Slate Serving Boards

Slate Serving Boards provide a stylish, hard-wearing base for serving sharing platters, cheeses, charcuterie and desserts in busy hospitality venues.

How to choose the right Slate Serving Boards

• Match board size to your menu items, from individual portions to large sharing platters or buffet displays.
• Consider GN-compatible trays if you run buffets, carveries or chilled display units for easy integration.
• Think about service style: choose lighter boards for frequent table turns and heavier pieces for dramatic centre-of-table presentation.
• Allow for storage space, selecting stackable shapes and sizes that fit your shelves or pass area.
• Plan quantities based on peak service, ensuring enough boards to rotate between plating, service and washing.
• Pair slate with complementary serveware such as ramekins, sauce pots and baskets for a cohesive look.

Care and maintenance

• Wash slate boards in warm, mild detergent and avoid harsh abrasives that can damage the surface.
• Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots and maintain a clean, professional appearance.
• Use non-metallic utensils where possible to minimise scratching and preserve the natural finish.
• Inspect boards regularly for chips or cracks and remove damaged items from service for safety.
• Store boards flat and stacked carefully to avoid edge damage during busy shifts.
• Follow any manufacturer guidance on sealing or conditioning the slate to extend service life.
