Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Twisted Fig, a popular bistro in the heart of The Cotswolds, wanted to refresh their presentation to better reflect their locally-sourced, rustic menu. They switched from their standard white porcelain side plates to the Olympia FT610 acacia wood plates for their starters and desserts.
"The moment we started using these plates, the feedback was instant. Customers love the natural feel, and they make our food photos look incredible. It’s a small change that has had a huge impact on how our dishes are perceived – they just feel more special."
David Chen – Head Chef at The Twisted Fig
The bistro noted a significant increase in customers photographing and sharing images of their food online, boosting their social media presence organically.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash lightly with warm, soapy water and dry immediately and thoroughly.
- For best results and to enhance the grain, season the plate by applying a thin layer of food-safe mineral oil.
- Allow the oil to soak in for a few hours or overnight, then wipe off any excess.
- Always use greaseproof paper as a barrier when serving particularly oily or wet foods to prevent staining.
Keeping It Going
- After each use, simply wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth.
- Never, ever place in a dishwasher or leave it to soak in water, as this will cause the wood to warp or crack.
- Dry the plate standing on its edge to allow air to circulate around all sides evenly.
- Re-apply a coat of food-safe oil every month or so to keep the wood nourished and looking its best.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is acacia wood food-safe?
A: Absolutely. Acacia is a non-toxic hardwood that is perfectly safe for serving food. We recommend seasoning it with a food-grade mineral oil to keep it in top condition.
Q: Can I put hot food directly onto the plate?
A: Yes, it's fine for serving hot food like pies, starters or warm desserts. However, avoid placing items straight from the oven or hob onto it to prevent scorching.
Q: How do I prevent it from staining?
A: The best way is to use greaseproof or waxed paper as a liner, especially for very saucy, oily, or colourful foods like beetroot.
Q: Will the plate warp over time?
A: It shouldn't, as long as you follow the care instructions. Warping is caused by excessive moisture, so never submerge it in water or put it in a dishwasher.
Q: Is every plate identical?
A: No, and that's the beauty of it! As it's a natural material, each plate will have a unique grain pattern and slight variations in colour tone.
Q: What happens if it gets a scratch?
A: Minor scratches are part of the charm of a wooden plate. For deeper ones, you can lightly sand the area with very fine-grit sandpaper and re-oil it.
Q: Can I chop food on this plate?
A: We don't recommend using it as a chopping board, as sharp knives will score the surface. It's designed for presentation and serving.
Q: How often should I re-oil the wood?
A: For busy commercial use, a light re-oiling once a month will maintain its lustre and protect the wood from drying out.
Olympia's Promise: Durability Meets Design
Choosing Olympia tableware is about more than just buying a plate; it's an investment in your business's atmosphere. For years, Olympia has been a trusted name in UK hospitality, known for striking the perfect balance between professional-grade durability and accessible, on-trend design. This wooden platter for restaurants is a prime example. It’s built to endure the fast-paced reality of daily service, resisting the chips and cracks common with standard ceramics. But beyond its physical toughness, it delivers significant long-term value by enhancing customer perception. Serving a dish on a unique, natural material like acacia tells a story of quality and care before the customer even takes their first bite. It’s this focus on creating memorable experiences, backed by reliable performance, that makes Olympia a go-to choice for chefs and managers looking to make a lasting impression.
Explore more from OlympiaWhy Acacia Wood Makes All the Difference
Ever wondered why acacia is such a popular choice for high-quality servingware? It's not just about the lovely, warm appearance. Acacia is a dense, durable hardwood, which means it’s naturally resistant to scratches and scuffs from cutlery – a must-have quality in a busy restaurant. Its natural oils also give it some resistance to moisture, which is why it holds up so well with just a simple wipe-down.
Think of it like a quality pair of leather boots compared to trainers. While the trainers are functional, the leather boots have character, are incredibly tough, and get better with age. This acacia wood cafe plate is the same; it’s a robust, characterful piece designed for professional life, bringing a natural warmth that sterile porcelain just can't match.
Who Should Buy This?
- Country Pubs: Ideal for serving ploughman's lunches, pork pies, or a classic scotch egg with flair.
- Artisan Cafés: A perfect stage for showing off homemade cakes, pastries, and signature scones.
- Boutique Hotels: Great for presenting appetisers, bar snacks, or cheese selections in the lounge or for room service.
- Farm Shops & Delis: Use this 150mm wooden presentation plate for offering samples of cheese, charcuterie, or local produce.
