How to choose the right Cutlery

• Match the cutlery pattern and finish to your concept, from traditional hotel dining to modern casual or high-volume canteen service.
• Consider weight and balance: heavier, thicker pieces suit formal dining, while lighter options work well for cafes and quick-service venues.
• Select materials that withstand intensive use and dishwashing, such as high-grade stainless steel or durable polycarbonate for schools and healthcare.
• Plan your place settings and menu: ensure you have the right mix of teaspoons, dessert spoons, soup spoons, table knives, steak knives and specialist items.
• Allow for peak covers and losses by ordering extra pieces and using cutlery storage solutions to keep service organised.
• For outdoor, takeaway or event catering, consider wooden and compostable options to support sustainability goals.

Care and maintenance

• Rinse or wash cutlery promptly after service to minimise staining, pitting and food residue build-up.
• Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners and scouring pads that can scratch polished or satin finishes.
• Use appropriate dishwasher racks, avoid overloading and remove cutlery as soon as the cycle finishes to prevent water spots.
• Dry thoroughly before storage and store in cutlery trays or holders to protect edges and surfaces.
• Regularly check for bent tines, damaged blades or loose handles and remove worn pieces from circulation.
• For wooden or plastic cutlery, follow manufacturer guidelines on maximum temperatures and recommended cleaning methods.
