How to choose the right Old English Cutlery

• Decide which place settings you need, from tea and dessert pieces to full table knives and forks, based on your menu and service style.
• Consider the weight and balance of the cutlery to match your venue, choosing a feel that suits casual dining, fine dining or banqueting.
• Plan quantities around peak covers, allowing for multiple sittings, breakages and back-of-house stock to avoid shortages.
• Match the polished finish and pattern with your existing crockery, glassware and table linen for a cohesive front of house look.
• For new openings or refurbishments, use sample sets to test the pattern on your tables before placing a full order.
• Ensure the range you select is fully dishwasher safe and suitable for intensive commercial use.

Care and maintenance

• Wash Old English cutlery promptly after service, using commercial dishwasher cycles recommended for stainless steel.
• Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners that can dull the polished finish or cause surface scratching over time.
• Dry and polish pieces quickly after washing to minimise water spots and maintain a high-shine appearance.
• Store cutlery in dedicated cutlery trays or holders to prevent damage and make pre-service setup faster.
• Periodically inspect for bent tines, damaged edges or heavy wear and replace items to keep table settings consistent.
• Rotate stock in use so that wear is even across the range, preserving a uniform look on every table.
