£1.68(£2.02 inc VAT)
The APS Hong Kong Oriental Spoon is a small melamine serving spoon designed for buffet presentations, canapé service, and event catering. Made from melamine in a clean gloss black finish, it suits both individual portion service and shared-platter arrangements where presentation matters.
In a busy event or banqueting environment, these spoons are commonly used alongside slate boards, platters, and small dishes to complete a consistent table or station presentation. The black finish holds up well against light-coloured foods and sauces, making it a practical choice where visual contrast is part of the display. Melamine is more durable than disposable alternatives and handles repeated dishwasher cycles reliably, which matters when you're running multiple service turns in a single day.
- Suitable for canapé, buffet, and event food presentation
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward turnaround between services
- Reusable melamine construction reduces waste versus disposables
- Black finish works well against light-coloured foods and garnishes
- Consistent styling across a range of APS Hong Kong serveware
These spoons are most appropriate for light individual-portion service rather than high-volume ladle work. If you're equipping a larger buffet station that needs deeper-bowled or higher-capacity utensils, it's worth considering whether a different format would better suit the service style.
If you're building out a complete buffet or event presentation and want to make sure the pieces work together, the team is happy to help you put the right selection together.
£10.41(£12.49 inc VAT)
The Amefa 12" slotted buffet spatula is a polished 18/10 stainless steel serving utensil designed for buffet and display counter use in hotels, restaurants, and event catering environments. The slotted blade allows liquid or light sauces to drain as food is served, keeping the presentation tray cleaner and reducing mess at the point of service.
At 310mm in length, it sits comfortably within a standard chafing dish or gastronorm display setup, giving service staff adequate reach without the handle interfering with adjacent dishes. The polished 18/10 stainless steel finish is hardwearing, resists staining, and holds up well through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without dulling or distorting.
- Slotted blade reduces liquid transfer during service
- Polished finish maintains a professional appearance on open buffet displays
- 18/10 stainless steel withstands heavy use and frequent machine washing
- Suitable for use with chafing dishes and GN display trays
This spatula is well suited to operations where buffet presentation matters — hotel breakfast service, carvery setups, conference catering, and similar environments. It is a single-utensil option; for larger buffet setups requiring a full coordinated range of serving pieces, it is worth considering whether a matched set would better serve your display. If you are putting together a complete buffet service specification or are unsure which utensils best suit a particular format, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£22.94(£27.53 inc VAT)
These are straightforward, well-made serving tongs from Amefa's premium buffet utensil range. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel with a polished finish, they are designed for use at buffet counters, carvery stations, and self-service displays where both appearance and durability matter.
In a busy buffet or banqueting environment, serving utensils take a lot of handling — by staff setting up, by guests, and during repeated washing cycles. The 18/10 stainless steel construction holds up well under these conditions, resisting corrosion and maintaining its polished appearance over time without the tarnishing or pitting that can affect lower-grade alloys.
From a practical standpoint, tongs at this length give guests a comfortable reach across a standard chafing dish or buffet bowl without their hands getting close to hot food or serving vessels. Key practical points:
- Polished finish presents well on a buffet counter or display table
- 18/10 stainless steel resists corrosion and repeated warewashing
- 300mm length suits standard chafing dishes and serving bowls
- Lightweight enough for guest self-service use
- Part of a coordinated range, useful for matching across a buffet line
There are no installation requirements for utensils of this type. They are dishwasher safe and straightforward to maintain. For high-turnover operations running multiple sittings, having adequate quantity in rotation is worth considering — a common oversight when setting up buffet service.
These tongs are a practical choice for hotels, restaurants, contract caterers, and event venues running buffet or carvery service. For operations needing a broader coordinated set of buffet utensils, the wider Amefa range covers spoons, ladles, and serving forks in matching styles.
If you are equipping a full buffet line or event setup and want to ensure consistency across utensil types, our team is happy to advise on what works well together.
£125.00(£150.00 inc VAT)
These dressing spoons from Amefa's buffet range are made from 18/10 stainless steel and finished with a black PVD coating. Supplied in a pack of 12, they are a practical way to equip or refresh a full self-service station in one order with a consistent look across the counter.
