How to choose the right Bead Cutlery

• Decide which pieces you need for service, from teaspoons and soup spoons to dessert and table knives and forks, based on your menu and service style.
• Consider pack sizes and quantities so you have enough bead cutlery to cover peak service, turnarounds and any losses or breakages.
• Check the weight and balance of the range to match your venue, choosing heavier pieces for fine dining and lighter options for casual settings.
• Match the bead pattern finish with your existing crockery, glassware and table linen to create a consistent front-of-house look.
• Allow for storage space in cutlery drawers, holders or polishing stations when selecting the number and mix of items.
• Review brand options, such as established manufacturers, if you want a specific profile or to match existing stock.

Care and maintenance

• Wash bead cutlery promptly after service, using commercial dishwasher cycles and suitable detergents to prevent staining and spotting.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals on handles and blades to protect the polished finish and beaded detailing.
• Dry and polish cutlery fully after washing, especially in hard water areas, to maintain shine and reduce water marks.
• Store knives, forks and spoons in cutlery trays or holders to prevent scratching and to keep sets organised for fast service.
• Inspect regularly for bent tines, damaged edges or excessive wear and replace items to maintain a professional table presentation.
• Follow manufacturer guidance on dishwasher temperatures and chemicals to maximise the lifespan of your bead cutlery.
