Description
Our rectangular slate serving board brings a natural, understated quality to the table. Cut from solid stone with a grey tone that shifts subtly across its surface, each board carries the faint markings and matte finish that only real slate can offer. No two are quite the same, so you can expect slight variations in shade and texture that speak to the honesty of the material. Measuring 36cm wide and 18cm deep with a slim 1cm profile, it gives you a generous flat area for presenting food without taking over the table.
This piece works well as everyday serveware and slots easily into a wider range of trays and boards you might already own. Use it for a cheese and charcuterie spread, laying out crackers, olives and slices of cured meat, or as a base for canapes at a gathering. The dark grey stone sets off pale cheeses, fresh figs and bright garnishes beautifully, and it looks equally at home on a rustic kitchen table or a more pared-back modern setting. A little chalk lets you write labels straight onto the surface for a relaxed, informal touch.
Slate is hard-wearing and made for regular use. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth and mild soap after serving, then dry it thoroughly to keep the surface in good order. Avoid soaking or dishwashing, as prolonged water can dull the stone. A light rub of food-safe oil now and then revives the colour and gives the tray a soft sheen.

Frequently Asked
Is this made from real slate?
Yes, it is cut from solid stone with a natural matte finish. Each board has its own markings and slight tonal variation, so yours will be unique.
How should I style it when serving?
The grey stone makes a good backdrop for cheeses, cured meats, breads and fruit. Group items loosely and add fresh garnishes for contrast, or use chalk to label what you are serving.
Is the size right for a cheese board?
At 36cm by 18cm it holds a selection for two to four people comfortably, and its slim 1cm depth means it sits neatly on the table or within a larger tray.
Can I use it as part of a wider range of serveware?
Absolutely. It pairs easily with other trays and boards, so you can build a coordinated look across your table.
How do I keep it clean?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry fully. Avoid soaking or the dishwasher, and oil occasionally to keep the colour rich.