In a buffet or carvery setting, front-of-house presentation carries real weight. The black PVD finish provides a clear visual contrast against lighter chafing dishes and serving vessels, which helps guests read a spread quickly during a busy service. PVD coatings are more resilient than paint or lacquer — they bond at a surface level rather than sitting on top — so the finish holds up through regular front-of-house handling and commercial dishwasher cycles without flaking or fading noticeably over normal service life.
- Dishwasher safe, supporting quick turnaround between sittings
- Uniform finish across the full pack for a tidy, coordinated counter
- Suited to dressings, sauces, and light accompaniments in self-service formats
- 18/10 stainless steel construction resists corrosion under regular use
These spoons are well suited to hotel buffets, event catering operations, and restaurant self-service stations where a consistent aesthetic matters. They are not designed for portioning dense or heavy foods — for that kind of work, a heavier-gauge serving utensil would be more appropriate.
If you are fitting out a full buffet station and want to discuss quantities or matching pieces from the same range, the team is happy to help you work through what makes sense for your setup.
£114.00(£136.80 inc VAT)
These meat serving forks are part of Amefa's Buffet range, designed for use at carvery counters, hot buffet stations, and event catering setups where a consistent, considered presentation is expected. The body is constructed from 18/10 stainless steel and finished with a black PVD coating, giving the utensil a clean, uniform appearance that suits contemporary buffet presentations. Supplied in a pack of 12, they allow operators to equip a full station or maintain a complete rotation without the difficulty of sourcing pieces individually.
In regular service, the black PVD finish holds up well against repeated handling and commercial dishwasher cycles. The 18/10 stainless steel base provides the corrosion resistance expected of professional catering utensils, and the dishwasher-safe construction supports efficient turnaround between sittings. The consistent pack quantity also makes restocking straightforward when pieces need to be retired from service.
- Black PVD finish over 18/10 stainless steel for a uniform buffet counter look
- Corrosion-resistant construction suited to regular commercial use
- Dishwasher safe, supporting efficient turnaround between service periods
- Pack of 12 simplifies station setup and stock rotation
- Suited to carvery, hot buffet, and event catering environments
These forks are well suited to hotels, pub carveries, event venues, and contract caterers running regular buffet service. If you are equipping multiple stations or building out a full matched utensil set, it is worth looking across the broader Amefa Buffet range to maintain consistency throughout your presentation.
If you are unsure which pieces best suit your service format or need help putting together a complete set, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
£118.00(£141.60 inc VAT)
These buffet meat forks from Amefa are part of a dedicated buffet serving range built for carvery stations, hot buffet counters, and self-service displays. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel with a black PVD finish, they are designed to present well at the pass while standing up to the repeated handling that comes with busy buffet service.
The black PVD coating does more than provide a consistent front-of-house appearance. It adds a degree of surface hardness over uncoated stainless, which helps the forks hold their finish through regular commercial use and repeated dishwasher cycles. For operations where serving utensils go through the wash multiple times per shift, that durability matters.
- Black PVD finish maintains a consistent, professional appearance at the buffet counter
- 18/10 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and everyday wear
- Fully dishwasher safe for high-turnover service environments
- Pack of 12 supports adequate par levels across a buffet run
- Suited to carvery, hot buffet, and self-service counter formats
The pack of 12 is a practical quantity for hotels, event caterers, restaurants running carvery service, and contract caterers operating regular buffet formats. Having sufficient utensil numbers in circulation reduces the pressure on front-of-house staff to retrieve and turn around serving pieces mid-service.
If you are building out a full black-finish buffet serving set or want to confirm how these forks sit alongside other Amefa pieces in the same finish, we are happy to help you check compatibility across the range before you place an order.
£230.00(£276.00 inc VAT)
These serving tongs from Amefa are made from 18/10 stainless steel and finished with a PVD copper coating. PVD — physical vapour deposition — is a surface treatment that bonds a consistent copper-toned finish to the steel without the patination, tarnishing, or discolouration associated with raw copper. The practical result is a utensil that holds its appearance over time, regardless of how often it is used and washed.
