Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling tea room in the heart of York, wanted to refresh the presentation of their popular afternoon tea service. They felt their existing white plates were functional but lacked personality and didn't match their cosy, traditional décor.
"We introduced these acacia display trays for our three-tiered afternoon tea stands. The natural wood contrasts beautifully with our delicate cakes and sandwiches. Customers constantly comment on how lovely they look, and we've seen a noticeable uptick in photos being shared online."
Robert Davies – Owner
Since the switch, The Copper Kettle has seen a 30% increase in orders for its signature afternoon tea, attributing the growth to its enhanced visual appeal.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, simply wipe the tray down with a clean, damp cloth.
- Ensure the tray is completely dry before placing any food on it.
- It arrives ready to use – no assembly required!
- Position it on a flat, stable surface whether on a counter or table.
Keeping It Going
- Always hand wash with warm, soapy water. Never place it in a dishwasher.
- Do not leave the tray to soak in water, as this can cause the wood to warp or split.
- Dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth immediately after washing.
- To maintain its lustre over time, you can occasionally treat it with a food-safe mineral oil.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I put this tray in the dishwasher?
A: No, this tray is strictly hand-wash only. Using a dishwasher will damage the wood and could cause it to warp or crack.
Q: Is it safe to serve hot food directly onto the tray?
A: It's best used for dry or room-temperature foods. While it can handle warmth, placing very hot items directly from an oven is not recommended.
Q: How much does the tray weigh?
A: It's very manageable, weighing just 0.52kg, making it easy for staff to carry.
Q: Can I use it as a chopping board?
A: We wouldn't advise it. It's designed as a serving and display platter; using knives on the surface will scratch and damage its beautiful finish.
Q: Is every tray identical in appearance?
A: No, and that's one of its best features! As it's made from natural acacia wood, each tray has a unique grain and colour variation.
Q: What is the maximum weight it can hold?
A: The tray is robustly built and is rated to carry a distributed weight of up to 5kg.
Q: Is it suitable for serving food with sauces or dressings?
A: No, the tray is not designed for wet or greasy foods as the wood is porous and can absorb oils and liquids, leading to staining.
Q: How do I keep the wood looking good?
A: Simply follow the hand-wash instructions. For extra care, you can periodically wipe it with a food-safe mineral oil to nourish the wood and enhance its natural grain.

Explore more from OlympiaThe Natural Advantage of Acacia Wood
Ever wondered what makes acacia wood so special for servingware? Think of it as nature's perfect material for the job. Acacia is a hardwood, which means it's naturally dense, durable, and resistant to scratches – a must-have in a busy commercial setting. But its real charm lies in its appearance. The grain of acacia wood is famously varied, with rich, swirling patterns and a warm mix of colours.
This means that unlike a stack of identical, mass-produced ceramic plates, each acacia wooden serving tray is subtly unique, almost like a fingerprint. It gives your service an authentic, bespoke feel that customers notice. It’s this blend of rugged durability and natural, individual beauty that makes it a smarter choice for creating a memorable presentation.
