Why this board earns its place
This board is a service statement. The acacia wood has a warm, contemporary finish that reads both professional and approachable — the kind of board you see at a well-designed gastropub or neighbourhood restaurant where thought goes into every detail. At 340mm × 240mm, it's sized for generous single servings: enough space for a main protein, vegetables, and a sauce pot without crowding.
The recessed ramekin recess is the clever bit. It's cut to hold 70mm Olympia ramekins, which means you can serve a main course with an integrated sauce, dressing, or extra on a single board without the ramekin sliding or tipping. The recess keeps the pot stable even if the board gets jostled during service. This is a real efficiency gain in a fast-paced kitchen — one composed plate, nothing separate.
Acacia is a hardwood — dense, durable, and naturally beautiful. It's got grain character without being flashy. The 15mm thickness feels substantial in hand, sits well on a table, and is thick enough to protect your surface from the ramekin base. Because it's wood, hand-wash it straight after use and dry it immediately. Don't soak it, and avoid the dishwasher, which will warp and split the wood over time.
