Serving Boards

This Olympia acacia serving board is a straightforward, practical piece of table service kit designed for operators who want to present dishes directly from board to guest. Made from acacia wood, it has a warm, natural grain that fits comfortably with the kind of relaxed, food-forward presentation common in gastropubs, casual dining, and independent restaurants. The rounded profile gives it a slightly more refined look than a plain rectangular board.

The defining feature is the recessed circle cut into the board surface, sized to accept 70mm ramekins from the Olympia range. This keeps a sauce, dip, or condiment pot stable and positioned neatly alongside the main dish rather than sliding around during service — a small but genuinely useful detail when plates are being carried across a busy floor.

From a practical standpoint, acacia is a reasonably durable hardwood that holds up well in regular front-of-house use. It is worth noting that, like all wooden serving pieces, it should be hand-washed rather than put through a dishwasher, and occasional oiling will extend its life and appearance. At just over a kilogram, it has a solid feel without being cumbersome for floor staff to carry.

• Stable ramekin recess keeps condiment pots in place during service
• Acacia grain suits casual and gastropub-style presentation well
• Pairs with Olympia's existing ramekin range for a consistent table service look
• Rounded profile is practical to handle and store

This board suits lower-volume and independent operations looking to add a degree of presentation without significant cost. For high-turnover sites where boards are cycled through a dishwasher repeatedly, a slate or melamine alternative may be a more practical long-term choice.

If you're putting together a cohesive table service set or want to check ramekin compatibility before ordering, the team are happy to help.

This wooden base is designed to hold the Olympia small slate platter (CK409), providing a stable, presentable platform for table service. The recessed design keeps the slate securely in place during service, reducing the risk of movement when dishes are set down or passed between staff and guests.

Made from bamboo rather than traditional hardwood, the base offers a practical advantage in a hospitality environment. Bamboo is naturally harder and more moisture-resistant than oak, which matters in a front-of-house setting where surfaces are regularly wiped down and exposed to spilled liquids. It is also more dimensionally stable, meaning it is less likely to warp or split over time with regular use.

For operators using slate presentation as part of their table service offering, the base adds a degree of professionalism to the presentation without complicating service flow. It also protects table surfaces from the rough underside of the slate, which is a practical consideration often overlooked until the first marks appear on a new table.

At 300g, the combined weight of base and slate remains manageable for front-of-house staff carrying multiple covers. The base itself is a straightforward piece — there is no assembly, no maintenance beyond wiping clean, and no compatibility concerns beyond confirming you are pairing it with the correct slate size.

This base suits smaller-format dishes: sharing starters, cheese portions, individual desserts, or bar snacks. If your service style leans toward larger sharing boards or higher-volume informal dining formats, it is worth considering whether a larger base and slate combination would better suit your covers.

If you are building a table service range and want to talk through which slate and board combinations work well together in practice, the team is happy to help.

The Churchill Alchemy paddle board is a handled melamine serving board finished in a distressed wood effect. At 450mm in length, it sits comfortably between a compact sharing plate and a full charcuterie board, making it a practical choice for table service, buffet stations, and informal dining formats where food is presented centrally or passed around the table.

In a service environment, melamine earns its place through consistency and durability. Unlike genuine timber, it will not warp, crack, or absorb moisture through repeated use and washing — which matters when boards are cycling through service and the dishwasher multiple times a day. The distressed wood finish gives the visual warmth of natural timber without the maintenance overhead, and holds up well under the daily handling that would quickly age a real wood board.

The handled design makes a practical difference during busy service. Staff can carry and place the board single-handed without touching the serving surface, which is both more hygienic and more efficient when covers are moving quickly. Key operational points worth noting:

• Melamine construction resists warping, cracking, and moisture absorption
• Handled design supports single-handed carry without contact with the serving surface
• Distressed wood finish suits rustic, gastropub, and informal dining aesthetics
• Dishwasher safe for reliable turnaround in commercial operations
• Not suitable for direct hot food service from an oven or open heat sources

These boards are well suited to gastropubs, casual dining restaurants, café-bars, and buffet operations that need a consistent, presentable serving format without the fragility of natural materials. They are not designed for use under direct heat or open flames.

