£2.01(£2.41 inc VAT)
These Fiesta wooden dessert spoons are made from betula wood — a smooth-grained, renewable material that gives the spoon a clean finish and enough rigidity to handle both hot and cold desserts without flexing. They are fully compostable and produced to meet the demand from food service operators looking to move away from single-use plastic cutlery.
In day-to-day service they perform well across a wide range of dessert applications — from ice cream and mousse to hot sponge puddings and fruit. The wood holds its shape and does not become soft or pliable on contact with warm food in the way that some lightweight alternatives can. The surface is smooth enough to be comfortable in the hand without splintering, which matters when you are presenting them to paying guests.
The practical case for switching from plastic is straightforward:
- Compostable at end of use, reducing landfill contribution
- Meets increasing customer and regulatory expectation around single-use plastics
- Natural wood finish suits most café, restaurant and event presentation styles
- Supplied in a pack of 100, practical for stockroom management
- No pre-soaking or preparation required — ready to use from the pack
These spoons are well suited to cafés, dessert bars, event caterers, and any operation running a dessert course without a full washable cutlery setup. They are also commonly used at pop-up events or festival catering where the absence of warewashing is a practical constraint rather than a choice. For very high-volume operations running multiple sittings, it is worth calculating consumption rates against pack size to manage stock efficiently.
If you are working through a broader switch to compostable disposables and want to make sure everything works together, we are happy to talk through what your service actually needs.
£25.88(£31.06 inc VAT)
The Amefa Slim table knife is a lightweight stainless steel cutlery piece designed as a direct, reusable alternative to single-use plastic or wooden cutlery. Made from 18/0 stainless steel with a tumble finish, it is supplied in packs of 240, making it practical for food service operations that need reliable stock levels across a busy service.
In practice, the Slim range sits comfortably in fast-casual dining, canteens, event catering, and any setting where operators previously relied on disposable plastic cutlery. The lightweight construction makes it easy to handle at pace during service, while the stainless steel construction means it can go through a commercial dishwasher repeatedly without degrading — unlike plastic or wood alternatives that are single use by nature.
From an operational standpoint, switching to a reusable stainless steel option like this offers a number of practical advantages:
- Eliminates ongoing spend on disposable plastic cutlery
- Meets current UK legislation restricting single-use plastic cutlery in food service
- Dishwasher safe for efficient turnaround during service
- Consistent appearance across the table throughout the meal period
- 100% recyclable product and packaging at end of life
There are a few practical points worth considering. At 10g per piece, the Slim knife is noticeably lighter than traditional stainless steel cutlery, which suits certain service environments but may not align with the expectations of a more formal dining setting. For establishments looking for a heavier gauge or more traditional weight and feel, alternative cutlery ranges are available.
This product is well suited to canteens, casual dining operations, food courts, event caterers, and similar venues transitioning away from single-use disposables. If you are unsure whether this range is the right fit for your service style or cover volume, feel free to get in touch with the team.
£4.75(£5.70 inc VAT)
These Olympia chopsticks are a straightforward reusable option for restaurants, noodle bars, sushi venues, and any operation serving Asian-style cuisine. Made from melamine, they offer a practical alternative to disposable wooden or bamboo chopsticks — suitable for repeated use and regular warewashing cycles.
Melamine is a well-established material in commercial foodservice for good reason. It is resistant to chipping, holds up well in busy clearing and washing routines, and is considerably lighter than ceramic or metal alternatives. For front-of-house teams handling high covers, that lightweight construction makes a practical difference over a long service.
- Reusable construction reduces ongoing consumable costs versus disposable chopsticks
- Lightweight melamine suits fast-paced table clearing and resetting
- Consistent sizing supports uniform place settings across the dining room
- Supplied in packs of 10, making stock management straightforward
- Compatible with standard commercial warewashing
As with any reusable cutlery, it is worth checking your warewasher settings and detergent concentrations are appropriate for melamine — prolonged exposure to very high temperatures or harsh chemicals can affect the surface finish over time. Stock levels should account for breakage rates and service volume; for high-turnover operations, holding adequate cover is sensible practice.
These chopsticks are well suited to casual dining restaurants, pan-Asian venues, and takeaway operations looking to move away from single-use alternatives. They represent a cost-effective entry point for operators setting up a new cover or supplementing existing cutlery stocks.
