  • Aesthetic Appeal: The stunning, unique wood grain makes every dish look more premium.
  • Care Requirements: Requires hand-washing and  occasional oiling, so not as simple as ceramic.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Tawny Owl, a charming gastropub in Harrogate, wanted to move away from standard white plates for their popular sharing platters to better reflect their cosy, countryside setting. They needed something that was both durable and  stylish.

"Our customers absolutely love these boards. We've had so many positive comments on the presentation, and  they really make our local produce stand out. They just feel right for the food we serve and  the atmosphere we want to create."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

Since introducing the Utopia olive wood platters, the pub has seen a 25% increase in the sale of its sharing boards, proving that great presentation directly impacts customer choice.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, wash the platters with warm, soapy water and  dry immediately.
  • Apply a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil or a specialised board cream.
  • Let the oil soak in for several hours or overnight, then wipe off any excess.
  • Your boards are now seasoned and  ready for service!

Keeping It Going

  • Always hand wash. Never put olive wood in a dishwasher as it will crack and  warp.
  • Do not soak the boards in water. Clean and  dry them straight after use.
  • Re-apply food-safe oil once a month, or whenever the wood looks dry, to preserve its life.
  • Store in a dry place away from extreme temperatures.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Serving Platters

Not sure which serving ware is right for your business? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Material Matters

Wood brings warmth and  a rustic feel, slate is dramatic and  modern, while porcelain is a classic all-rounder. Think about the overall vibe of your establishment.

Size and  Shape

Consider what you'll be serving. Large oval or rectangular boards are great for sharing platters, while smaller individual pieces work well for starters or sides.

Durability for Service

Look for materials built for commercial use. A sturdy, well-made wooden board like this Utopia DC117 platter will handle the knocks of a busy service better than a domestic alternative.

Aesthetics & Branding

Your tableware is part of your brand. Choose pieces that complement your decor, menu, and  the story you want to tell your customers.

Ease of Care

Be realistic about what your team can handle. Porcelain is often dishwasher safe, whereas wood and  slate require specific hand washing and  care routines to stay in top condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these boards dishwasher safe?

A: No. To preserve the wood and  prevent cracking, they must be washed by hand with warm water and  mild soap, then dried immediately.

Q: Do I need to oil the boards?

A: Yes, we highly recommend it. A monthly rub with a food-safe mineral oil will keep the wood hydrated, prevent cracking, and  maintain its beautiful lustre.

Q: Is every board identical?

A: No. As a natural product, each 400mm olive wood board has a unique grain pattern, and  there can be slight variations in the exact shape and  size.

Q: What are these best used for?

A: They are incredibly versatile. They excel as platters for cheese, charcuterie, antipasti, bread, and  even for presenting burgers or desserts in a rustic style.

Q: Can I use these as chopping boards?

A: They are designed primarily as a wooden food presentation board. While they are durable, using sharp knives for heavy chopping will likely score and  mark the surface.

Q: How many platters are in one pack?

A: These are sold in a box of six platters, offering great value for setting up your service.

Q: Is the wood naturally safe for food?

A: Yes, olive wood has natural antibacterial properties, making it an excellent and  hygienic choice for serving food directly on its surface.

Q: Are they heavy to carry?

A: They have a reassuring, solid weight which speaks to their quality and  durability, but they are not unmanageably heavy for serving staff.