If you are weighing up sizes or quantities for your service format, we are glad to talk it through before you place an order.

This acacia wood serving board from Pujadas is a straightforward, practical piece of tableware designed for food presentation in commercial hospitality settings. The natural grain and warm tone of acacia make it a popular choice for operators who want to present food directly on the board rather than on conventional crockery — whether that is sharing platters, charcuterie, bread, appetisers, or small plates.

Acacia is a reasonably hard, dense wood that holds up well to regular front-of-house use. It handles light food contact without marking easily and, with proper care, maintains its appearance through a busy service. It is not designed for heavy chopping or prep work — its role is presentation at the table, not worktop use in the kitchen.

For practical day-to-day use, a few points are worth bearing in mind:

• Wipe clean after each service — not suitable for dishwasher use
• Occasional oiling with food-safe mineral oil will extend the board's life
• Avoid prolonged soaking or exposure to standing water
• Best kept away from direct heat sources when stored

This size works well for individual starters, small sharing boards, or as a base for presented side dishes. Operations running high-volume table service across many covers may want to consider a larger format board, while smaller venues or those using boards occasionally will find this size versatile and easy to handle and store.

If you are building out a table service range or matching boards to a particular concept, the team are happy to talk through what tends to work well in practice.

These oval platters are cut from genuine olive wood and sold in packs of six, making them a practical choice for operators equipping a full section or building out a cohesive table presentation. Because olive wood is a natural material, the grain, colouring, and surface pattern vary from piece to piece — no two boards in the pack will look identical. For most casual and rustic dining concepts, that variation is part of the appeal rather than a limitation.

At 400mm in length, the oval format is a workable size for a shared starter, a charcuterie or cheese selection, or a single composed plate. The boards handle the pace of busy covers well and carry a 950g weight that feels substantial on the table without being unwieldy for floor staff to carry or set. Olive wood has natural antibacterial properties, which is a practical advantage in a food service environment.

A few operational points worth knowing before committing these to service:

• Hand-washing only — dishwashers will cause warping and cracking over time
• Periodic treatment with a food-safe oil extends service life and keeps the surface in good condition
• Natural grain variation means boards will not match exactly, which suits informal presentation but may not fit every concept

These platters are well suited to restaurants, bistros, wine bars, and casual dining operations where natural-finish tableware is part of the overall aesthetic. They complement slate pieces, textured ceramics, and other organic-finish serveware well. For operations requiring strict uniformity or high-frequency dishwasher cycles, a synthetic alternative would be worth considering instead.

If you are pulling together a full table presentation scheme and want a second opinion on what works well together in service, the team is glad to help.

This is a rectangular oak paddle board finished in a rustic oiled finish, intended for presenting food directly at the table. At 350mm in depth, it offers a practical surface area for sharing platters, charcuterie, artisan breads, or cheese boards without being unwieldy to carry or to set down between covers.

Oak is a practical choice for this type of service piece. It is a dense, close-grained hardwood that handles regular use in a hospitality setting reasonably well, and the oiled finish helps protect the surface from moisture pickup during service. The board weighs 1kg, which gives it enough substance to feel considered on the table without being heavy for front-of-house staff to handle repeatedly through a busy service.

In practical terms, boards like this are commonly used in casual dining, gastropubs, and informal restaurant concepts where plated presentation has given way to more relaxed, sharing-style service. They work equally well as a base for cold sharing starters or as a display surface for bread and accompaniments.

• Suitable for sharing starters, charcuterie, cheese, and artisan bread service
• Oak construction with oiled finish provides reasonable durability for regular use
• Handled paddle shape allows front-of-house staff to carry and present with ease
• A practical, low-maintenance addition to an informal or rustic table service concept

It is worth noting that wooden boards require hand washing and periodic re-oiling to maintain their condition — they are not suitable for dishwasher use, and this should be factored into your back-of-house cleaning workflow. If you run a high-volume operation and need larger or more durable serving surfaces, there are alternative formats available.

If you are putting together a serving range and want to discuss what works well in your specific service style, we are happy to help.

These are individual serving boards cut from genuine olive wood, sold in packs of six. Because each piece comes from natural timber, the grain, colouring, and surface pattern will differ between boards — no two are identical. That variation is intentional and is part of the appeal for operators building a rustic or artisan-style table presentation.

