Serving Spoons, Forks and Utensils

The Olympia Bead service spoon is a standard catering spoon finished in 18/0 stainless steel with a high-polish surface and a classic beaded border detail. Supplied in packs of 12, these spoons are suited to front-of-house table settings in restaurants, hotels, and catering operations where a consistent, presentable cutlery pattern is needed across covers.

18/0 stainless steel contains no nickel, which keeps the cost per piece lower than 18/10 equivalents. It is a practical choice for operations with high turnover or where cutlery losses are a regular consideration. The high-polish finish presents well on the table and holds up through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles, though 18/0 can be more susceptible to surface spotting over time in hard water areas without appropriate glasswasher rinse aid or water softening.

• Classic beaded border pattern suitable for formal and informal dining settings
• High-polish finish presents well on the table
• 18/0 stainless steel — cost-effective for high-turnover operations
• Supplied in packs of 12 for straightforward stock management
• Suitable for commercial dishwasher use

For operations running a full place setting, Olympia produce the Bead pattern across multiple pieces, which makes it straightforward to maintain a coordinated look across a table. If you are building out a full cutlery range or need guidance on quantities relative to your cover count, the team are happy to help you work through the numbers.

The Olympia Kelso service spoon is a straightforward, high-polish stainless steel serving piece from one of the more widely stocked cutlery ranges in UK catering. Made from 18/0 stainless steel and supplied in packs of twelve, it sits firmly in the practical, everyday end of the service cutlery market rather than the premium silverware category.

In a busy restaurant or catering environment, service spoons take considerable punishment — repeated washing cycles, high-temperature dishwasher runs, and constant handling. The Kelso's 18/0 composition is resistant to everyday corrosion in typical commercial conditions, though it is worth noting that 18/0 steel contains no nickel, which means it is marginally less resistant to harsh chemical cleaners over time than 18/10 alternatives. For most catering operations running standard dishwasher detergents, this makes no practical difference in day-to-day use.

• High-polish finish suits buffet, restaurant, and function service
• Plain pattern works across formal and informal table settings
• Pack of 12 supports stock rotation without large upfront investment
• Compatible with standard commercial dishwasher cycles

The Kelso range is a sensible choice for venues that need reliable, presentable serving cutlery without committing to a premium price point — cafés, contract caterers, pub restaurants, and function venues commonly use it. For operations that prioritise longevity under very heavy chemical sanitisation or require a higher-specification finish, an 18/10 alternative may be worth considering.

If you are stocking cutlery across multiple sections or want to discuss the right quantity and specification for your service style, the team is happy to help you work it out.
