Your Guide to Serving Ware
Serving ware bridges the gap between kitchen and table — platters, boards, bowls, and dishes designed for presenting food in a way that makes even simple meals feel special. A beautiful cheeseboard transforms a few wedges of cheddar into an occasion, and a handmade ceramic serving bowl elevates a salad from side dish to centrepiece.
The range spans wooden chopping and cheese boards, ceramic and stoneware platters, slate tiles, marble slabs, and metal tiered stands. Each material brings a different feel to the table, and many people build a small collection over time to suit different occasions — a rustic olive-wood board for casual suppers, a large white platter for roasts, a tiered stand for afternoon tea.
Style & Trends
Warm, natural materials like olive wood and acacia suit relaxed, Mediterranean-inspired entertaining. Clean white ceramic platters let food colours shine and suit any table setting. Slate boards with their dark, textured surface make cheeses and charcuterie pop visually. For modern entertaining, mix materials on the table — a wooden board alongside a ceramic platter and a couple of small stoneware bowls creates a relaxed, abundant feel that guests love.
What to Look For
Wooden serving boards start from £12–£25, with premium olive-wood and end-grain boards running £30–£60. Ceramic platters cost £15–£40 for everyday pieces and £40–£100 for handmade artisan designs. Marble and slate boards range from £15 to £50. Oil wooden boards monthly with food-safe mineral oil to prevent drying and cracking, and always hand-wash them rather than using the dishwasher. Ceramic and slate pieces are generally dishwasher-safe but check for metallic glazes.
Quick Checklist
- Wood boards need oiling to maintain condition
- Slate and marble platters are great for cheese and charcuterie