Olive wood is naturally dense and close-grained, which gives it reasonable resilience under regular front-of-house use. The material carries inherent antibacterial properties. At this size, the boards are well suited to individual starters, charcuterie, antipasti, or small dessert presentations, and they handle a busy service comfortably when treated with normal care.

A few practical points worth noting before ordering:

• Each board is unique in grain and tone — adds visual interest to plating without additional effort
• Natural antibacterial properties from genuine olive wood
• Lightweight enough for comfortable single-hand carrying during service
• Hand-wash only — not suitable for commercial dishwashers
• Pairs well with slate, stoneware, or other rustic-finish tableware

The hand-wash requirement is the main operational consideration. For high-volume covers where turnaround speed matters, that constraint is worth thinking through before committing. These boards are best suited to gastropubs, bistros, and farm-to-table restaurants where the rustic aesthetic is a deliberate part of the concept. They are less appropriate for contemporary or minimalist table settings, or for operations where a dishwasher-safe format would be more practical. Occasional oiling will also help maintain the surface over time.

If you are putting together a table service collection and want to talk through what works well as a set, the team is happy to help before you place an order.

This round paddle board from Olympia is a straightforward serving piece made from acacia wood, with a fixed metal handle for easy carrying to the table. It is intended for informal food presentation in front-of-house settings rather than any preparation or cooking use.

In a busy café, bar or casual dining environment, boards like this are commonly used to serve sandwiches, sharing platters, pastries, canapés and small plates. The acacia wood gives a natural, consistent grain appearance that suits relaxed, informal table settings, and the handle makes it practical for floor staff to carry a loaded board comfortably without adjusting their grip.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical points are:

• Acacia wood is reasonably durable for front-of-house use and resists surface marking better than lighter softwoods
• The metal handle keeps the grip area separate from the food surface
• The round form suits a variety of plating styles without dictating portion arrangement
• Consistent appearance across a set supports a uniform table presentation

Acacia wood boards require hand washing only — dishwasher use will cause warping and splitting over time. Periodic oiling with a food-safe mineral oil will help maintain the surface and extend service life. These boards are not suitable for raw meat preparation or prolonged moisture exposure.

This board is well suited to cafés, gastropubs, hotel bars and casual dining restaurants looking for a reliable, presentable serving piece at a sensible price point. If you are equipping a larger operation or need boards in quantity, it is worth speaking with us about volume and whether a different size or format would better suit your menu.

This rectangular paddle board from Olympia is made from acacia wood and fitted with a metal handle at one end. The elongated shape and handle make it straightforward to carry to the table and set down cleanly in front of a guest, without the need for additional crockery or slate alternatives.

In a café or casual dining environment, boards like this are commonly used for sandwiches, open rolls, bruschetta, pastries, charcuterie portions, and canapés. The acacia wood grain gives a natural, unfussy appearance that suits relaxed, informal table settings without looking out of place in a smarter bistro environment. The board is a reasonable working size — long enough to carry a generous open sandwich or a small sharing portion, without being unwieldy on a standard café table.

From a practical standpoint, acacia is a reasonably hard and close-grained wood, which holds up better to everyday front-of-house use than softer alternatives. A few points worth bearing in mind for service use:

• Wipe clean after each use — not suitable for dishwasher cleaning
• Occasional oiling will help maintain the wood surface over time
• Best suited to dry or lightly dressed food; prolonged contact with wet or acidic items should be avoided
• The metal handle will need periodic checking to ensure it remains secure with regular use

This board works well for cafés, delis, pub kitchens and bistros running a light to moderate cover count. It is a single-piece serving item rather than a high-throughput kitchen tool, so volume operations looking to run boards through a dishwasher cycle between covers should consider alternative materials.

If you are unsure whether this board suits your service style or are equipping a number of covers and want to discuss quantities, the team is happy to help.

This round paddle board from Olympia is made from acacia wood and fitted with a metal handle, giving front-of-house staff a practical way to carry and present food at the table. The board is a straightforward piece of serveware with no special maintenance requirements beyond standard food-contact hygiene practices.

