APS Simply Wood Oak Serving Board

The APS Simply Wood serving board is a solid oiled oak board for presenting food directly to the table, available in two sizes: 350x170mm and 400x220mm. The integrated handle makes it straightforward to carry from the pass or kitchen counter, and the natural wood finish suits informal dining, sharing plates and rustic presentation styles.

These boards work well for bread service, charcuterie, cheese, sharing starters, bar snacks and appetisers, where the presentation is part of the experience and a plate would feel out of place. They are a practical choice for restaurants, bistros, gastropubs, hotels and café-style venues that favour a relaxed, natural look.

One practical point: wooden boards require hand washing with warm water only. They must not go in a dishwasher or be left to soak, as the heat and detergent will cause the wood to warp, split or crack. This is standard care for oiled wood and matters for both the finish and food safety. Operators running high-throughput covers should factor this into their serviceware rotation, as turnaround is slower than with ceramic or melamine. If your operation relies on machine washing for all serviceware, a slate, melamine or enamel alternative may be more practical.

These boards suit lower-volume or destination dining where presentation is a priority. For venues needing a faster-turnaround or more durable surface, alternative materials may be more practical.
