Cutlery Sets

The Olympia Jesmond Sample Set provides a practical way to assess the Jesmond pattern before committing to a full cutlery order. The set includes three pieces — a table knife, a dessert fork, and a dessert spoon — allowing you to handle the weight, finish, and proportions in your own setting before placing a bulk purchase.

Jesmond is a classically styled pattern featuring a shell motif on the handle. It sits comfortably in the mid-range of commercial table cutlery: formal enough for restaurant and hotel dining, without the cost premium of higher-specification patterns. The 18/0 stainless steel construction is standard across this price point — practical and dishwasher safe, though it is worth noting that 18/0 offers less corrosion resistance than 18/10 grades, so regular inspection and prompt drying after washing will help maintain appearance over time.

Sample sets like this are particularly useful when standardising across multiple covers or sites, where getting the feel and weight right before ordering is more cost-effective than returning a full set. Please be aware that sample sets are non-returnable, so they are intended as a selection aid rather than a trial-on-approval arrangement.

If you are unsure whether Jesmond is the right pattern for your setting, or would like guidance on grade, weight, or volume pricing, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Olympia Tivoli sample set allows operators to assess the pattern in hand before committing to a full cover count. It contains three pieces — a table knife, table fork, and dessert spoon — finished in a distinctive hammered-effect handle that gives the range its character. The construction is 18/10 stainless steel with a high-polish finish, making it a practical choice for front-of-house settings where appearance and durability both matter.

In terms of everyday service, 18/10 stainless steel holds up well under repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without dulling or staining. The hammered handle texture suits casual dining, bistro, and pub kitchen environments particularly well — anywhere the table setting is meant to feel considered rather than formal. It works equally well in hotel dining rooms looking for something with a degree of visual warmth.

• Dishwasher-safe construction reduces handling time during turnarounds
• Hammered-effect finish adds texture that complements rustic or relaxed dining styles
• High-polish surface remains presentable under repeated commercial use
• Three-piece sample allows assessment before ordering full covers

As a sample set, it is worth checking that the weight and balance of each piece meets your expectations before placing a larger order — personal preference varies, and what reads well in a photograph does not always translate to how it feels across a full service. If you are unsure how many covers to order or whether this pattern suits the overall table setting you have in mind, it is worth a conversation with the team before going further.

The Olympia Tivoli 48-piece cutlery set is a complete table setting solution comprising twelve table knives, twelve table forks, twelve dessert spoons, and twelve teaspoons. The pieces feature a hammered-effect handle paired with a high-polish finish — a combination that reads as considered and well-dressed on the table without requiring elaborate presentation effort from front-of-house staff.

Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel, this cutlery offers a practical balance of corrosion resistance and durability that holds up well in commercial use. The higher nickel content in 18/10 grade steel contributes to the brightness of the finish and helps it retain its appearance through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles — a meaningful consideration in any operation running multiple covers per service.

From an operational standpoint, the set suits establishments looking to introduce a styled cutlery line without a significant outlay. Relevant practical advantages include:

• Dishwasher safe, supporting efficient turnaround between covers
• 18/10 stainless steel resists corrosion and staining in daily commercial use
• Hammered-effect handles add visual detail without requiring specialist handling or storage
• A complete 48-piece set covers twelve covers across four cutlery types in a single purchase

It is worth noting that this set is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, cafés, and event catering operations running moderate cover volumes. For very high-turnover operations where cutlery loss and replacement frequency are significant factors, it is worth considering whether a heavier-gauge or more cost-effective pattern would be a better long-term fit for your stock management approach.

If you are building out your table setting across multiple patterns or need guidance on quantities relative to your cover count and service model, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Olympia Buckingham 48-piece cutlery set provides a complete table setting solution for operators looking to equip covers without a significant outlay. The set includes twelve table knives, twelve table forks, twelve dessert spoons and twelve teaspoons, all produced in 18/0 stainless steel with a high-polish finish and rounded handles — a clean, unfussy style that works across a broad range of dining environments.