Supplied as a pack of 12, they are well suited to buffet counters, carvery stations, salad bars, and self-service displays where presentation consistency matters alongside day-to-day function. For operators running a coordinated front-of-house look, the stable copper finish means pieces remain visually matched across a full service run and through repeated wash cycles.
- PVD coating resists patination, maintaining a consistent copper appearance over time
- 18/10 stainless steel base provides reliable corrosion resistance and durability
- Dishwasher safe, supporting quick and straightforward turnaround between sittings
- Pack of 12 covers multi-station buffet setups without repeated reordering
- Multipurpose design handles a broad range of buffet and carvery food types
Dishwasher compatibility is worth noting for any front-of-house utensil. These tongs can pass through a commercial dishwasher or glasswasher without damage to the PVD finish, which keeps servicing practical during and between sittings. Amefa back the coating with a 2-year warranty, which reflects reasonable confidence in its performance under normal commercial service conditions.
These tongs are a practical choice for hotels, event caterers, restaurants, and contract catering operations running buffet or self-service formats where a tidy, consistent presentation is a priority. If you're working out quantities for a specific setup or want to discuss finishing options across a wider buffet range, the team is happy to help.
£119.00(£142.80 inc VAT)
These gravy ladles from Amefa's Buffet series are constructed from 18/10 stainless steel and finished with a black PVD coating. They are supplied in a pack of 12, making them a practical choice for operators setting up or fully restocking a carvery or buffet counter where a consistent presentation across the service line is the aim.
In a busy buffet or carvery environment, ladles see considerable daily punishment — repeated dipping into hot liquids, resting on warm surfaces, and multiple dishwasher cycles. The 18/10 stainless steel handles this routine well, and the PVD coating is designed to resist chipping and fading under normal commercial conditions. Having a full pack to hand also means the line can continue uninterrupted when individual pieces are in the wash.
- Dishwasher safe, reducing turnaround time between service periods
- Black PVD finish complements dark or slate-effect servingware
- 18/10 stainless steel resists corrosion and staining in wet environments
- Pack of 12 covers a full counter set-up without separate orders
These ladles are well suited to hotel carveries, pub restaurants, school canteens, and any operation running a staffed or self-serve buffet format. They sit within Amefa's wider Buffet range, which covers serving spoons, tongs, and slotted spoons in the same black PVD finish — useful if a fully coordinated servery is the goal.
If you're building out a complete buffet set-up and want to make sure everything works together, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.
£10.03(£12.04 inc VAT)
This is a 310mm slotted serving spoon from Amefa's buffet utensil range, made from polished 18/10 stainless steel. The slotted bowl allows liquid and light sauces to drain away as food is served, which is a practical requirement for most buffet and carvery presentations where pooling liquid would affect presentation or portion control.
In a buffet or self-service setting, utensil quality is noticed by guests. A well-finished, substantial spoon communicates care in presentation and holds up to repeated handling across a full service without bending, discolouring, or becoming difficult to grip. Amefa's 18/10 grade is a reliable choice for commercial use — it resists staining and corrosion well even with frequent dishwasher cycles.
- Slotted bowl drains liquid cleanly during portioning
- Polished finish suits formal buffet and hotel presentation
- 18/10 stainless steel withstands heavy-use dishwasher cycles
- Practical length for reaching into standard buffet chafing dishes
This spoon is suited to hotels, restaurants, event caterers, and contract catering operations running buffet or self-service formats. It is a straightforward, dependable utensil rather than a specialist piece — most operations will want several in rotation to maintain table standards throughout service. For very high-volume operations or those with specific ergonomic or display requirements, it is worth considering whether a heavier or differently proportioned utensil would serve better.
If you are kitting out a full buffet line and want to make sure your utensil selection works consistently across the service, our team is happy to help you put the right pieces together.
£96.34(£115.61 inc VAT)
These small serving spoons from Amefa's Buffet range are a practical choice for operators setting up buffet counters, carvery stations, or self-service displays. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel and finished with a black PVD coating, they offer a cleaner, more considered look than standard bright-steel alternatives — useful where presentation is part of the guest experience.
