My board arrived today and it's now been oiled and waiting to be used. Top quality board and really pleased with it !!
A
Jon done and excellent job, great service.
P
My Mum is absolutely obsessed with James Martin and has always wanted a chopping board like his, so naturally I wanted to get her this. It's a great addition to the Family Kitchen and is definitely something that will last for a long time to come. The only downside to it, is that it comes a bit rough and ready and would benefit from being sealed. Other than that, another purchase and a happy Customer.
K
It's absolutely fabulous and I'm very pleased, thank you
A
An absolutely beautiful board couldn't have imagined Better. Arrived quickly especially in these unprecedented times.
J
Great chopping board. I ordered two live edges. So much cheaper than others I've seen. Lovely chunky rustic look. Fast shipping even during coronavirus outbreak. Free post for such a heavy item that was very well packed. Very happy customer, would definitely recommend!
A
Looks fantastic. Really pleased with it
M
Good product but being an amateur in bespoke wood, would have preferred if the board was prepared and sold ready for use. Used the wax and buffed it but not sure I have done it properly.
Markings and cuts from the knives are the same as with previous cheaper boards, not too sure I know how to look after it. I know not to wash or put in dishwasher but water and liquid from fruits, veg and meat would always come in contact with the board so not sure what the way forward is.
D
Fantastic chopping board lovely piece of oak, very well packaged looks absolutely amazing when polished up with the board butter.
D
Looks stunning would have been five stars except I did think the bevel would have been natural and untreated.Still very happy
H
We bought this as a present for our son who is a Head Chef in a prestigious restaurant. He is very pleased with the quality and beauty of the board
M
I was extremely pleased with my chopping board, it was good quality and the inscription I requested was just perfect. Would recommend to anyone, a 5 star product and service.

Beautiful , well made oak boards . Top quality and I would recommend to anyone
S
Lovely large board 600x420x32, a beautiful surface to chop on, hadn't realised how much nicer than plastic it would be to use. Easy to wipe down, grain is beautiful. So pleased with the board, fantastic workmanship.
K
Bought as a gift to replace plastic chopping board. Recipient was delighted.
T
Bespoke sizing makes all the difference. Very happy with quality. Thank you
T
Despit delays caused by the carrier when my chopping board arrived it was better than I had anticpated, complete with a tin of wax/butter. If I need another board I will definately revisit the website.
S
Beautifully made.
