Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Gilded Grape, a cosy wine bar in Harrogate, wanted to move away from standard white plates for their popular cheese and charcuterie selections to create a more premium, memorable experience for their guests.
"We switched to the Olympia acacia boards and the visual impact was immediate. They feel so much more special and our customers constantly comment on how lovely they look. They photograph beautifully, which has been brilliant for our Instagram!"
James Cavendish – Owner, The Gilded Grape
The change resulted in their sharing platters becoming the most photographed items on the menu, significantly boosting their social media engagement and organic reach.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before its first use, give the board a quick wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry it completely.
- For extra longevity, you can season the wood by rubbing a small amount of food-safe mineral oil into the surface.
- Let the oil soak in for a few hours (or overnight), then wipe off any excess. It's now ready for service!
Keeping It Going
- Always hand wash your board. Never put it in a commercial dishwasher or leave it to soak in water.
- Use a soft cloth or sponge with a little mild detergent. Harsh scourers can damage the wood.
- Dry the board upright immediately after washing to prevent warping.
- Re-apply a coat of food-safe oil every month or so to keep the wood from drying out and looking its best.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this board dishwasher safe?
A: No, the Olympia HX390 is strictly hand-wash only. Using a dishwasher can cause the wood to warp, crack, and lose its finish.
Q: Can I use this as a cutting board?
A: While you can cut on it, it is designed primarily for serving. Sharp knives will score the surface of the wood over time, which is something to keep in mind.
Q: Will the grain and colour be exactly the same on every board?
A: No, and that's part of its charm! As acacia is a natural wood, each board will have its own unique grain pattern and slight variations in colour.
Q: What is the best way to clean it after service?
A: A quick wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild washing-up liquid is all you need. Be sure to dry it thoroughly straight away.
Q: Is the metal handle firmly attached?
A: Yes, the handle is securely fixed to the board to ensure it is safe and sturdy for carrying, even when loaded with food.
Q: Can I serve hot food directly on the board?
A: It's not recommended for serving items straight from the oven or grill. It's best for breads, cheeses, cured meats, fruits, and other ambient temperature foods.
Q: How heavy is it to carry?
A: It weighs 1.55kg, which is substantial enough to feel high-quality but light enough for staff to carry comfortably and safely.
Q: What does 'not suitable for wet or greasy food' mean?
A: It means you should avoid placing oily foods like olives or items with dressings directly on the wood, as the oil can soak in and cause stains. Use small bowls or ramekins for these items.
The Olympia Promise: Presentation That Performs
Olympia has built its reputation in the UK hospitality industry by understanding that kitchen and tableware needs to be more than just functional – it needs to be reliable, day in, day out. This commercial wooden serving board is a perfect example of that philosophy. The choice of acacia isn't just for its stunning looks; it's a dense, durable hardwood that resists wear and tear far better than softer woods. This isn't a decorative piece that will need replacing after one busy season. It's an investment in your presentation that is built to handle the pace of a professional environment. Choosing Olympia means you're equipping your business with products that balance great value, lasting quality, and the aesthetic appeal that keeps customers coming back.

You’ve probably seen 'FSC-Certified' on products before, but what does it actually mean for your business? Essentially, it’s a guarantee from the Forest Stewardship Council that the acacia wood used in this board comes from a responsibly managed forest. This goes way beyond just planting a few trees back; it ensures that the entire ecosystem is protected, local communities and workers' rights are respected, and the forest's future is secure.
Think of it like the 'Red Tractor' logo for food, but for timber. It’s a simple, powerful story you can share with your customers. By choosing this board, you’re not just buying a great product; you’re supporting a healthier planet and ethical practices, a value that more and more customers are looking for when they decide where to spend their money.
Who Should Buy This?
