Chopping Boards

A good chopping board is the quiet foundation of every kitchen, and this collection stocks the bamboo boards we use ourselves: solid, kind to knife edges, and sized for real cooking rather than ornament.

Bamboo earns its place for practical reasons. It is harder than most woods, so it resists scarring, yet it has enough give to keep your knives sharper for longer. It resists water better than hardwood, which matters in a board that gets washed daily, and it is naturally less prone to harbouring smells — useful in a kitchen that sees a lot of garlic, ginger and spring onion. The range runs from a compact fruit board for small jobs up to a forty-centimetre butcher-style block that will handle a whole chicken or a weekend's worth of stir-fry prep. The dual-sided board is a sensible choice for keeping raw and cooked prep separate.

Care is simple: hand wash, dry upright, and rub with a little food-safe oil every few weeks. Keep bamboo away from the dishwasher — the heat and steam will warp it.

Every chopping board is delivered UK-wide from our Manchester store, with free delivery on orders over £75. If your current board rocks on the worktop or smells of last week's onions, it is time.