The black PVD finish is applied to the steel rather than being a surface paint or lacquer, which means it holds up better under regular commercial use and repeated dishwasher cycles. For front-of-house buffet applications where utensils are in constant rotation, that durability matters. The spoons are fully dishwasher safe, which keeps turnover straightforward during a busy service.
Supplied in a pack of 12, the quantity suits most initial set-ups and means you have enough in rotation to maintain a fully stocked station while others are being washed. Key practical points worth noting:
- Black PVD coating provides a durable, consistent finish resistant to regular dishwashing
- 18/10 stainless steel construction resists corrosion over sustained use
- Pack of 12 supports continuous rotation across a buffet station
- Suitable for hotels, events catering, carveries, and café buffet counters
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward cleaning and fast turnaround
These spoons are best suited to venues running regular buffet or self-service formats where a coordinated black utensil set fits the presentation style. If you're equipping a larger station or need a full matching range across multiple utensil types, it's worth getting in touch to make sure you're ordering the right quantities and formats for your layout.
£125.00(£150.00 inc VAT)
These dressing spoons from Amefa's Buffet range are serving utensils designed for front-of-house buffet, carvery, and self-service presentation. Each spoon is constructed from 18/10 stainless steel and finished with a PVD copper coating, giving the appearance of warm, polished copper without the upkeep that genuine copper or copper-plated pieces require. They are supplied in packs of twelve.
In a buffet or carvery environment, the visual consistency of serving pieces across a station matters. Because PVD coatings are applied at a molecular level rather than layered over the surface like conventional plating, the finish is considerably more resistant to the patination, discolouration, and wear that copper-toned utensils would normally develop over time. Regular dishwasher use, which would accelerate degradation on plated pieces, does not present the same concern here — the set should maintain a uniform appearance across repeated cycles and extended service use.
Practical advantages for catering operations include:
- Dishwasher safe, supporting fast turnaround between service periods
- PVD finish resists patination and maintains appearance across the full set
- Pack of 12 allows rotation across multiple stations without visual mismatch
- No tarnishing or specialist polishing required between services
- Suitable for salads, dressings, cold accompaniments, and carvery sides
There are no installation requirements for these utensils. Storage is straightforward, though it is worth noting that abrasive cleaners and steel wool should be avoided, as they can compromise the PVD surface over time. For operations cycling utensils through the dishwasher multiple times daily, keeping pieces in a rack or designated tray rather than loose in a drawer helps prevent surface contact damage.
These spoons are well suited to hotels, contract caterers, event venues, and restaurants running buffet or carvery service where a copper-tone aesthetic fits the presentation brief. The Amefa Buffet range includes additional serving pieces in coordinating finishes, which is worth considering if you are building out a full matched set across multiple stations.
If you are putting together a buffet setup and want to talk through quantities or coordinating pieces, the team is glad to help you work it out.
£69.53(£83.44 inc VAT)
These cold meat forks are part of Amefa's Buffet serving range, designed for professional buffet and carvery presentation. Each fork is constructed from 18/10 stainless steel and finished with a PVD copper coating that gives the appearance of genuine copper without the maintenance concerns associated with natural copper — the finish does not patina or dull with regular use, so presentation stays consistent over time.
In a buffet or carvery environment, the visual coherence of serving utensils matters. The copper PVD finish is well suited to venues that want a warmer, more distinctive table aesthetic without introducing items that require specialist cleaning or polishing. Because the forks are dishwasher safe, they can move through a standard wash cycle and be returned to service quickly, which is practical during back-to-back sittings or high-turnover events.
- Supplied in a pack of 12, making it straightforward to equip a full buffet run or maintain adequate rotation stock
- PVD coating retains its appearance through repeated dishwasher cycles
- 18/10 stainless steel construction provides durability suitable for regular commercial use
- Consistent copper finish supports coordinated buffet presentation
These forks are appropriate for hotels, function venues, restaurants running carvery service, and contract catering operations. They are not intended for high-heat cooking applications — they are cold meat serving utensils. If your operation runs multiple simultaneous buffet stations or requires a broader range of coordinated serving pieces, it is worth considering the full Amefa Buffet series to maintain a consistent look across the table.