If you are unsure how many packs to order for your covers, or whether this material is appropriate for your warewashing setup, we are happy to help you work it out.
£25.41(£30.49 inc VAT)
Each pack in this case of 250 contains a wooden fork, knife, spoon and paper napkin, individually wrapped together as a single meal set. The cutlery is made from wood and is fully compostable, making it a plastic-free alternative to conventional disposable cutlery for operators looking to reduce single-use plastic across their service.
In a busy takeaway or food-to-go environment, individually wrapped meal packs are a practical choice. They keep cutlery hygienic during storage and handling, reduce the risk of contamination at the point of service, and hand well to customers without the need to separate individual pieces. The format also works well for pre-packed meal deals, delivery orders, and event catering where speed at the counter matters.
- Plastic-free and compostable — supports compliance with single-use plastic reduction targets
- Individually wrapped sets reduce handling and cross-contamination risk
- All-in-one pack simplifies service and reduces staff handling time
- Bulk case of 250 reduces reorder frequency for moderate-volume sites
- Suitable for in-house composting or commercial food waste streams where facilities allow
It is worth checking your local waste collection arrangements before committing to compostable disposables at volume — not all kerbside or commercial waste services accept compostable materials, and without the right waste stream in place the composting benefit may not be fully realised. For very high-volume operations, larger case quantities may offer better cost efficiency.
These packs are well suited to cafés, delis, market traders, event caterers, and takeaways operating under single-use plastic reduction policies or seeking a straightforward sustainable swap for their existing disposable cutlery. If you are unsure whether this format fits your service volume or waste setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£37.31(£44.77 inc VAT)
Each set in this pack contains a birch wood knife, fork and unbleached paper napkin, individually wrapped in a natural kraft paper sleeve with no plastic content. The timber is FSC-certified Grade A birch, giving the cutlery a clean, consistent finish that presents well across a range of food-to-go and casual dining formats.
The individual wrapping is the practical centrepiece of this product. Each set arrives hygienically sealed and stays that way through storage and distribution, which reduces contamination risk and removes the need for staff to handle loose cutlery during service. For operators who pre-pack meal deals, run outdoor events, or manage high-turnover takeaway counters, that hygiene assurance is a genuine operational advantage.
- Fully compostable — no plastic across the cutlery, napkin or sleeve
- Individually wrapped sets reduce handling and contamination risk at point of service
- FSC-certified birch wood holds up adequately for standard meal formats
- Unbleached kraft paper napkin included — no separate napkin stock needed
- Zero-sort disposal — entire set goes into compostable waste stream
It is worth noting that birch wood cutlery, while suitable for most ambient and warm foods, is not well suited to very wet dishes or meals that require extended cutting of dense proteins. For those applications, a heavier gauge wooden or compostable CPLA option may be more appropriate.
This pack of 250 works well for food festivals, event catering, grab-and-go counters, and any operation looking to remove single-use plastics from their front-of-house setup without adding to dishwashing workload. If you are unsure which disposable cutlery format fits your service style or volume, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£48.16(£57.79 inc VAT)
The Amefa Slim table fork is a lightweight stainless steel cutlery piece designed as a direct replacement for single-use plastic or wooden cutlery. Made from 18/0 stainless steel with a tumble finish, it is supplied in packs of 240, making it practical for high-turnover catering operations that need to hold adequate stock without constant reordering.
In day-to-day service, the Slim fork performs well in fast-paced environments where cutlery moves through the operation quickly — canteens, food courts, festival catering, and similar venues where volume matters and handling time between covers is limited. The lightweight construction makes it easy to lay up and handle in bulk, while the stainless steel material withstands commercial dishwashing cycles without the degradation you would expect from disposable alternatives.
From an operational standpoint, switching to a reusable stainless steel fork of this type offers several practical advantages:
- Eliminates ongoing spend on single-use plastic or wooden cutlery
- Suitable for commercial dishwasher use and repeated service cycles
- 100% recyclable product and packaging
- Consistent appearance across covers without the variation of disposable cutlery
- Helps operators meet plastic reduction obligations without compromising the dining experience
There are no installation or utility requirements to consider here. The main practical consideration is storage — a pack of 240 pieces requires adequate dry storage space, and operators running high-volume services should assess how many packs are needed to maintain a full rotation through washing and service. The fork measures 188mm in length, which positions it as a standard table fork suitable for most cover settings.
