Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Woolsack Inn, a bustling gastropub in Stow-on-the-Wold, wanted to switch from standard porcelain to tableware that better matched their cosy, Cotswold-stone interior and focus on local produce. They chose the Olympia FT612 round plates to enhance their food presentation.
"Our food is all about local, quality ingredients, and these plates just complete the picture. They feel special, and our customers constantly comment on how lovely they look. They really help the food shine."
David Chen – Head Chef
The switch helped create a more cohesive brand identity and led to a noticeable increase in positive social media mentions of their food presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, give each plate a quick check over.
- Before the first use, wipe them down with a clean, damp cloth.
- Remember to use greaseproof paper for particularly oily or saucy dishes to protect the wood.
- Stack them carefully in your storage area, avoiding placing very heavy items on top.
Keeping It Going
- Clean promptly after use with a cloth and a little mild washing-up liquid.
- Never, ever submerge them in water or put them in the dishwasher.
- Dry each plate thoroughly with a tea towel straight after washing.
- To keep them looking their best, you can occasionally treat them with a food-safe wood oil.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these plates completely food safe?
A: Yes, they are perfectly safe for serving food. For particularly wet or oily dishes, we always recommend using a sheet of greaseproof paper to best protect the wood's finish.
Q: Can I serve hot food on these wooden plates?
A: Absolutely. They are well-suited for serving hot food items like burgers, pies, loaded fries, or even as stylish 250mm Acacia pizza plates.
Q: Are all the plates identical in appearance?
A: No, and that's one of their best features! Because they are made from natural acacia wood, each plate has a unique grain and slight variations in colour, adding to their charm.
Q: How much do the Olympia FT612 round plates weigh?
A: Each plate weighs approximately 0.33kg. This gives them a quality, sturdy feel without being too heavy for staff to carry multiple plates at once.
Q: Will they stain if I serve something like beetroot on them?
A: Foods with strong natural colourants can potentially stain the wood. This is another reason why using greaseproof paper is a great habit to get into with these plates.
Q: What are the exact dimensions?
A: The plates have a diameter of 250mm (or 9¾ inches) and a height of 20mm, with a slight lip around the edge.
Q: Can customers cut food on the plate with a sharp knife?
A: While the acacia wood is hard and durable, we advise against vigorous cutting with sharp steak knives as this can score the surface over time.
Q: How should they be stored?
A: Once clean and thoroughly dry, they should be stacked neatly in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources.

Why Acacia Wood Makes All The Difference
Ever wondered what makes acacia wood so special for tableware? It’s not just about the lovely rustic look. Acacia is a dense hardwood, which makes it naturally durable and resistant to scratches – a must-have quality in a busy kitchen. Think of it like a good pair of leather boots versus trainers. Both do the job, but acacia wood, like leather, has a natural character and brings a premium quality that standard ceramic can't replicate. The real magic is in the grain; each plate's pattern is like a fingerprint. This means you’re not just serving on a plate, you’re presenting on a unique piece that adds to the story of your food.
Who Should Buy This?
- Perfect for serving hearty ploughman's lunches or gourmet burgers on greaseproof paper for an authentic look.
- An excellent way to showcase signature cakes, fresh pastries, or artisan bread selections beautifully.
- These Acacia wood restaurant plates are the ideal match for an organic, locally sourced menu aesthetic.
- A stylish and durable choice for serving canapés or buffet items at weddings and corporate events.