If you are building out a buffet presentation scheme and would like guidance on quantities or coordinating pieces, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.
£298.00(£357.60 inc VAT)
These serving tongs from Amefa's buffet range are made from 18/10 stainless steel with a copper finish applied via PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating. PVD is a vacuum-based process that bonds a hardwearing colour layer to the steel surface, giving the tongs the warm appearance of copper without the tarnishing and patination that real copper develops over time. The finish holds consistently through regular dishwasher cleaning, which matters in any operation running multiple covers or events back to back.
Supplied in a pack of 12, the quantity is practical rather than arbitrary. Buffet and self-service counters often need more serving utensils than operators initially anticipate — having enough to cover several stations simultaneously, with spares in rotation through the wash, keeps service moving without hygiene compromises. A single pack can comfortably equip a hotel breakfast counter or a medium-sized wedding buffet without needing to supplement with mismatched pieces.
For day-to-day use, the key advantages are straightforward:
- PVD coating maintains a consistent copper appearance through repeated dishwasher cycles
- 18/10 stainless steel construction withstands regular commercial use and washing
- Pack of 12 supports multi-station buffet layouts without frequent restocking
- Dishwasher safe, simplifying end-of-service turnaround
These tongs suit operations where front-of-house presentation is part of the brief — hotel restaurants, event and wedding venues, and catering companies running themed or formal buffet displays. For purely back-of-house or high-turnover operations where appearance is secondary, a plain stainless alternative may represent better value. Amefa produces coordinating buffet pieces in the same copper PVD finish, so it is worth considering the full station before ordering individual items.
If you're putting together a coordinated buffet set or working out quantities across multiple stations, the team is happy to talk it through.
£1.98(£2.38 inc VAT)
The APS Hong Kong Oriental Melamine Spoon is a compact, single-serve spoon designed for buffet presentation, canapé service, and event catering. Made from melamine, it offers a clean white finish that suits both casual and more formal food presentation without the fragility of porcelain.
In practical service use, these spoons work well for portioned amuse-bouches, individual tasting portions, or self-serve buffet lines where guests expect a neat, consistent presentation. The compact size keeps portions controlled and the white finish shows food colours clearly, which matters when presentation is part of the experience.
- Dishwasher safe — suitable for repeated commercial wash cycles
- Melamine construction withstands the knocks of busy buffet and event service
- White finish suits a wide range of food presentation styles
- Compact form keeps individual portions neat and consistent
- Lightweight enough to handle in volume without adding service strain
Being melamine rather than ceramic, these spoons are more resistant to chipping and cracking during handling and washing, which is a practical advantage when running high-turnover events where breakage costs add up. They are not suitable for use in microwave ovens or for serving very hot liquids directly from heat.
These spoons are well suited to event caterers, hotel banqueting teams, and hospitality venues running regular buffet or canapé service. For operations requiring larger serving spoons or ladles for main buffet lines, other formats within the buffet utensils range may be more appropriate.
If you are putting together a full buffet or canapé setup and want to make sure you have the right mix of pieces, the team is happy to help you work through the quantities and formats that make sense for your service style.
£125.00(£150.00 inc VAT)
These large salad forks are part of Amefa's Buffet serving utensil range, designed for use at buffet counters, carvery stations, and self-service displays. The copper appearance is achieved through a PVD (physical vapour deposition) process applied over 18/10 stainless steel, producing a consistent warm tone that does not patinate or tarnish the way genuine copper would in a service environment.
For operators running a buffet line, visual consistency across serving pieces matters as much as durability. The PVD coating holds its colour reliably through repeated dishwasher cycles, which is a practical requirement when utensils are turning around several times per service. The 18/10 stainless steel base provides the rigidity and corrosion resistance expected of professional-grade serving ware.
