Serving Board with Handle 29 x 14cm, Acacia Wood, Leather Strap, Kesper

For the wine shop that pours by the glass and the wine bar that pair the glass with a portion for one: three slices of cured meat, two pieces of cheese, a few breadsticks. For the cocktail bar that brings a taster with the drink in the early evening and does not want to fill the small table with a plate. For the restaurant that serves the kitchen’s welcome bite on wood.

At home it is the board you slice the salami on and take straight to the table, and after dinner it goes back on the hook by the worktop.

The handle is the server’s grip. A board with no handle is carried in two hands, or balanced on the palm. With a handle one goes in each hand, and a ticket for two boards leaves in a single trip. When the venue is full, the trips between kitchen and tables are the time that runs short.

The strap deals with what comes after. Wet wood shut in a stack does not dry: it takes on a smell and in time it warps. Hung by the strap from a rail or a hook it gets air on both faces, and the next morning it is dry.

The size decides the portion. Twenty-nine centimetres by fourteen is the space for a taster for one person, not a board to share. On a small table there is still room for the glasses and the bottle.

Acacia has a marked grain, with light and dark areas. Each board comes out different from the next: on an order of twelve pieces the pattern of the wood changes, the size does not.

The three sizes in the series

This serving board with handle comes in three lengths. This 29cm one is the single portion. The 35 x 18cm is the board for two. The 45 x 22cm is the board for the centre of the table. A venue that takes all three covers its early evening food menu with one wood, and the table stays consistent.

How many to order

For a single-portion serving board with handle the count is done on the seats at peak service, not on the tables: the single portion goes out one per guest. It is worth adding a reserve, because a washed board does not go back on the floor until it is dry.

The more you buy, the less you pay: 4 pieces -5%, 6 -7%, 8 -10%, on the same item. The discount applies automatically in the basket.

Care of the wood

Wash the wood by hand, in lukewarm water with a little washing-up liquid, and dry it straight away with a cloth. It does not go in the dishwasher and is not left to soak in the sink: hot water and a long cycle make it swell and warp.

When the surface turns pale and feels dry, wipe on a thin coat of food-safe oil with a cloth, let it soak in and remove the excess. It takes a few minutes and belongs in the end-of-month clean.

Choose this if

You serve wine by the glass with a taster for one and want a serving board with handle that the team carries in one hand and hangs up at the end of the shift. The other boards, including the polyethylene one for the garnish station, are in the boards and knives category.

FAQ

Is the serving board with handle dishwasher safe? No. It is wood: wash it by hand and dry it straight away.

How many people is the 29 x 14cm size for? One. For two people there is the 35 x 18cm size.

What is the strap for? For hanging the board on a hook or a rail, so it dries in the air after washing.

Are the pieces all the same? In size, yes. In pattern, no: the grain of the acacia changes from one board to the next.
