Eco-Friendly Pine Food Boats – Stylish, Compostable Serveware for Catering & Events

Serve your food beautifully and sustainably with our pine food boats – the perfect disposable serving trays for canapés, snacks, tasting plates and street-food portions. Crafted from thin, natural pine wood, these lightweight trays add an earthy, premium look to your dishes while helping your venue reduce plastic waste.

Ideal for caterers, cafés, food trucks, grazing stylists and event planners across Australia, our biodegradable food boats give you the flexibility to present hot or cold portions without compromising on style or practicality.

Why Choose Pine Food Boats?

• 100% Compostable & Eco-Friendly

Made from responsibly sourced pine, these boats break down naturally after use – making them a smarter alternative to plastic and foam trays. Perfect for venues moving towards greener packaging choices.

• Premium, Natural Presentation

The subtle wood grain and clean lines give your dishes a rustic, modern look that elevates everything from sliders and sushi to arancini, desserts and tasting portions.

• Lightweight but Sturdy

Despite their delicate appearance, these wooden serving boats are strong enough for oily, saucy and hot dishes. Ideal for walking events, festivals and canapé service.

• Food-Safe & Chemical-Free

No coatings, plastics or harsh chemicals. Safe for direct contact with finger foods, hot snacks and single-serve meals.

• Fast Service for Busy Venues

Stack neatly, hold their shape, and make plating quick — perfect for high-volume service environments, markets, breweries, festivals and catering companies.

Sustainability Benefits

As more Australian councils move away from single-use plastics, pine boats offer a compliant, eco-forward option. When commercially composted or placed into FOGO bins (where available), they break down naturally — leaving less waste behind.

To get the most out of your eco packaging:

• Separate used boats into compost streams wherever possible
• Inform staff and guests about proper disposal
• Highlight your sustainable serveware choice on menus or signage

Perfect Pairings

Create a complete eco-friendly serving setup with:

• Wooden cutlery