- Copper PVD coating retains colour without patination or tarnishing over time
- 18/10 stainless steel construction resists corrosion under regular commercial use
- Dishwasher safe and suitable for high-frequency warewashing cycles
- Large salad fork format well suited to buffet and self-service stations
- Pack of 12 supports consistent presentation across multiple service points
One practical consideration: PVD-coated pieces should be kept away from abrasive cleaning pads and harsh abrasive detergents, which can wear the coating over time. Standard commercial dishwasher detergents present no issue for routine use. If you are building out a full buffet setting, Amefa's Buffet range includes complementary serving pieces in the same copper finish, making it straightforward to achieve a uniform front-of-house look.
These forks are well suited to hotels, event caterers, carvery restaurants, and hospitality venues where front-of-house presentation sits alongside day-to-day practicality. If you are working out quantities or selecting pieces across a full service line, we are glad to help you think it through.
£79.45(£95.34 inc VAT)
These small salad forks are part of Amefa's Buffet serving range, designed to provide a consistent, presentable utensil option for buffet and self-service catering. Each fork is made from 18/10 stainless steel and finished with a PVD copper coating that gives a genuine copper appearance without the patination that bare copper develops over time. The result is a consistent finish that holds its look through regular service use.
PVD-coated cutlery of this type is commonly used in hotel dining, event catering, and hospitality venues where presentation matters but practical durability is equally important. The copper finish adds warmth to a buffet display without requiring the careful handling that real copper demands. Being dishwasher safe, these forks can be turned around efficiently between sittings without specialist care or hand-polishing.
- PVD copper finish retains consistent appearance without patinating over time
- 18/10 stainless steel construction offers reliable durability under regular use
- Dishwasher safe — straightforward to clean and turn around between service periods
- Supplied in packs of 12, practical for buffet line stocking and replenishment
- Well suited to hotel, event, and hospitality buffet setups requiring a decorative finish
It is worth considering the volume of covers you serve and how frequently utensils are replenished on the buffet line when deciding how many packs to order. For larger operations running extended service periods, holding additional stock is sensible practice.
If you are putting together a full buffet serving set or matching across multiple utensil types, the team is happy to help you plan quantities and confirm whether other pieces in the Amefa Buffet range would suit your setup.
£15.49(£18.59 inc VAT)
This is a 12-inch soup ladle from Amefa's premium buffet utensil range, constructed from 18/10 stainless steel with a polished head and neck and a satin-finish handle. It is designed for use at soup stations, buffet counters, and self-service displays in hotels, restaurants, and event catering environments.
In a buffet setting, presentation matters as much as function. The polished finish holds up well against the scrutiny of a well-dressed service counter, and the satin handle resists fingerprinting during busy service periods — a practical detail that reduces how often front-of-house staff need to wipe down utensils mid-service. The 18/10 steel grade provides good resistance to corrosion and discolouration over repeated wash cycles.
- Polished head and neck for a clean, professional presentation at the counter
- Satin-finish handle reduces visible fingermarks during service
- 18/10 stainless steel construction withstands regular commercial dishwashing
- Suitable for soup, sauces, and broths at self-service stations
There are no specialist installation requirements. These ladles pass through standard commercial dishwashers without issue, though as with all polished utensils, avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners will preserve the finish over time.
Well suited to hotels, restaurants, and contract caterers running buffet or self-service soup stations where presentation standards are expected. For very high-volume continuous service or where a heavier-gauge utensil is preferred, it is worth reviewing the wider range. If you are equipping a full buffet counter and want guidance on matching ladles and serving spoons across the display, the team is happy to help.
£114.00(£136.80 inc VAT)
These gravy ladles from Amefa's Buffet range are straightforward serving utensils designed for carvery counters, hot buffet displays, and self-service stations. The black PVD coating gives them a consistent, purposeful appearance that works well in front-of-house settings where presentation sits alongside practicality. They are supplied in a pack of twelve, making them a sensible choice for operators setting up or refreshing a buffet line in one go.
Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel with a black PVD finish applied over the top, these ladles are built to handle the repetitive use that comes with busy service periods. PVD coating is more resilient than a standard paint or powder coat, though it is worth noting that abrasive cleaning methods can gradually wear the finish over time. For routine cleaning they are dishwasher safe, which keeps turnaround straightforward during and between services.
Practical reasons operators commonly choose these include:
- Consistent black finish suits contemporary buffet and carvery presentations
- 18/10 stainless steel construction resists corrosion under regular use
- Dishwasher safe for simple cleaning during busy service periods
- Pack of 12 provides sufficient cover for a full buffet line
- PVD coating more resilient than standard decorative finishes
These ladles are well suited to hotels, pub carveries, contract catering operations, and venues running self-service buffets where both presentation and practicality matter. For operators who prefer a polished stainless finish, or who need a different bowl size, there are alternative options worth considering.
If you'd like to talk through what works best for your service setup, the team is always happy to help.
£105.00(£126.00 inc VAT)
These soup ladles from Amefa's Buffet range are a practical serving utensil for buffet counters, self-service stations, and front-of-house soup service. Made from 18/10 stainless steel and finished with a velvet PVD coating, they offer a clean, consistent appearance that holds up well in display settings where presentation matters.
The velvet PVD finish does two jobs: it gives the ladle a soft, contemporary look that sits comfortably in smarter dining environments, and it reduces the visibility of fingerprints and surface marks during service — a genuine advantage when utensils are handled repeatedly by guests throughout a buffet sitting. The 18/10 stainless construction provides the corrosion resistance and durability expected of commercial-grade serving ware, and the ladles are well suited to regular warewasher use without the finish degrading quickly under normal conditions.
The long handle allows safe reach into deeper pots and chafing dishes without operators or guests bringing their hands close to hot surfaces, and the wide bowl supports consistent portioning. Being supplied as a six-pack makes them a sensible choice for busy buffet lines where having spares in rotation is practical during service.
They form part of Amefa's wider Buffet range, so operators building or refreshing a buffet service setup can match ladles with tongs, spoons, and other serving pieces for a uniform look across the counter.
If you're putting together a new buffet station or want to check these fit your existing service setup, feel free to get in touch — we're happy to help you get the specification right.
£56.61(£67.93 inc VAT)
These salad serving forks from Amefa's Buffet range are a practical addition to any buffet or self-service setup. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel and finished with a velvet PVD coating, they are designed to hold up well through repeated use without marking or tarnishing in the way uncoated utensils can. The velvet finish reduces the visibility of fingerprints during service, which helps maintain a clean, presentable appearance on a live buffet counter without constant polishing between covers.
The larger format is well suited to serving salads, pasta dishes, and cold sides where a standard-sized fork would be impractical. The handle profile provides a reasonable grip during busy service periods, and the overall build is consistent with what you would expect from a commercial-grade serving utensil intended for regular use rather than occasional front-of-house display.
- Velvet PVD coating reduces visible fingerprints during live service
- 18/10 stainless steel construction resists corrosion with regular washing
- Large fork format suits salads, pasta, and cold buffet dishes
- Part of a coordinated range for a consistent buffet presentation
- Supplied in a pack of 6, practical for setting multiple stations
Being part of Amefa's wider Buffet collection, these forks can be paired with other pieces in the range — spoons, tongs, and ladles — to keep the table presentation uniform, which matters in hotel dining rooms, conference catering, and events where the service aesthetic is as important as the food itself.
If you are equipping multiple buffet stations or need to discuss quantities and matching pieces across the range, the team is happy to help you put together the right selection.

These slotted serving spoons from Amefa's Buffet range are a practical choice for operators looking to maintain a consistent, presentable service setup. Supplied in a pack of six, they are made from 18/10 stainless steel and finished with a velvet PVD coating — a process that gives the surface a matte, refined appearance while offering meaningful resistance to fingerprint marks and everyday surface wear.
