Acacia Cheese Board Set with Black Bowl, Slate and Cutlery – Brown

This cheese board set brings together warm acacia wood, a grey slate panel and a small black bowl, giving you a ready-made spread for entertaining. The wooden base acts as both a tray and a serving surface, with the slate slotting in to hold soft cheeses, crackers or charcuterie while the bowl keeps olives, chutney or nuts contained. Measuring 36cm wide and 23cm deep, it holds a generous selection without taking over the table, and at just 4cm high it stacks and stores easily between uses.

Acacia has a close, hardwearing grain with natural variation in tone, so each board carries its own pattern of light and dark streaks. Paired with the cool grey of the slate, it reads as relaxed and practical rather than fussy, working across both modern kitchens and more traditional dining rooms. Set it out on a worktop for casual grazing, carry it through as part of a dinner spread, or use it as everyday serveware for cheese and fruit. The included cutlery lets guests help themselves, and the slate can be chalked with cheese names for a homely touch.

To keep it in good order, wipe the acacia and slate with a damp cloth and dry straight away rather than soaking or putting anything in the dishwasher. An occasional rub of food-safe oil keeps the wood from drying out, while the black bowl and cutlery need only a gentle hand wash. Cared for this way, this tray and serveware set stays a dependable part of your entertaining kit for years.

What is the board made from?

The base is acacia wood, chosen for its hard, close grain and natural colour variation, paired with a grey slate panel and a small black bowl. It is built for real use as serveware rather than for display alone.

How should I style it?

Arrange cheeses and crackers on the slate, fill the bowl with olives, chutney or nuts, and lay the cutlery alongside. It suits both casual grazing on a worktop and a fuller dinner spread carried to the table.

How many people does it serve?

At 36cm wide and 23cm deep it comfortably holds a spread for a small gathering or a shared starter. For larger groups you can pair it with additional dishes and trays.

Is the slate suitable for writing on?

Yes, the grey slate takes chalk well, so you can label cheeses or add a note for guests, then wipe it clean afterwards.

How do I clean and care for it?

Wipe the acacia and slate with a damp cloth and dry promptly rather than soaking or using the dishwasher. Oil the wood occasionally with a food-safe product, and hand wash the bowl and cutlery.