18/0 stainless steel is a practical choice for casual dining, staff canteens, cafés and budget-conscious operators. It is hardwearing enough for day-to-day commercial use and holds up well in a commercial dishwasher, which matters when covers are moving quickly and turnaround between services is tight. The trade-off compared with 18/10 is modest — 18/0 carries less corrosion resistance over the long term, so operators running high-volume all-day services or using particularly aggressive warewashing chemicals may see a shorter working life from the pieces.

Key practical points worth noting:

• Full 48-piece set covers twelve place settings in a single purchase
• 18/0 stainless steel construction — cost-effective for casual and mid-market operations
• High-polish finish suits a range of table styles without looking out of place
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward front-of-house turnaround
• Rounded handles give a comfortable feel that works for extended dining occasions

This set is well suited to cafés, pub dining rooms, staff restaurants, event catering and smaller independents where practicality and value carry more weight than premium presentation. For sites where cutlery takes heavier daily punishment or where a finer table aesthetic is a priority, a higher-specification range in 18/10 may be worth considering.

If you are outfitting a new site or want to work out the right quantities for your covers, we are happy to talk it through.

The Olympia Mini sample set contains one knife, one fork, and one spoon from the Mini range, allowing operators to assess the pattern, finish, and scale before committing to a full order. The cutlery is produced in 18/0 stainless steel with a high-polish finish, keeping it practical to maintain and consistent in appearance across a busy service.

The smaller scale of the Mini range makes it a practical choice for a few specific applications. It works well as children's cutlery where standard sizes feel unwieldy, and it suits café and coffee shop covers where guests are eating cakes, pastries, or light snacks rather than full meals. The proportions also lend themselves to dessert service — particularly delicate desserts such as crème brûlée, panna cotta, or petit fours, where standard cutlery can feel oversized relative to the portion.

• Suitable for children's covers, café snack service, and dessert plates
• High-polish finish presents well front-of-house
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward turnaround between services
• Sample pack format lets you assess fit before placing a full order

Because this is a sample set, it is not intended for day-to-day bulk service. Operators stocking for a full dining room will need to follow up with full-quantity orders once they have confirmed the pattern is right for their operation. If you are unsure whether the Mini range suits your covers or whether a standard-sized pattern would serve you better, we are happy to talk it through.

The Olympia Cyprium Sample Set contains a table knife, fork, and spoon from the Cyprium range, allowing operators to assess the pattern in person before placing a full order. The cutlery is made from 18/0 stainless steel with a copper-toned finish applied using PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) technology, which bonds the colour to the surface rather than coating it conventionally. This gives the finish considerably more resistance to wear, chipping, and fading than standard electroplated alternatives.

In practice, the warm copper tone works well in settings where the table presentation is meant to feel relaxed and characterful rather than formal — casual dining rooms, gastropubs, bistros, and boutique hotels are common applications. It complements natural materials such as wood, slate, and copper or brass accents, and tends to suit environments where the aesthetic is deliberately earthy or artisan. It would feel less at home in a very contemporary or high-formal dining setting, where bright silver or black cutlery typically reads more appropriately.

The sample set is a practical step before committing to a full order. Copper-finish cutlery can read very differently under different lighting conditions and against different table linen, crockery, and surface colours. Assessing it in your own space before ordering in quantity is straightforward good practice.

Key practical points worth considering before ordering the full range:

• PVD finish provides strong durability compared to standard plated alternatives
• Suitable for commercial dishwasher use
• 18/0 stainless steel construction — magnetic and robust for daily service
• Copper-toned finish suits warm, rustic, or artisan table settings
• Sample set covers the three core pieces needed to assess the full table lay

If you're unsure whether Cyprium is the right pattern for your setting, or you'd like to discuss how it sits alongside other ranges in the Olympia catalogue, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

The Olympia Saphir sample set provides a practical way to assess the range before placing a full cutlery order. The set includes three pieces — a table knife, table fork, and dessert spoon — allowing front-of-house managers and buyers to evaluate the weight, balance, and finish in their own setting rather than relying on catalogue images alone.

Saphir is made from 18/10 stainless steel, which gives it a good level of corrosion resistance and helps maintain its high-polish finish through regular commercial dishwasher cycles. The design features softly tapered ends with a clean, contemporary profile that sits comfortably across a range of dining styles, from casual bistro to more formal restaurant settings.