This product is well suited to contract caterers, workplace canteens, event caterers, and any operation looking to move away from disposable cutlery in a cost-effective, practical way. It is not intended as a premium tableware piece — if the dining experience calls for a heavier or more decorative cutlery range, a different product from the Amefa catalogue may be more appropriate.
If you are working out how many packs you need to support your service volume, or whether this range fits your operation, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you work through it.
£30.43(£36.52 inc VAT)
Each pack contains 250 individually kraft-wrapped sets, with every set comprising a wooden fork, knife, spoon and a paper napkin. The packaging is plastic-free throughout — the outer wrap is natural kraft paper and the cutlery itself is birch wood, making the entire set compostable at end of use.
In a food-to-go or takeaway environment, individual wrapping matters more than it might first appear. Loose cutlery stored in dispensers or bulk containers is exposed to handling contamination, particularly during busy service periods. Individually sealed sets remove that risk and allow customers to open their own cutlery at point of use, which is an increasingly common hygiene expectation in outdoor dining, market stalls, festivals and delivery operations.
From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages are straightforward:
- No washing-up — cutlery is disposed of after use, saving staff time during and after service
- Easy to portion into delivery bags, takeaway boxes or grab-and-go displays
- Plastic-free construction supports operators subject to single-use plastics regulations
- Consistent presentation across every cover without additional preparation
There are a few practical considerations worth noting. Wooden cutlery performs well with most foods but is not suited to very hot liquids or prolonged contact with wet dishes — it is intended for single use only. For high-volume operations running multiple services daily, it is worth calculating pack consumption carefully to avoid running short mid-service.
These sets are well suited to caterers, food trucks, event hospitality, pop-up restaurants and any operation where disposable, plastic-free service is a requirement. For lower-volume needs, smaller pack quantities may be a more practical stock option.
If you are unsure which pack size or cutlery format fits your service volume best, the team is happy to help you work it out.
£3.03(£3.64 inc VAT)
These are single-use paper ice cream spoons from Fiesta, supplied in packs of 100 and sized at 95mm — a practical length for standard ice cream cups, tubs, and dessert pots. Made from paper rather than wood or plastic, they offer a neutral taste profile and are certified to EN13432 for commercial composting after use, making them a straightforward choice for operators looking to move away from single-use plastics without switching to wooden alternatives.
In a busy service environment — whether that's a café counter, a dessert station, or a hospitality buffet — the dispenser box format makes a real practical difference. The perforated lid tears away cleanly, and the box is designed so spoons present handle-first, reducing unnecessary contact with the eating end during service. That small detail matters when throughput is high and staff are working quickly.
- Paper construction avoids the taste issues commonly associated with wooden disposable cutlery
- EN13432 certified — accepted for commercial composting streams
- Dispenser box presents spoons handle-first for improved hygiene at point of service
- Compact pack size suits smaller operations or those trialling compostable alternatives
- No plastic content — supports compliance with single-use plastics reduction commitments
There are no installation requirements here, but it is worth considering storage and waste stream logistics before committing to compostable disposables at volume. EN13432-certified items require access to a commercial composting facility to realise their environmental benefit — they will not break down meaningfully in general landfill. For high-volume sites serving large numbers of dessert covers daily, bulk pack formats may be worth exploring.
These spoons are well suited to cafés, ice cream parlours, dessert counters, and catering operations where a compostable, plastic-free option is preferred and portion volumes are moderate. If you're unsure whether compostable disposables are the right fit for your waste disposal setup, our team is happy to talk it through.
£2.58(£3.10 inc VAT)
These paper knives from Fiesta are a single-use, compostable alternative to plastic disposable cutlery. Made from paper, they carry EN13432 certification for industrial and commercial composting, making them a practical choice for operators who need to demonstrate responsible waste management without switching to reusable cutlery.
In day-to-day use, they perform better than their material might suggest. The construction is firm enough to handle typical counter service and grab-and-go applications without flexing excessively — a common concern with paper-based cutlery. They also avoid the taste transfer that some customers associate with wooden disposables, which can be a quiet but persistent source of complaints at food service counters.
