Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rutland Pantry, a popular deli in Oakham, wanted to enhance their morning bread display. They were using standard stainless steel trays which felt cold and didn't match their rustic, locally-sourced ethos. They switched to a set of these Olympia wicker baskets to create a warmer, more appealing countertop.
"It's such a simple switch but the visual impact was immediate. The baskets make our bread look fantastic and fit our brand perfectly. Customers have even commented on how lovely the display is now, which never happened with the old trays."
Robert Finch – Owner
After the change, they noted a clear 15% increase in the sale of individual pastries and rolls within the first two months, which they attribute directly to the improved presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, simply unbox the basket.
- Give it a quick wipe with a clean, slightly damp cloth to remove any dust from transit.
- For unwrapped goods, consider using a cloth napkin or branded greaseproof paper as a liner.
- Place it on your counter, fill with your delicious products, and you're ready to sell!
Keeping It Going
- At the end of each day, turn the basket upside down and shake gently to remove crumbs.
- Wipe the interior and exterior with a damp cloth – never soak the wicker in water.
- Allow the basket to air dry completely before using it again.
- Avoid using harsh chemical sprays or abrasive sponges, as they can damage the natural fibres.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this basket suitable for holding hot, fresh-from-the-oven bread?
A: It's best to let bread cool for a few minutes before placing it in the basket to prevent steam from making the crust soft. Using a cloth liner can also help absorb any excess moisture.
Q: Can I use this for displaying fruit as well?
A: Absolutely. It works brilliantly as a rustic fruit bowl for apples, oranges, and bananas on a counter or buffet.
Q: How do I clean it if something sticky spills inside?
A: Use a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap to gently scrub the affected area, then wipe with a clean damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely.
Q: Is the wicker smooth or could it snag delicate pastries?
A: The weave is generally smooth, but for very delicate items like croissants, we always recommend using a paper or cloth liner for protection and perfect presentation.
Q: Is the colour consistent between baskets?
A: As wicker is a natural material, you can expect very slight, charming variations in tone and texture from one basket to another.
Q: Is this basket sturdy enough to be carried around when full?
A: Yes, it's designed with a strong, rigid weave that can easily support the weight of bread or fruit when being moved.
Q: What is the exact diameter of the basket?
A: The external width is 360mm, making it a generous size for display purposes.
Q: Does this basket require any self-assembly?
A: No, it arrives as a single, fully-assembled piece ready for immediate use.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy Natural Wicker is More Than Just a Pretty Face
It’s easy to think of a wicker bread display basket as just a style choice, but the material itself offers a practical advantage. Unlike a solid plastic tub or a metal tray which can trap air and moisture, the woven construction of natural wicker is breathable. Think of it like a safety net for your crusts! The tiny gaps in the weave allow air to circulate gently around the bread. This helps to prevent the bottom of your loaves from ‘sweating’ and going soft, keeping that delicious, crunchy crust intact for longer while it's out on display. It’s a small, natural detail that helps you serve your product in its best possible condition.
