer experience.
  • Artisan Bakeries & Cafés: An ideal way to showcase a selection of fresh pastries, cakes, or an acacia wooden sharing board with bread and  dips.
  • Event Caterers: A durable and  stylish option for serving canapés and  appetisers that is both portable and  visually appealing.