- EN13432 certified for commercial composting after use
- Dispenser box with perforated tear-off lid for clean, hygienic counter placement
- Handle-first dispensing reduces contact with the eating surface
- Suitable for customers who dislike the taste or texture of wooden cutlery
- Supplied in packs of 100 for straightforward stock management
The dispenser box is designed to sit on a counter or serving station. The perforated lid tears away cleanly, and knives dispense handle-first, which is a minor but worthwhile hygiene consideration in self-service or high-footfall environments. For sites going through significant volumes, storage requirements are straightforward given the compact pack format.
These knives suit cafés, event caterers, festival traders, takeaways, and any operation looking to move away from single-use plastic without introducing reusable cutlery to the workflow. They are not a replacement for stainless in a full sit-down service environment, but for counter or outdoor service they are a reasonable, compliant option.
If you are reviewing your wider disposables range or have questions about compostable versus biodegradable certifications for your waste contractor, the team is happy to help clarify what suits your setup.
£1.83(£2.20 inc VAT)
These Fiesta wooden forks are made from betula wood — a renewable, fast-growing hardwood — and are fully compostable at the end of use. They are a practical replacement for single-use plastic forks in catering operations where sustainability commitments, local authority requirements, or customer expectations have made plastic disposables unsuitable.
In service, the sanded finish and natural density of betula wood gives these forks reasonable rigidity for a disposable item. They hold up well with standard cold and ambient food — salads, pastries, light desserts, and finger-food accompaniments. They are not designed for heavy-duty cutting or hot, wet dishes where extended contact with moisture could soften the material.
For operators making the move away from plastic disposables, the practical benefits include:
- Fully compostable — suitable for commercial composting waste streams
- Made from renewable betula wood with a smooth, sanded finish
- Adequate rigidity for ambient and cold food service
- Presentable natural appearance suited to informal or outdoor dining
- Supplied in packs of 100, straightforward to portion and stock
There are no special storage requirements beyond keeping the stock dry. As with all wooden disposables, exposure to moisture before use will affect performance, so storage in a dry environment is advisable.
These forks are well suited to cafés, delis, food-to-go operations, outdoor events, and hospitality venues looking to reduce plastic waste in their front-of-house disposables. For operations with higher throughput or a need for spoons, knives, or other compostable formats, the wider Fiesta Green range covers additional formats and pack sizes.
If you are reviewing your full disposables range or need guidance on compostable options across different service formats, the team are happy to help you work through what makes sense operationally.
£2.01(£2.41 inc VAT)
These Fiesta disposable wooden knives are made from betula wood and shaped to a practical knife profile suitable for everyday catering use. They are part of Fiesta's compostable cutlery range, designed as a functional, plastic-free alternative for operators who need single-use cutlery without generating standard plastic waste.
In practice, betula wood holds up well for most food service applications — slicing through pastry, soft meats, and lighter dishes without flexing or splintering. They are not intended for tough cutting tasks, but for the kind of eating occasions typical of street food, canteen service, or outdoor events, they perform reliably. The natural wood surface also presents reasonably well on a serve, which suits operators whose presentation matters.
Practical advantages for operators include:
- Compostable construction — suitable for commercial composting waste streams
- Plastic-free, supporting compliance with single-use plastics legislation
- Sturdy enough for everyday catering use without flexing mid-service
- Supplied in packs of 100, suitable for stock management at most venues
- Natural appearance that sits well with rustic or artisan food concepts
There are a few practical points worth considering. Wooden cutlery does absorb moisture over time, so storage in dry conditions is important — damp stock can affect rigidity. For very high-volume operations, the pack size may require regular replenishment, and bulk formats may be worth exploring. These knives are compostable rather than home biodegradable in most cases, so operators should confirm their waste contractor accepts compostable food serviceware.
These knives are well suited to food festivals, outdoor catering, canteens, and any operation looking to move away from single-use plastic cutlery. If you are reviewing your full disposable cutlery range or need guidance on volumes and formats, we are happy to help you think it through.
£4.38(£5.26 inc VAT)
These are individually wrapped, single-use bamboo chopsticks supplied in packs of 100. Made from natural bamboo, they are biodegradable and compostable, making them a practical choice for operators looking to reduce reliance on plastic disposables without a significant cost increase.
