Two-Tone Oak Snack Serving Board with Painted Handle and Hanging Hole (DP14)

A small oak board with a hand-painted accent, built for one guest at a time

Milled from a single piece of solid Ukrainian oak, finished with natural food-safe oil and hand-painted along the handle end, this compact serving board is built around a single guest rather than a shared platter — a small cheese course, a spirit and dip, a pair of snacks arranged as a considered composition. The painted section carries a round through-cutout that works as both a service handle and a hanging point, so the board becomes part of the venue's décor when it's not in use rather than something that lives in a drawer. It reads as a piece of café hardware, not a novelty tray.

Solid oak, hand-painted accent finish

The board is milled from one uninterrupted piece of solid Ukrainian oak, chosen for its density, closed grain and resistance to knife marks and light acids from cheese, honey and vinegar-based dressings — the daily reality of a small-plates service. Roughly a third of the length is painted by hand in a pastel accent, and the visible brushstroke direction and rougher paint texture along the transition line are intentional. Each board carries its own hand-made signature rather than a machine-perfect finish, which reads correctly in venues that already lean into artisanal, hand-crafted material. The round through-cutout in the painted section serves as both a service handle and a hanging point behind the pass or on a wall. The oak surface is finished with a food-safe natural oil that deepens the amber tone of the grain with use and can be refreshed by the venue over time.

Made for cafés, wine bars and boutique hotels

The scale is deliberate. At around a personal-plate footprint, this board fits a specific corner of hospitality — venues serving individually plated small courses rather than shared platters. Cafés run it as a brunch snack presenter with a cordial shot, a dip and a small piece of cheese; wine bars carry it as a per-glass cheese course with two or three items and a condiment; cheese rooms and delicatessens use it as a tasting plate for one or two selections at a time. Boutique hotels and short-stay rentals present in-room amenity snacks on it, where the painted accent and hanging cutout give the object a design-piece feel between uses. Gastropubs and tea rooms build it into personalised tasting menus that arrive as a considered composition rather than a plate of food.

Two-tone finish and engraved with your brand

The pastel accent shown is one option from a broader palette. On custom orders the painted section can be matched to the venue's brand colour — from soft neutrals like sand, clay and off-white through to deeper accents like forest, terracotta or navy — and the natural oak section can carry a laser-engraved brand mark, as in the reference 'ivy & brie' example shown in the photography. Because paint is applied by hand rather than sprayed, small palette matches remain practical even at low order quantities. Board dimensions, handle shape and hanging-hole diameter can also be adjusted on request for specific glassware, plating or wall-hanging requirements.

Made to order for hospitality

A sample piece is available for approval before the full batch is produced. Boards are shipped ready for service — oiled, painted and engraved where applicable — and the natural oak section can be re-oiled by the venue over time without affecting the painted accent. Minimum order quantity, lead time and wholesale terms are handled directly by the Inko Horeca B2B team.
