Wooden Cheese Platters & Cutting Boards for Hotels
It is 7:15 in the morning and the first guest at the breakfast buffet lifts a glass cloche. Underneath, the brie is soft, the cheddar has not dried at the edges and the grapes still look fresh. That small moment is what a good cheese board does: it protects the food while still putting it on show.
For more than four decades, Makrey has helped hotel F&B teams dress their buffet counters, and wood remains one of the most requested materials for cheese and bread stations. This collection brings together wooden cheese platters with glass cloches, thick wooden cutting boards and a bread cutting box for buffets, live counters and banquets.
Wooden Cheese Boards and Commercial Cutting Boards: The Range
Wooden Cheese Board Sets with Glass Cloche
Each wooden cheese board comes as a set with a glass cloche, so cheese stays covered between servings and the counter stays neat. Choose the style by what you are serving:
Cheese platter with cloche: 10" platter with a 9" cloche, 12" with an 11" cloche and 14" with a 12" cloche, for a mixed cheese selection.
Cheese platter with handle and cloche: the same three sizes, with a handle that makes the cloche easier for guests to lift.
Cheese platter with high cloche: a 12" platter with a taller 11" cloche, for whole cheese wheels, cakes and pastries.
Large cheese platter with cloche: 15.5" x 10" high and 13" x 9" high, the centrepiece size for a banquet cheese table.
A cheese board set like this also works as a covered display for cut fruit, cookies or a single cake on a café counter.
Large Wood Cutting Boards for Live Counters
Our wooden cutting boards are 2" thick, which keeps them heavy and stable on the counter while a chef slices bread, cheese or roast meat in front of guests. They come in 18" x 12" in three styles, including a checkered pattern, and a long 24" x 8" board for baguettes, terrines and charcuterie that also doubles as a cheese cutting board.
These are commercial cutting boards made for display carving and service. Think of each one as a commercial chopping board for the front of house: unlike a regular kitchen cutting board, it is thick and heavy enough to stay put while a chef carves in front of guests. For raw meat prep in the main kitchen, separate colour-coded boards are still the safer choice.
Bread Cutting Box
The wooden bread cutting box measures 20" x 14" x 2" and gives the bread station its own carving area, so loaves can be sliced to order without crumbs spreading across the buffet.
Choosing a Wooden Chopping Board for Hotel Service
For cheese and charcuterie: a cheese platter with cloche for the buffet, or the 24" x 8" board for a sharing platter at the table.
For a live carving or bread counter: an 18" x 12" board or the bread cutting box.
For a high-volume banquet: the 15.5" cheese platter as a centrepiece, with smaller platters around it.
A heavy wooden chopping board at the front of the counter also signals to guests that the food is cut fresh, which is often the reason they walk up to the station.
Setting Up a Cheese and Bread Station
Put hard cheeses like cheddar and parmesan at one end and soft cheeses like brie at the other, so knives do not carry flavours across. Take cheese out of the chiller about 30 minutes before service, as most cheeses taste better closer to room temperature, and keep them under the cloche until guests arrive.
Lift one platter on risers and elevations to add height, serve bread from a bread basket beside the cutting board, and label each cheese with buffet tag holders. For extra covers, browse our cloches, and for a warm cheese course, add a fondue pot. Serving pizza? See our pizza platters and wider range of platters and serving boards.
How to Care for Wooden Cutting Boards
Wash wooden boards by hand with warm water and mild soap, and dry them standing on their edge so both sides get air. Never soak them or put them in a dishwasher, as water makes wood swell and crack. Rub the boards with a food-safe mineral oil once or twice a month to keep them from drying out, and more often in dry winter months. Glass cloches can be washed like regular glassware.

Cheese Board FAQs

The 18" x 12" board, 2" thick, suits most live counters. Use the 24" x 8" board for long breads and charcuterie.
Can wooden cutting boards go in the dishwasher?
No. Wash them by hand, dry them on their edge and oil them regularly.
What is a cheese board set?
A cheese board set is a board sold with matching pieces. Our sets pair a wooden cheese board with a glass cloche to keep cheese covered.
