Product Description
These oval platters are cut from genuine olive wood and intended for front-of-house food presentation in commercial settings. 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, which suits the rustic, informal aesthetic many operators are working towards on their tables.
In service, they perform reliably as a sharing or individual platter for antipasti, charcuterie, breads, cheese, or plated mains. The oval format at 400mm in length is a practical size for a shared starter or a single composed plate, and the boards are robust enough to handle the pace of a busy cover without showing rapid wear. Olive wood is naturally antibacterial, which is a practical advantage in a food service environment, and the boards are straightforward to hand-wash between covers.
A few practical points worth noting before committing to these for service:
- Genuine olive wood requires hand-washing only — dishwashers will cause warping and cracking over time
- Periodic oiling with a food-safe oil will extend service life and maintain appearance
- Natural variation means boards will not match exactly, which suits informal presentation but may not suit every concept
- Each board weighs approximately 950g, which is substantial enough to feel quality on the table without being unwieldy for floor staff
These platters are well suited to restaurants, bistros, wine bars, and casual dining operations where rustic tableware is part of the overall aesthetic. They work particularly well alongside complementary natural-finish crockery or slate pieces. For higher-volume operations requiring greater uniformity or more intensive washing cycles, a synthetic alternative may be worth considering.
If you are building out a full table presentation scheme and want to talk through what works well together in service, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- No — olive wood should be hand-washed only. The heat and sustained moisture exposure in a commercial dishwasher will cause the wood to warp, crack, and degrade relatively quickly. For operations running high cover volumes where dishwasher compatibility is essential, a non-wood alternative would be more practical.
- Regular application of a food-safe mineral or coconut oil will help preserve the wood, prevent drying and cracking, and keep the boards looking presentable on the table. The frequency will depend on how often they are washed, but a light oil every few weeks under normal service conditions is a reasonable guide.
- Olive wood boards are generally better suited to ambient or cold presentations — charcuterie, cheese, bread, and similar items. Sustained contact with very hot food or cookware is not recommended, as it can damage the surface and affect the longevity of the board.
