Price Match

This Olympia paddle board is a solid oak serving board finished with an oiled surface that brings out the natural grain of the wood. At 400mm in length and 115mm wide, it sits comfortably in the medium range — large enough to carry a sharing portion or a small charcuterie selection, compact enough not to crowd a table set for two.

In service, paddle boards like this one have become a reliable choice for restaurants, gastropubs, and casual dining venues that want to present food informally without sacrificing the look of the plate. The oiled oak finish holds up reasonably well under regular use, though as with any natural wood serving ware it benefits from periodic re-oiling and should not be submerged in water or put through a commercial dishwasher.

  • Natural oak construction with a warm, rustic appearance suitable for informal dining
  • Oiled finish helps protect the surface and enhances the grain
  • Practical size for individual sharing portions, charcuterie, or bar snacks
  • Paddle handle makes it straightforward to carry to and from the table
  • Pairs well with slate, stone, and other natural surface serving ware

It is worth noting that wood serving ware requires a little more care than ceramic or melamine alternatives — hand washing and occasional maintenance are part of the routine. For venues running very high covers or with limited washing-up time, that is worth factoring into the decision. If you are equipping a larger operation and need boards that see more intensive use, it may be worth discussing the fuller range before ordering in volume.

If you are unsure whether this size is right for your menu or covers, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Can this board go through a commercial dishwasher?

No — natural wood serving ware should be hand washed only. Repeated exposure to the heat and water volume of a commercial dishwasher will cause warping, cracking, and deterioration of the oiled finish. Periodic re-oiling with a food-safe oil will help maintain the surface and extend the board's working life.

Is the 400mm size suitable for sharing portions or is it better for individual servings?

At 400mm long and 115mm wide, this board works well for individual servings or a small sharing portion — think a two-person charcuterie selection, a bar snack, or a starter. For larger sharing platters intended for three or four guests, a longer board would give more practical working space.

How should we care for these boards to get the best service life from them?

Hand wash with warm soapy water and dry promptly — do not leave them soaking. Re-oil with a food-safe mineral or cutting board oil every few weeks depending on use frequency. Store them in a dry environment; prolonged damp storage will cause the wood to swell or crack over time.