In service, bamboo performs reliably for this application. It is firm enough to handle most Asian dishes without flexing or snapping under normal use, and it does not absorb flavours or moisture readily during a meal sitting. The individual wrapping keeps each pair hygienic until the moment of use, which matters in both dine-in and takeaway contexts.
From an operational standpoint, these chopsticks suit a straightforward need well:
- Individually wrapped for hygiene at point of service
- Compostable and biodegradable — supports waste reduction commitments
- Bamboo construction resists flexing during normal use
- No flavour absorption, suitable alongside multi-dish service
- Ready to use straight from packaging — no preparation required
There are no installation or storage considerations of note. They are lightweight and compact enough to store in standard dry goods areas. Operators running high covers should check pack quantities against anticipated demand, as bamboo chopsticks are a consumable and stock levels need managing accordingly.
These are well suited to Asian restaurants, pan-Asian street food operations, sushi venues, and takeaway businesses. They are also commonly used at events where disposable tableware is required. For businesses with very high daily covers, it is worth reviewing whether a larger pack format would reduce handling time and cost per unit.
If you are unsure which format best fits your service style or waste disposal setup, we are happy to help you think it through.
£13.90(£16.68 inc VAT)
This 24-piece set from Olympia brings together crockery, cutlery and glassware in a single package aimed at students moving into halls of residence or shared housing. Rather than sourcing each item separately, the set covers the basic table essentials needed from day one: plates, bowls, mugs, cutlery and tumblers.
The cutlery is drawn from Olympia's Kelso range, made from stainless steel and built to handle daily use without bending or corroding. The crockery comes from the Athena Hotelware range, which uses a super vitrified glaze and rolled edges — a construction approach commonly used in budget hotel and catering environments precisely because it resists chipping better than standard domestic ceramics. Two toughened glass tumblers complete the set.
For a student or shared household context, the practical advantages are straightforward:
- Crockery construction resists chipping through repeated stacking and dishwasher cycles
- Stainless steel cutlery holds up to heavy everyday use without distorting
- Toughened glass tumblers are more robust than standard drinking glasses
- A complete set avoids the cost and effort of buying pieces individually
- Olympia components are replaceable individually if items are lost or broken over time
It is worth noting that this is a starter set rather than a professional catering product. The quantities are suited to one or two people, and the set is not intended for volume service. If you are equipping a student common room, shared kitchen facility or similar communal space requiring larger quantities, it would be worth discussing your requirements before ordering multiples of this set — there may be more practical ways to approach that.
If you are unsure whether this set covers what you need or want to discuss larger quantities, feel free to get in touch with the team.
£36.80(£44.16 inc VAT)
The Amefa Slim cake fork is a lightweight stainless steel pastry fork designed as a practical, reusable alternative to single-use plastic or wooden cutlery. Made from 18/0 stainless steel with a tumble finish, it is supplied in bulk packs of 480, making it well suited to cafés, bakeries, patisseries, and hospitality venues that serve high volumes of cake, pastry, or dessert.
In day-to-day service, the Slim fork performs reliably as a basic pastry and dessert utensil. Its lightweight construction keeps handling comfortable for guests, and the stainless steel finish gives a noticeably more considered appearance than plastic or wooden alternatives, which matters in environments where presentation is part of the offer.
- Reusable and fully recyclable, including the carton packaging
- Lightweight 18/0 stainless steel construction with tumble finish
- Practical for high-volume dessert and pastry service
- Helps operators move away from single-use plastic cutlery
- Bulk pack quantity reduces restocking frequency
It is worth noting that 18/0 stainless steel contains no nickel, which makes it less corrosion-resistant than 18/10 grades over time. For venues running a high-frequency commercial dishwasher, checking long-term durability against your wash cycle chemistry is sensible. The Slim fork is a lighter-gauge piece — appropriate for its intended use as a pastry fork, but not a replacement for a full dinner fork where a heavier-gauge cutlery range would be more suitable.
This fork is best suited to cafés, coffee shops, patisseries, hotel lounges, and event caterers serving cake or dessert as a core part of their menu. Venues needing a full cutlery range across multiple covers may want to consider a heavier-duty pattern for everyday dining use.
If you are unsure whether the Slim fork is the right fit for your service style or volume, the team is happy to talk through what would work best for your operation.
