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.

Frequently asked questions

Can this board go through a commercial dishwasher?

No — wooden boards should not be put through a commercial dishwasher. The heat and prolonged water exposure will cause the wood to warp and crack. Hand washing and drying promptly after each use is the correct approach, along with periodic treatment with a food-safe oil to maintain the surface.

Is this board suitable for hot food service?

It is best suited to ambient or cold food presentation — sandwiches, pastries, canapés, charcuterie, and similar items. Placing very hot dishes directly on the board is not advisable, as repeated heat exposure can dry out and damage the wood surface over time.

How many boards would a typical café or bistro need for a standard service?

That depends on your covers, menu format, and how quickly boards can be cleared, wiped, and returned to service. As a rough guide, having at least one board per table in your dining area gives you enough rotation without boards becoming a bottleneck during a busy period — but your team's workflow and wash-up setup will influence that number.
