This Olympia rectangular tray is made from acacia wood and is intended for food presentation and service in buffet, hospitality, and café environments. The natural grain and warm colouring of acacia make it a practical choice where operators want to move away from standard laminate or melamine trays without moving to a fragile or high-maintenance material.

Acacia is a reasonably hard-wearing timber that holds up well in front-of-house use. It is well suited to displaying bread, charcuterie, cheese, pastries, and similar items at a buffet counter or on a table, where presentation carries as much weight as practicality. At this size it works comfortably as an individual sharing board or as part of a larger display arrangement.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical points are:

  • Natural wood surface presents food well without additional dressing or liners
  • Solid construction handles everyday front-of-house use without flexing
  • Lightweight at under 1kg, easy to carry and reposition during service
  • Suitable for dry foods — not designed for wet or sauced dishes without a liner
  • Wipe-clean between services; not suitable for dishwasher use

It is worth noting that acacia trays require a degree of care to maintain their appearance over time. They should be hand-washed and dried promptly rather than soaked or machine-washed, and occasional oiling will help preserve the surface. For operators running high-turnover buffet services where trays go through the dishwasher several times a day, a laminate or melamine option is likely to be more practical.

This tray is best suited to hotels, event caterers, café operators, and hospitality venues where presentation matters and the front-of-house team can manage routine care. If you are equipping a larger display or need to match it within an existing tableware scheme, it is worth having a conversation with us before ordering in volume.

Frequently asked questions

Is this tray suitable for dishwasher use in a commercial kitchen?

No — acacia wood is not suited to commercial dishwashers. Repeated high-temperature washing will cause the wood to crack, warp, and lose its finish relatively quickly. Hand-washing and prompt drying is recommended, which is worth factoring in if your operation runs high-volume buffet service.

Can this tray be used for wet or sauced dishes at a buffet?

It is not ideal for wet preparations without a liner or suitable vessel, as prolonged exposure to moisture can mark or stain the wood surface. It works best with dry or lightly dressed foods such as bread, charcuterie, cheese, or pastries.

How do you maintain an acacia wood tray in a commercial setting?

Wipe down between uses with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly after washing. Periodic application of food-safe mineral oil or a dedicated wood conditioner will help maintain the surface and extend the life of the tray. This level of care is manageable in many hospitality settings but may not suit very high-turnover operations.