In a busy café, bar or casual dining environment, paddle boards like this are commonly used for cold service — sandwiches, pastries, canapés, sharing platters and small plates. The natural grain of the acacia wood suits relaxed or rustic presentation styles well, and the metal handle makes it easy to grip and carry single-handed when clearing or replenishing covers at pace during service.

• Natural acacia wood surface suits informal and rustic dining presentations
• Metal handle allows single-handed carrying during busy table service
• Round format works well for sharing portions, canapés and small plates
• Ample board area for a variety of cold food presentations
• Straightforward to wipe down between covers

Acacia wood serveware should be hand-washed and dried promptly — it is not suitable for dishwasher use, as prolonged exposure to hot water and detergent will cause warping and surface cracking over time. This is worth factoring in if your operation runs high cover volumes where fast turnaround of serveware is important.

This board is well suited to cafés, gastropubs, wine bars and casual dining restaurants where tactile, natural presentation is part of the dining experience. For higher-volume operations needing a larger board surface or heavier construction, it is worth considering an alternative from the wider range.

If you are unsure how this fits into your current table service setup, we are happy to help you work through the options.

This Pujadas acacia wood serving board is a straightforward, well-made piece of table service equipment intended for food presentation in restaurants, bars, and hospitality venues. Acacia is a dense, close-grained hardwood that holds up well in front-of-house use — resistant to surface staining and less prone to warping than softer timbers when handled with reasonable care.

In a busy service environment, boards like this earn their place on sharing menus, charcuterie and cheese plates, bread service, and casual starter presentations. The elongated format suits modern plating styles where food is arranged across the board rather than centred on a plate, and the proportions work well for two-to-three-cover sharing portions.

A few practical points worth considering before ordering in volume:

• Acacia boards should not be submerged in water or run through a commercial dishwasher — hand washing and periodic oiling will extend their service life significantly.
• Surface cuts and marks will develop over time; this is normal for wood service ware and part of the aesthetic, but boards showing deep scoring should be retired from food service.
• Suitable for dry and lightly dressed food presentation; not recommended for prolonged contact with wet sauces or marinades.

This board is well suited to independent restaurants, gastro pubs, hotel food and beverage operations, and event caterers where rustic or natural-material presentation is part of the look. For operations needing a smaller individual-portion board or a larger sharing format, alternative sizes are available within the Pujadas range.

If you're equipping a venue and want to talk through quantities, formats, or how these fit alongside your wider table service setup, the team is happy to help.

This round acacia wood pizza board from Olympia is a straightforward serving piece designed for table service in pizzerias, Italian restaurants, and casual dining operations. Cut from a single piece of acacia wood, it provides a stable, flat surface for presenting individual pizzas directly to the table, with a short handle giving staff a secure grip when carrying it through a busy dining room.

Acacia is a practical choice for this application. It is a dense, close-grained hardwood that resists moisture absorption better than softer woods, and its natural variation in grain and tone gives each board a slightly individual character — something many operators find suits a relaxed, informal dining aesthetic well. The one-piece construction avoids the joint and laminate failures that can occur with cheaper boards over time, and at 700g it is light enough to carry comfortably without feeling insubstantial.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical points are:

• Single-piece acacia construction — no glued joints to fail under repeated washing
• Integrated handle keeps staff hands away from the food surface during service
• Round format sized for individual pizzas up to roughly 12 inches
• Natural grain adds character without requiring any additional table dressing
• Lightweight enough for efficient table-side presentation

It is worth noting that wooden boards require hand washing rather than dishwasher use, and will need occasional oiling to maintain the wood and prevent surface drying over time. For high-turnover operations running continuous covers, the cleaning and maintenance routine is worth factoring into service planning.

This board suits operators looking for a simple, presentable serving surface for individual pizzas in a relaxed dining setting. If your operation runs larger sharing pizzas or requires a board with a longer peel handle for oven use, it is worth discussing the right format with us before ordering.

These Churchill Alchemy paddle boards are melamine serving pieces finished to replicate the look of distressed wood. They are handled boards intended for presenting food directly to guests — suited to entrée and dessert service, buffet counters, and informal sharing plates. The melamine construction means the visual warmth of a rustic wood finish is retained without the practical drawbacks of actual timber.