The slotted bowl allows liquid to drain away during service, which makes these spoons well suited to dishes where excess brine, dressing, or cooking liquor would otherwise transfer to the plate. Vegetables, pulses, marinated salads, and similar buffet staples are all handled cleanly without the need for a separate draining step.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:
- Velvet PVD finish resists fingerprints, keeping presentation tidy throughout service
- Slotted bowl drains excess liquid cleanly at the point of service
- 18/10 stainless steel construction holds up well to regular commercial use
- Supplied as a pack of six, reducing the risk of running short during busy periods
- Part of a coordinated Buffet range, supporting a uniform look across the service counter
These spoons are best suited to buffet counters, carvery operations, and self-service settings where presentation matters and multiple units are needed across the line. They are a sensible fit for hotels, event caterers, pub carveries, and staff restaurants. For operations with very high turnover or an all-day buffet format, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity better suits your replacement cycle.
If you are building out a full buffet service setup and want to ensure the pieces you choose work well together, the team is happy to help you put the right selection together.

These multi-purpose serving tongs from Amefa's Buffet range are a practical choice for operations that need reliable, presentable serving utensils across buffet counters, carvery stations, or self-service setups. Supplied as a pack of six, they are constructed from 18/10 stainless steel and finished with a velvet PVD coating that gives the surface a muted, refined appearance while resisting fingerprints and everyday surface marks.
In service, the velvet finish holds up well to repeated handling and keeps the tongs looking presentable throughout a busy sitting — a useful consideration in front-of-house or semi-attended buffet environments where appearance matters as much as function. The tongs are suited to general serving duties including salads, cold cuts, breads, and similar buffet staples.
A few practical points worth noting:
- PVD coating resists fingerprint marks, reducing the need for constant wiping during service
- 18/10 stainless steel construction supports regular dishwasher cycling
- Pack of six provides enough cover for a multi-station buffet setup or to allow rotation during service
- Part of the wider Amefa Buffet range, making it straightforward to maintain a consistent look across serving pieces
These tongs are well suited to hotels, event caterers, restaurants running buffet service, and hospitality venues where front-of-house presentation is a consideration. For very high-volume or heavy-duty applications, it is worth considering whether a more substantial serving utensil would be more appropriate for the task.
If you are putting together a full buffet serving set or want to check compatibility with other pieces in the Amefa range, the team is happy to help.
£66.54(£79.85 inc VAT)
These solid serving spoons are part of Amefa's Buffet range and carry a velvet PVD coating over an 18/10 stainless steel body. The coating gives each spoon a matte, fingerprint-resistant finish that holds its appearance through repeated handling during service — a practical consideration when utensils are in constant use on a buffet counter or carvery station.
In a busy service environment, presentation matters as much as function. The velvet finish helps the spoons maintain a clean, consistent look across the pass without constant polishing, which saves time during set-up and between sittings. The bowl size is suited to general serving tasks — vegetables, side dishes, salads, and similar — and the handle length gives enough reach to work comfortably from a chafing dish or serving tray.
- Fingerprint-resistant velvet PVD coating keeps utensils looking presentable throughout service
- 18/10 stainless steel construction holds up well to repeated dishwasher cycles
- Coordinated finish works across the wider Buffet range for a consistent front-of-house look
- Generous bowl suitable for a range of buffet and carvery serving tasks
- Supplied in a pack of six, practical for stocking multiple stations
These spoons are well suited to hotels, event caterers, staff restaurants, and any operation running a self-service or attended buffet format. They are not designed for high-heat applications such as direct use in cooking vessels. If your service runs multiple simultaneous stations or very high covers, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity meets your throughput needs.
If you are building out a full buffet service setup and want to make sure everything works together practically, the team is happy to help you think it through.

How to choose buffet utensils
Start with what you are serving. Tongs suit items you pick up, slotted spoons and spatulas let liquid drain away, and ladles suit soups and gravies. Salad spoons and forks come in large and small sizes, so you can match the utensil to the dish.
Next, pick a finish. The Amefa buffet range is available in black PVD or copper PVD, and many titles are 18/10 stainless steel. Choose one finish across a buffet line so it looks consistent. Melamine spoons from APS are a different look again, and suit oriental style dishes.
Check the pack size on each product page. Packs of 12 suit a busy venue or several serving stations. Please check the product page for lengths and full specification before you order.