£4.75(£5.70 inc VAT)
These chopsticks are part of Olympia's Kristallon Fusion range — a collection designed to give commercial tableware a consistent, contemporary look. Made from melamine, they are a practical reusable option for restaurants, noodle bars, and Asian cuisine operations serving Chinese, Japanese, or Korean dishes.
Melamine is a well-established material for commercial tableware. It handles repeated use and the rough-and-tumble of busy service far better than disposables, and it goes through a commercial dishwasher without issue. The black colourway gives a clean, neutral finish that sits comfortably alongside the wider Fusion crockery range, which can be useful if you are building a coordinated table setting.
- Reusable melamine construction — more durable than disposable alternatives
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
- Contemporary black finish suits a range of table settings
- Coordinates with Olympia Kristallon Fusion crockery
- Supplied in packs of 10 pairs — practical for stocking up
For lower-volume or occasional use, 10 pairs per pack will suit most operations. Higher-volume sites serving large covers may want to consider ordering in greater quantities to maintain adequate rotation through the wash cycle.
If you are putting together a full table setting around the Fusion range or have questions about quantities for your service, we are happy to help.
£2.80(£3.36 inc VAT)
These are single-use paper forks from Fiesta, supplied in a pack of 100 and designed as a practical alternative to both plastic and wooden disposable cutlery. Made from paper, they are EN13432 certified for commercial composting after use, which means they can be processed through a certified composting facility rather than going to landfill alongside conventional plastic cutlery.
In a catering environment, they hold up well enough for most light to medium food service applications — salads, cold desserts, light pastries, and similar items where a standard disposable fork would typically be used. Customers who find wooden cutlery unpleasant to use tend to accept paper cutlery more readily, which is a practical consideration for operators who have already moved away from plastic.
The pack comes in a dispenser box with a perforated tear-off lid. Forks are dispensed by the handle, which supports basic hygiene practice at self-service points or staffed counters. The box format is reasonably tidy for countertop or serving station placement without requiring additional presentation equipment.
- Plastic-free construction, suitable for operators reducing single-use plastic waste
- EN13432 certified — accepted by commercial composting schemes
- Dispenser box format keeps the serving point tidy and hygienic
- A practical option where customers have objected to wooden cutlery
These forks are best suited to cafés, delis, event catering, and similar operations serving lighter foods in a disposable cutlery context. They are not intended for hot, heavy, or wet dishes where structural performance would be a concern. For higher-volume sites, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format would be more practical operationally.
If you are unsure whether paper cutlery is the right fit for your service style or composting setup, the team is happy to talk it through.
£6.51(£7.81 inc VAT)
These are the classic two-pronged wooden chip forks that have been a fixture in fish and chip shops and casual food service for decades. Made from betula (birch) wood, each fork is a single-use, compostable utensil designed to replace plastic disposable cutlery in takeaway and eat-in settings.
In a busy takeaway or outdoor catering environment, having a reliable, ready-to-use cutlery solution matters. These forks are sturdy enough to handle hot chips, battered fish, and similar fried or grilled foods without flexing or splintering. The smooth finish means they are comfortable to use and unlikely to cause complaints from customers — something that cannot always be said of poorly finished wooden cutlery.
From an operational and environmental standpoint, the betula wood construction means the forks are fully compostable and will break down naturally, making them a straightforward swap for operators looking to move away from single-use plastic cutlery in line with current regulations and customer expectations. Practical advantages include:
- Compostable and biodegradable — no plastic waste stream
- Smooth, splinter-resistant finish for comfortable customer use
- Classic chip fork profile recognised and trusted by customers
- Bulk pack of 1000 reduces restocking frequency during busy service
- Pairs well with greaseproof wrapping and printed chip cones for a consistent presentation
These forks are well suited to fish and chip shops, burger vans, market stalls, festival caterers, and any operator serving finger food or casual dishes where lightweight disposable cutlery is appropriate. They are not intended for heavier meals where a full-size fork would normally be expected. If your operation serves a broader menu and you need compostable full-size cutlery alongside this format, it is worth reviewing your full disposables range to keep presentation consistent.
If you are unsure which disposable cutlery formats best suit your service style or sustainability requirements, the team is happy to talk it through.
