Collection: Serve Acacia

Acacia serving boards — what they're for

Acacia wood is dense, naturally water-resistant, and beautifully grained — making it one of the best timber choices for commercial serving boards. Our Chef Inox acacia range covers the formats Australian venues actually use for service: rectangular paddle boards, GN-format display trays, butcher's blocks, and slim platter boards for charcuterie, sushi, and shared starters.

Formats in the range

• Acacia display trays (GN-format): GN 1/4 to GN 1/1 — compatible with standard commercial display setups, gastronorm racks, and bain marie wells. Ideal for buffet stations, brunch service, and hotel breakfast presentations.
• Paddle boards: Long-handled paddle-shaped boards — pizza service, sharing platters, charcuterie, and bread service. 165–530mm length range.
• Serving boards (rectangular and round): Standard tabletop serving sizes for steakhouse mains, cheese plates, and shared antipasti.
• Butcher's blocks: Heavy-duty acacia for steakhouse and butchery presentation.
• Marble boards: Pair acacia with marble for charcuterie and cheese — marble holds chill, acacia carries presentation.

Where acacia fits — and where it doesn't

Acacia is at home on premium tables: steakhouse mains, charcuterie and cheese, sushi, brunch service, and breakfast platters. It's not the right choice for raw protein prep (HACCP requires colour-coded boards for raw meat), high-volume cutting (use PE), or anywhere that requires dishwasher cycling. For prep-side board work, see the polyethylene range; acacia is a service board only.

Care and longevity

• Hand-wash only: Dishwasher heat and chemistry split wood — wash by hand and dry on edge.
• Oil monthly with food-grade mineral oil: Keeps the surface sealed against moisture; restores the natural grain and colour.
• Sand and re-oil if scarred: Light sanding restores the surface for years of service — extend the life of every board you buy.
• Replace if cracked deeply: Cracks harbour bacteria — a deeply-cracked board fails an audit. Don't try to repair, replace.

Pair with

• Mangowood serving boards for matched timber service.
• Wooden cutting boards for the broader timber range.
• Display stands for tiered service presentation.
