Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Bakehouse in Stow-on-the-Wold wanted to refresh its counter display to create a more premium, rustic feel that matched its Cotswold surroundings.
"We swapped our old stainless steel platters for these acacia wooden serving trays, and the difference was instant. Our cakes and pastries look so much more appealing against the natural wood. Customers have even commented on how lovely they look!"
Robert Finch – Manager
They noted a significant increase in impulse pastry sales after making the switch, enhancing their counter's visual appeal.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the tray a quick wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry it thoroughly.
- For any greasy or moist foods, always place a sheet of baking parchment or a doily down first to protect the wood.
- Position it on your counter or table; its natural charm fits almost any décor, from modern to traditional.
Keeping It Going
- Hand wash only using a mild soap and warm water; never soak it or put it in a commercial dishwasher.
- Dry the tray immediately with a cloth after washing to prevent water spots and protect the wood.
- To restore its beautiful sheen over time, you can occasionally rub a food-safe mineral oil into the surface.
- Store it flat in a dry area when not in use to prevent any chance of warping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this tray food safe?
A: Yes, it is perfectly safe for food contact, but it is recommended for serving dry foods like bread, pastries, fruit, and packaged items to keep it in top condition.
Q: Can I use it to serve hot food?
A: It's not recommended for direct contact with very hot food from the oven. It's best to use a liner, a plate, or a small bowl on the tray to protect the wood.
Q: How much does it weigh?
A: It's nice and light, weighing just 0.93kg, which makes it easy for your team to handle, even when laden with goods.
Q: Will the tray I receive look exactly like the picture?
A: As acacia is a natural wood, each Olympia DP885 tray has its own unique grain pattern and slight variations in colour tone, which is part of its charm.
Q: Can I put this in my dishwasher?
A: Absolutely not. This tray is strictly hand-wash only. A dishwasher would damage the wood and its protective finish.
Q: What are the exact dimensions?
A: The tray measures 380mm in length, 355mm in width, and has a height of 50mm, including the raised edges.
Q: How much weight can it hold?
A: It's surprisingly strong for its weight, capable of carrying a distributed load of up to 5kg.
Q: Can I chop food directly on the tray?
A: We'd advise against it. It's designed as a serving and display tray, and using knives on the surface will scratch and damage the wood.
The Olympia Promise: Style Meets Stamina
In the fast-paced world of hospitality, presentation is crucial, but so is equipment that lasts. That's the sweet spot where Olympia has built its reputation.

This restaurant acacia tray isn't just a fleeting stylistic choice; it's a savvy investment in your business's visual identity. It is specifically designed to endure the daily rigours of commercial use, resisting the scuffs and knocks that can make lesser-quality items look tired before their time. Choosing Olympia means you're opting for reliability and a consistent, professional aesthetic that elevates your service, day in and day out. It's the smart decision for any business that refuses to compromise on quality or style.

You might just see a pretty piece of wood, but there's more to acacia than meets the eye. Think of it like the 4x4 of the timber world—it's naturally tough, resistant to scratches, and less prone to warping than many softer woods. This is because acacia trees grow in demanding environments, making their wood incredibly dense and durable. So, while this tray brings that warm, rustic vibe to your café, it's also quietly standing up to the daily knocks and scrapes of a busy commercial setting, meaning it will keep looking great for a long, long time.
Who Should Buy This?
- Artisan Coffee Shops: Ideal for displaying croissants, cakes, and pastries on the counter to tempt customers.
- Boutique Hotels: A stylish way to present welcome packs, room service items, or continental breakfast selections.
- Farm Shops & Delis: Perfect for creating attractive displays of local cheeses, chutneys, and other packaged goods.
- Bakeries & Bistros: Use as a wooden food serving platter for bread selections or sharing platters (with appropriate lining).