In a busy service environment, the material matters. Melamine is water-resistant, does not absorb food odours, and will not warp or crack with repeated use the way genuine wood can. The boards handle the rigours of regular front-of-house service reliably, and the handled design makes them straightforward for staff to carry and plate from. They present well across different dining formats — from casual buffet settings through to more considered restaurant plating.

• Distressed wood-effect finish for consistent rustic presentation
• Handled design aids carrying and front-of-house service
• Water-resistant melamine — no warping or odour absorption
• Uniform appearance across a pack of four matched boards
• Lightweight at 380g per board, manageable for floor staff

Being melamine, these boards are not suitable for oven use, microwave use, or direct contact with very high heat. They are front-of-house serving pieces rather than preparation surfaces. Cleaning is straightforward — hand washing is recommended to maintain the finish over time, though the material itself is robust. At 266mm in length they are well proportioned for individual entrée or dessert portions rather than large sharing boards.

These boards are a practical choice for restaurants, bistros, hotels, and event caterers looking to add a consistent rustic aesthetic to their table service or buffet presentation without the maintenance commitment of real wood. They are supplied in packs of four, which suits most operators running matched sets across covers. If your operation requires a larger format sharing board or a different surface finish, it is worth exploring the wider Alchemy range before ordering.

If you are unsure whether these boards suit your service style or volume, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

This acacia wood serving board from Pujadas is a practical table service piece designed for presenting food directly to guests. The natural grain and warm tones of acacia make it a common choice for restaurants, bars and casual dining venues where plated presentation is part of the guest experience.

In table service environments, a board like this earns its place through versatility. It works equally well for sharing starters, charcuterie and cheese boards, flatbreads, or individual plated dishes where a rustic presentation suits the menu concept. The size is well suited to individual portions and smaller sharing plates without being cumbersome to carry through a busy dining room.

From an operational standpoint, acacia is a reasonably durable hardwood that holds up to regular front-of-house use. It should be hand washed and dried promptly — not left to soak or put through a commercial dishwasher — and benefits from occasional oiling to maintain the surface and prevent cracking over time. Boards of this type are service items rather than prep surfaces and are best kept to food presentation use only.

This board is well suited to independent restaurants, gastro pubs, hotels and casual dining operators looking to add a natural, tactile element to table service. For venues requiring larger sharing formats or needing to run higher quantities across multiple covers, it is worth looking at the broader Pujadas serving board range for alternative sizes.

If you are unsure which size or style of serving board best fits your menu and service style, the team is happy to help you think it through.

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.

This rectangular paddle board from Olympia is a straightforward serving piece made from acacia wood, with metal handles at each end to make carrying and presenting dishes easier for front-of-house staff. The board is well sized for sharing plates, sandwiches, pastries, canapés, or small main course portions, and suits the kind of informal, rustic presentation that has become common across casual dining, gastropubs, and café settings.

Acacia is a practical choice for food service use. It is a dense, close-grained hardwood that holds up reasonably well in busy table service environments, resisting surface marking better than softer woods. The metal handles are a useful detail — they keep the board stable when being carried to and from the table and make it easy to handle during a busy service.

• Natural acacia wood surface suits informal and rustic presentation styles
• Metal handles at each end support stable, comfortable carrying during service
• Generous board area accommodates sharing portions and multi-item presentations
• Close-grained hardwood resists surface marking from normal food service use
• Straightforward to wipe down between covers during service

Like all wooden serving boards, this piece requires hand washing and should not be submerged in water or put through a commercial dishwasher, as prolonged moisture exposure will cause the wood to warp or crack over time. Periodic oiling with a food-safe oil will help maintain the surface and extend the board's working life.

This board is well suited to cafés, bistros, gastropubs, and casual dining restaurants looking for a natural, unfussy serving piece. If your operation runs very high covers and boards are handled repeatedly throughout a long service, it is worth considering how your team will care for them between uses.

If you are unsure how many boards you need for your covers, or whether this size works for your menu format, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

This APS serving board is made from acacia wood and is intended for front-of-house food presentation and table service. At 285mm x 155mm, it offers a practical surface area suitable for sharing starters, charcuterie, cheese, bread, or small plates in a casual or informal dining setting.