£20.00(£24.00 inc VAT)
These are straightforward porcelain rice spoons from Olympia's Whiteware range — a practical, no-fuss choice for operations that serve rice dishes, Asian-style mains, or need a reliable spoon for soups and broths. Made from porcelain and finished in a clean, plain white, they sit comfortably within most tableware schemes without drawing attention to themselves, which is often exactly what's needed in a busy service environment.
In day-to-day use, the rolled edges help resist chipping during handling, stacking, and washing — a meaningful detail when spoons are being cycled through a commercial dishwasher several times a day. They stack neatly, which makes storage and table or counter setup straightforward when covering multiple covers at speed.
Key practical points for service teams:
- Rolled edges improve chip resistance through regular washing cycles
- Stackable design keeps storage tidy and reduces setup time
- Clean white finish suits a wide range of tableware styles
- Supplied in a pack of 24, supporting consistent cover counts
- Porcelain construction holds up well under normal commercial use
These spoons are well suited to restaurants, takeaways, canteens, and hotel operations serving rice-based dishes as part of a regular menu. The pack size of 24 makes them practical for mid-sized operations, though higher-volume sites or those with larger cover counts may want to order multiple packs or consider a larger batch quantity.
If you're building out a tableware set or want to check consistency across your existing Whiteware pieces, the team are happy to help you work through what you need.
£48.16(£57.79 inc VAT)
The Amefa Slim table spoon is an 18/0 stainless steel spoon designed as a direct, recyclable replacement for single-use plastic and wooden cutlery. Produced with a tumble finish and a slim profile, it occupies a practical middle ground: more durable and presentable than disposable alternatives, yet lightweight enough to suit operators who want to reduce plastic waste without moving to heavier-gauge premium cutlery.
In day-to-day service, the Slim range performs reliably across casual dining, canteen, and grab-and-go environments. The lightweight construction means it handles comfortably for guests, and the tumble finish helps conceal minor surface marks that accumulate with repeated dishwasher cycles — a practical consideration in high-turnover settings where cutlery is processed frequently.
Key practical points for operators:
- 18/0 stainless steel construction — fully recyclable at end of life
- Tumble finish reduces visible wear in daily service
- Lightweight design suited to casual and fast-service settings
- 240-piece pack count supports bulk stocking for busy sites
- Compatible with standard commercial dishwasher cycles
It is worth noting that 18/0 stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance for most environments, but operators running very high-chloride glasswashers or using aggressive detergents may prefer an 18/10 grade for longer-term resilience. For sites where cutlery presentation is a higher priority — fine dining or formal covers — a heavier-gauge option from the Amefa range may be more appropriate.
The Slim spoon is well suited to cafés, staff canteens, casual restaurant groups, event caterers, and any site transitioning away from single-use plastic cutlery in response to legislative changes. The 240-piece pack is sized for sites that go through volume, though it is equally practical as a top-up stock purchase.
If you are unsure whether this grade and weight is right for your service style or cover count, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£41.71(£50.05 inc VAT)
The Amefa Slim teaspoon is a lightweight 18/0 stainless steel teaspoon designed as a practical, reusable alternative to disposable plastic cutlery. Finished with a tumble polish and produced to a 0.6mm gauge, it sits in the lighter end of the commercial cutlery range — a considered choice for operators who need a functional, presentable teaspoon without the bulk or cost of heavier-gauge flatware.
In busy café, canteen, or quick-service environments, the Slim range holds up well as an everyday working teaspoon. The tumble finish helps disguise minor surface wear that comes with repeated machine washing cycles, and the stainless steel construction means it won't absorb stains or odours the way plastic or wooden alternatives can. For venues running high covers, the 480-piece pack provides sufficient stock to cover service without constant replenishment runs.
Operationally, the Slim teaspoon offers a few practical advantages worth noting:
- Reusable and fully recyclable — supports compliance with single-use plastics legislation
- Stainless steel construction tolerates commercial dishwasher cycles reliably
- Tumble finish reduces the visibility of everyday service marks
- Lightweight design suits fast-casual and canteen-style service formats
- 480-piece pack quantity reduces restocking frequency in high-turnover operations
It is worth being straightforward about where this product sits: the 0.6mm gauge makes it a lighter-weight teaspoon, well suited to casual dining, staff canteens, cafés, and hospitality buffet settings. Operators running formal dining or looking for a heavier, more premium feel may want to consider a higher-gauge option from the wider Amefa range.
