Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Drover's Rest, a popular gastropub in the Peak District, wanted to refresh their tableware to better reflect their rustic, locally-sourced menu. They swapped out their plain white starter plates for the Olympia Acacia wooden round serving plate.
"Our starters and desserts have never looked better. The warmth of the wood makes the colours of the food so vibrant. Customers are constantly taking photos, which has been fantastic for our Instagram! They just feel more special than a standard plate."
Robert Finch – Head Chef
The change contributed to a noticeable lift in positive online reviews mentioning the 'beautiful presentation' of the food.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, unpack and give each plate a quick inspection.
- Before first use, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
- For particularly oily or wet foods, line the plate with a sheet of greaseproof paper.
- You're all set to start serving!
Keeping It Going
- Crucially: Never submerge in water or put in a dishwasher.
- After each use, wipe clean with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth.
- Dry immediately with a towel to prevent the wood from warping or cracking.
- To keep it looking its best, occasionally rub with a food-safe mineral oil.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this Acacia wooden round serving plate dishwasher safe?
A: No, it is strictly hand-wash only. Using a dishwasher will damage the wood and likely cause it to warp or split.
Q: Can I serve very wet or greasy food directly on it?
A: It's highly recommended to use a liner, like greaseproof paper, for very wet, oily, or saucy foods to protect the wood's finish and ensure its longevity.
Q: What is the exact size?
A: The plate has a diameter of 200mm (or 7¾ inches) and a height of 20mm.
Q: Is every single plate identical?
A: No. As acacia is a natural material, each plate features a unique grain pattern and slight variations in colour, which adds to their charm.
Q: Can these be used in a microwave or oven?
A: Absolutely not. Wood is not safe for use in a microwave or oven.
Q: How durable is the acacia wood?
A: Acacia is a dense hardwood known for its excellent durability and resistance to wear, making it a great choice for commercial use.
Q: Do the plates need to be oiled?
A: While not essential for immediate use, periodically wiping the plates with a food-safe mineral oil will help maintain their lustre and protect the wood over time.
Q: How should I store them to avoid damage?
A: Store them in a dry, well-ventilated area. Stack them carefully, perhaps with a soft cloth or paper towel between each plate to prevent scratches.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy Acacia Wood Is More Than Just a Pretty Face
Ever wondered what makes acacia wood so special for serving food? Think of it like the denim of the timber world: it’s tough, looks great, and has real character. Acacia is a dense hardwood, which means it’s naturally more durable and resistant to scratches than softer woods like pine. This is vital in a commercial kitchen where equipment needs to be robust.
Its natural density also helps it resist water penetration better than other woods. While you can't soak it, it won't be ruined by the moisture from a dressed salad or a juicy steak. Using greaseproof paper is like putting on a raincoat – extra protection for messier jobs. Choosing an acacia plate isn’t just about the rustic look; it’s a practical investment in a material that's built to last through countless services.