Acacia is a hardwood that holds up reasonably well to regular front-of-house use. Its natural grain gives each board a slightly individual appearance, which suits informal presentation styles common in gastropubs, casual dining restaurants, and café-bars. At 280g, it is light enough for floor staff to carry comfortably during service.

From an operational standpoint, boards like this work well where operators want to move away from conventional crockery for certain menu items. They can help reinforce a relaxed, rustic aesthetic without requiring significant investment.

• Lightweight enough for easy single-handed carrying during service
• Natural wood grain suits informal and casual dining presentations
• Practical size for sharing boards, small plates, or bread service
• Easy to incorporate into existing table service workflows

It is worth noting that wooden serving boards require appropriate cleaning and maintenance protocols in a commercial setting. They are not suitable for dishwasher use in most cases, and any internal food hygiene policy around wooden surfaces should be checked before introducing them into service.

This board is well suited to smaller operations or those looking to introduce occasional wood service pieces alongside existing tableware. For venues running high-volume covers where durability and throughput are priorities, it is worth considering whether a more robust or larger format board would better suit the pace of service.

If you are putting together a table service range or have questions about what works in your particular setting, the team is happy to help.

These square acacia wood deli boards from Churchill's Art de Cuisine range are a practical serving option for informal food presentation. Each board is shaped with integrated wells designed to hold small pots, ramekins, or direct portions of dips, sauces and relishes, keeping the presentation tidy and functional without relying on additional crockery.

In a front-of-house setting, they work well for cheese boards, charcuterie, antipasti, bread service, and plated burgers or steaks. The acacia wood finish gives a warm, natural appearance that suits relaxed dining environments — gastropubs, casual dining restaurants, delis, and café-style operations are typical users. They're sold as a pack of four, which suits smaller operations looking to maintain a consistent table look without large upfront investment.

A few practical points worth considering:

• Acacia wood requires hand washing — not suitable for commercial dishwashers
• Should be dried promptly after washing to preserve the surface
• Periodic oiling with food-safe oil helps maintain the wood and prevents drying or cracking
• Not intended for direct oven or heat lamp use
• The integrated wells are sized for small ramekins or sauce portions

For operations running high cover counts or a fast-paced kitchen environment, it's worth thinking through the cleaning turnaround that wooden boards require compared to ceramic or melamine alternatives. That said, for venues where the presentation style matters and service pace allows for hand washing, these boards offer a reliable and repeatable look.

If you're unsure whether these suit your service style or volume, we're happy to talk it through.

This bamboo presentation board from Olympia is a straightforward serving piece designed for table service, informal dining, and deli-style food presentation. At 310 x 240mm it offers a practical surface area for individual steaks, flatbreads, charcuterie portions, and similar plated items, without taking up excessive table space.

Bamboo is a sensible material choice for front-of-house service. It is naturally hardwearing, resistant to surface marking under normal use, and gives a clean, neutral aesthetic that works across a range of dining styles — from casual gastropubs to café counters and sharing-plate concepts. The boards are consistent in appearance, which matters when running multiple covers and presenting food uniformly across a service.

In practical terms, boards like this are commonly used where operators want to move away from conventional crockery for certain dishes, or where the format suits the menu concept. They are straightforward to incorporate into existing service routines and easy for front-of-house staff to handle.

• Suitable for steak, deli, and sharing-plate presentation
• Neutral bamboo finish works with a range of interior styles
• Practical size for individual covers without overcrowding the table
• Lightweight enough for comfortable one-handed service
• Easy to clean down between services

These boards are best suited to casual and informal dining settings where tactile, natural-material presentation adds to the guest experience. For operators running high-volume covers or requiring larger sharing boards, it is worth considering whether a bigger format would better suit the menu.

If you are equipping a new concept or standardising your table service pieces across a site, feel free to get in touch — it helps to talk through the volumes and service style before committing to quantities.

This acacia wood steak board from Olympia is a straightforward serving piece designed for table service in gastropubs, casual dining restaurants, and similar informal settings. The board features a recessed circular well sized to accept a 70mm ramekin, allowing sauces, butters, or condiments to be presented alongside the main dish as a single, composed serve. The natural grain of the acacia gives the board a warm, rustic appearance that suits the relaxed, food-forward aesthetic common in modern pub kitchens and independent restaurants.