From a practical standpoint, the finish holds up well to the repeated thermal and chemical exposure of high-cycle dishwashing, which is a reasonable baseline test for any cutlery being considered for commercial use. The tapered handle shape is comfortable to hold and unlikely to feel out of place in most table settings.

The sample set is sold as a single pack of three pieces and is intended for evaluation purposes. Full covers are sold in dozens, so quantities scale sensibly once you have confirmed the range is right for your operation. It is worth considering whether the weight and style of the Saphir range suits your service format — heavier, more substantial cutlery ranges are available if your setting calls for them, as are more understated options for higher-volume casual dining.

If you would like to talk through how the Saphir range compares to other cutlery in the catalogue for your specific covers and service style, the team is happy to help you make the right call before you commit to volume.

The Olympia Ana range is a slimline, contemporary cutlery pattern finished in 18/10 stainless steel with a high-polish surface. The sample set contains three pieces drawn from the range, allowing operators to assess the weight, balance, and finish in person before committing to full dozen quantities for service.

In a table service environment, cutlery handles a great deal of daily use and repeated dishwasher cycles. The 18/10 grade stainless steel used here offers good corrosion resistance and retains its polish finish well under the conditions typical of a commercial dishwasher, making it a practical long-term choice rather than a short-term economy option.

The Ana pattern suits front-of-house settings where a clean, refined aesthetic matters — contemporary restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and café-bars are among the most common environments for this style of cutlery. The slimline handle profile gives the range a lighter feel in the hand, which works well for lighter dining occasions and modern cover layouts.

It is worth noting that the sample set is intended purely for assessment purposes. Full service quantities are sold in dozens, so the sample set is the sensible starting point before placing a larger order. If you are covering multiple covers or need a broader pattern range, it is worth considering the full Ana collection alongside any other patterns you are evaluating.

If you are unsure which cutlery pattern suits your setting or how quantities translate to your cover count, we are happy to talk it through.

The Olympia Kings cutlery set provides 12 complete place settings across 48 pieces, covering knives, forks, and spoons in polished 18/0 stainless steel with a traditional regency crest handle design. It is a straightforward, practical option for operators who need reliable table cutlery without unnecessary complexity.

18/0 stainless steel is a widely used grade in commercial hospitality environments. It offers reasonable durability and corrosion resistance under regular commercial dishwasher cycles, and the polished finish presents well on the table. It is worth noting that 18/0 contains no nickel, which means it is slightly less resistant to discolouration over time compared to 18/10 grades — a consideration for operations running very high wash volumes over extended periods.

The Kings pattern suits a range of settings, from pub dining and casual restaurants to staff canteens and event catering. The classic handle design works well where operators want something presentable without committing to a premium price point.

• 48 pieces covering knives, forks, and spoons across 12 place settings
• Polished 18/0 stainless steel suitable for regular commercial dishwasher use
• Traditional regency crest pattern suited to casual and mid-range dining
• Practical buy-in quantity for smaller operations or as supplementary stock

For higher-volume sites or operations where longevity under intensive washing is a priority, an 18/10 grade set may be worth considering. If you are stocking a new venue or topping up existing cutlery across multiple covers, we are happy to help work out the right quantity and grade for your service.

The Olympia Harley cutlery set provides a complete 12-cover place setting — knives, forks and spoons — in a single pack of 48 pieces. The pieces are finished in high-polish 18/0 stainless steel with a simple etched double-step pattern, giving a clean, unfussy appearance that works across a range of casual and mid-market dining environments.

18/0 stainless steel contains no nickel, which makes it a practical choice where budget and running costs matter. It is harder and more resistant to bending than some might expect at this price point, though it is worth noting that 18/0 is more prone to surface marking over time compared to 18/10 grades. For high-turnover operations where cutlery losses and replacements are a regular consideration, that trade-off is often entirely acceptable.

The Harley pattern suits operations where a consistent, presentable table setting is needed without the outlay of a premium range. Commonly used in:

• Staff canteens and workplace catering
• Cafés and casual dining venues
• Pub food operations and hotel buffets
• Hospitality training environments

The set requires no installation considerations — it is ready to use from delivery. For operations running multiple seatings or large covers, buying in additional packs to maintain a sufficient front-of-house float is worth factoring in from the outset.

