Price Match

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.

Frequently asked questions

Are these boards suitable for use in a high-volume restaurant?

That depends on your cover numbers and turnaround speed. Because olive wood boards must be hand-washed rather than put through a commercial dishwasher, they can create a bottleneck in high-volume kitchens where quick plate cycling matters. They work best in mid-volume settings where the aesthetic is worth the extra handling, or where you have sufficient board stock to rotate through service.

How do we maintain these boards to keep them in good condition?

Hand-wash with warm water after each service and dry promptly — never soak or leave wet, as prolonged moisture can cause the wood to warp or split. Periodic oiling with a food-safe mineral or cutting board oil will help preserve the surface and prevent drying out over time. With reasonable care, olive wood boards hold up well in a professional setting.

Do the boards vary much in appearance, and will they match across a table setting?

Yes, variation is inherent to natural olive wood — each board will differ in grain pattern, colouring, and surface markings. Within a single pack the differences can be noticeable. For most rustic or artisan concepts that variation adds to the presentation rather than detracting from it, but if your table setting calls for uniformity these boards may not be the right fit.