In practical front-of-house use, the ramekin recess keeps accompaniments secure during plating and service, reducing the risk of the ramekin shifting on the board between pass and table. The acacia construction is reasonably robust for a timber serving piece, though as with all wooden boards, it benefits from regular oiling to maintain condition and prevent cracking with repeated washing and drying cycles. It is not suitable for dishwasher use.

• Consistent presentation with ramekin held securely in the recess
• Natural acacia grain suits gastropub and informal dining aesthetics
• Practical for steak, charcuterie, and sharing plate service
• Compatible with the Olympia 70mm ramekin range
• Suitable for moderate-volume table service environments

For high-volume operations turning covers quickly, it is worth considering how many boards you need in rotation to allow adequate drying time between services. Timber boards require more care than slate or melamine alternatives, so the choice of material should reflect your kitchen's maintenance routine.

This board is well suited to independent restaurants, gastropubs, and casual dining venues looking for a consistent, presentable serving format for steaks and grills. If you are equipping a larger operation or need guidance on quantities for your cover count, the team are happy to help you work it out.

These natural slate boards from Olympia are sized to GN 1/3, making them a practical choice for operators who want to align presentation ware with standard gastronorm organisation. Supplied as a pack of two, each board is cut from genuine slate with natural jagged edges retained, giving them a consistent rustic appearance that works well across a range of contemporary dining concepts.

The slate is sealed with a clear varnish finish, making it waterproof and resistant to oils and liquids. This matters in a service environment where boards are repeatedly handled, dressed, and wiped down between covers. The surface holds food securely without being porous, and the finish makes routine cleaning straightforward during and after service.

• GN 1/3 footprint integrates neatly with standard pass and tray setups
• Sealed surface resists oil, liquid and food staining
• Natural slate edges give a consistent, considered presentation
• Supplied in pairs, reducing per-unit cost for initial setups
• Suitable for cold food service — sushi, charcuterie, tapas, sharing plates

These boards are best suited to front-of-house food presentation rather than food preparation. They are not intended for hot food service or oven use. At just over 2.4kg per board, they have a reassuring solidity on the table without being cumbersome to carry during service. The GN 1/3 format suits operators running tapas menus, small plates, or structured sharing concepts where portion control and presentation consistency matter.

For venues needing a larger footprint per cover, boards in GN 1/2 or full GN sizes may be more appropriate. For high-volume setups requiring a larger initial quantity, it is worth discussing pack sizing before ordering.

If you are putting together a broader table service range or want to discuss how these fit alongside your existing presentation ware, the team is happy to help.

The Olympia Small Acacia Steak Board is a solid wood serving board intended for direct-to-table presentation of steaks, grilled meats, and similar dishes. Made from acacia wood, it offers the warm, natural grain appearance commonly associated with contemporary gastropub and bistro service styles. At 260x190mm it is a compact format — practical for individual portions rather than sharing platters.

In a busy service environment, these boards hold up well to regular use when properly maintained. Acacia is a relatively dense hardwood, which gives it reasonable resistance to surface marking from cutlery compared with softer alternatives. The boards have no recess, so they are straightforward to wipe down between covers, though like all wooden serveware they should not be submerged in water or run through a dishwasher, as this will cause warping and splitting over time.

• Natural acacia grain suits relaxed dining and gastropub aesthetics
• Compact footprint works well for individual portion presentation
• No recess keeps the surface easy to wipe between covers
• Dense hardwood construction handles regular front-of-house use
• Lightweight enough for easy single-handed carrying by floor staff

These boards are best suited to restaurants, pubs, and bistros where rustic or natural presentation is part of the dining concept. They are a practical choice for venues serving moderate covers. For higher-volume operations requiring more boards in rotation, it is worth considering whether a larger stock holding makes sense given hand-wash-only care requirements.

If you are building out a serveware range or want to confirm these boards will work with your current service style, we are happy to help you think it through before you order.

These acacia wood steak boards from Olympia are a practical tableware choice for restaurants and gastropubs serving plated steak dishes. Each board is solid acacia wood, sized generously enough to plate a steak alongside chips and a side without crowding, and comes as a pack of six — a practical quantity for most table service operations.

The board is designed with service in mind. A routed recess runs around the outer perimeter to catch any meat juices or sauces before they reach the table, and a circular cut-out provides a dedicated spot for a ramekin of peppercorn sauce, a gravy boat, or a small condiment pot. A pair of finger notches on the lower edge makes it easy for front-of-house staff to collect boards from the table cleanly and efficiently, even during a busy service.

• Perimeter recess contains meat juices and prevents table spillage
• Circular cut-out seats a ramekin or small sauce vessel securely
• Finger notches on lower edge aid efficient clearing during service
• Solid acacia wood construction stands up to regular commercial use
• Sold as a pack of six for consistent tableware presentation

Acacia wood requires a degree of ongoing care to remain in good condition. The boards should not be submerged in water or put through a dishwasher — wipe-clean with a damp cloth after each use and condition periodically with a food-safe mineral oil to prevent the wood from drying or cracking. With the right care routine, they will give reliable service over many years.

These boards are well suited to restaurants, pub kitchens, and steakhouses that serve plated grills as a core part of the menu. For very high covers or fast-turnaround concepts where quick sanitisation between tables is a priority, it is worth considering whether a wooden board format fits your service model before committing. If you are unsure whether this style of servingware suits your operation, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to talk it through.

These rectangular hardwood serving boards from Churchill are a straightforward, practical addition to buffet, sharing plate, or casual dining presentation. Made from natural hardwood, they offer a warm, neutral base for displaying food without competing with the plating itself — a quality that makes them a reliable choice for operators who want a consistent, unfussy look across a service.

In busy hospitality environments, serving boards like these tend to see constant handling — loaded, wiped, stacked, and reused across multiple sittings. The hardwood construction holds up well to that kind of routine use, and the natural surface pairs comfortably with Churchill's wider ceramics and melamine serveware ranges for operators running a coordinated table presentation.

• Natural hardwood construction — durable and resistant to everyday service wear
• Stackable design supports efficient storage in limited back-of-house space
• Neutral finish works across a range of presentation styles
• Supplied as a pack of six, practical for sites running buffet or sharing-plate service
• Compatible with Churchill's broader ceramics and melamine serveware collection

There are no special installation or preparation requirements. These boards are ready to use out of the box. It is worth noting that, as with any wooden serveware, they are not suitable for use in commercial dishwashers — hand washing and prompt drying will extend their working life considerably. They are not intended for use with heavily liquid dishes or as a direct cooking surface.

These boards suit casual dining restaurants, gastropubs, hotel buffets, and event catering operations where a natural, tactile presentation is part of the service style. For very high-turnover environments where boards are cycled continuously through service, a melamine or slate alternative may prove more practical over time.

If you are building out a full table presentation or buffet setup and want to talk through which serveware combinations work well together, we are happy to help.

These acacia wood serving boards from Dudson's Wood collection are designed to work alongside their ceramic tableware range, offering a consistent rustic aesthetic across the table. Each board features a handle for easy carrying and service, with a naturally textured surface that provides a warm, neutral backdrop for food presentation.

In a busy service environment, handled boards like these are a practical solution for presenting sharing plates, charcuterie, starters, and snacks without the need for additional serving vessels. The acacia wood grain adds visual contrast to plated dishes, and the boards stack neatly when not in use, keeping storage straightforward.

• Handled design supports confident single-handed carrying during service
• Acacia wood surface complements both rustic and contemporary plating styles
• Food safe construction suitable for direct food contact
• Stackable for compact storage between covers
• Pairs well with Dudson ceramic tableware for a cohesive table setting

These boards require handwashing to preserve the surface finish and extend their working life. They are not suitable for dishwasher use, and operators should factor that into cleaning workflows, particularly during high-volume service. Supplied as a pack of four, which suits initial trials or smaller operations; larger venues may want to order multiple packs to build a working stock that allows for rotation.

Well suited to restaurants, gastropubs, wine bars, and hotel dining rooms looking to add a tactile, natural element to their presentation. They work particularly well in informal dining concepts where sharing plates and relaxed table formats are the norm.