If you are equipping a new site or reviewing your cutlery range and are unsure whether this grade suits your service style, we are happy to talk it through.

The Olympia Bead cutlery set provides 12 complete place settings — knives, forks, and spoons — finished in polished 18/0 stainless steel with a classic beaded border detail. It is a straightforward, practical choice for operators who need reliable table cutlery without unnecessary complexity.

18/0 stainless steel contains no nickel, which makes it a common choice in budget-conscious or high-turnover environments where cutlery sees frequent use, regular machine washing, and the occasional disappearance. It is honest about what it is: a durable, functional product rather than a premium silverware specification. The beaded border gives it a traditional appearance that sits comfortably in casual dining rooms, cafés, pubs, and canteen settings.

From an operational standpoint, this set works well as a stock rotation solution — buying in multiples means you always have sufficient covers in circulation even during a full sitting, with enough in reserve to cover losses or items in the wash cycle. Key practical points:

• Polished finish resists surface staining under regular dishwasher cycles
• Beaded border design suits traditional and informal dining settings
• 18/0 grade performs reliably in high-turnover, high-wash environments
• Pack of 48 covers 12 place settings straight from the box

For operators running larger covers or catering operations where table turns are frequent, it is worth considering buying in higher quantities to maintain adequate circulation. For venues requiring a heavier gauge or higher-grade steel, alternative specifications are available in the catalogue.

If you are unsure how many sets to stock relative to your cover count or wash cycle frequency, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

The Olympia Kelso range is a plain-pattern cutlery set in 18/0 stainless steel, supplied here as a 48-piece pack covering knives, forks, and spoons across 12 place settings. It is a straightforward, no-frills option aimed at operators who need reliable, presentable cutlery in volume without a significant outlay per cover.

18/0 stainless steel contains no nickel, which makes it a practical choice for high-throughput environments where cutlery passes through commercial dishwashers repeatedly throughout a service. It is less resistant to rust over the long term than 18/10 grades, so operators running very aggressive wash cycles or leaving cutlery in standing water should be aware of that trade-off. For most canteen, café, and casual dining settings with normal dishwashing practice, it performs reliably day to day.

The Kelso pattern has a simple, clean profile that suits a wide range of table settings without drawing attention to itself — a practical advantage in venues where consistency across covers matters more than style. The pack size of 48 pieces is a useful starting quantity for smaller operations or as a top-up for existing stocks.

• Plain pattern works across casual dining, canteen, and café settings
• Suitable for regular commercial dishwasher use
• Cost-effective way to cover or replenish 12 place settings
• Consistent finish helps maintain a tidy table presentation

If you are equipping a larger site or expect heavy daily attrition, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity or an 18/10 grade would be more economical over time. We are happy to talk through the options if you are unsure which specification fits your operation best.

The Olympia Monaco sample set gives operators the opportunity to assess this cutlery pattern before committing to a full table setting order. The set contains three pieces finished in 18/0 stainless steel with a double edge step design handle — a clean, contemporary profile that sits comfortably in casual dining, café, and mid-range restaurant environments alike.

18/0 stainless steel is a practical choice for high-volume operations. It is durable, dishwasher-safe, and resistant to the rigours of a busy pass and frequent commercial wash cycles. It does not carry the same corrosion resistance as 18/10 grades, so operators in coastal locations or those using aggressive dishwasher chemicals should factor that into the decision.

Sample sets of this kind are typically used by purchasing managers or front-of-house teams who want to check weight, balance, and visual fit against existing tableware before placing a larger order. Having pieces in hand also allows for a straightforward comparison against current stock.

Please note that sample sets are non-returnable, so they are best treated as a trial purchase rather than a resalable item. If you are uncertain whether the Monaco pattern is the right weight or style for your covers, or if you are weighing it against other patterns in the range, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to talk through the options.

The Olympia Mayfair sample set provides a practical way to assess this cutlery pattern before committing to a full cover quantity. The set includes three pieces in the Mayfair range — a classic, traditionally styled design with a clean handle profile that suits formal dining and smart casual settings equally well. Pieces are made from 18/0 stainless steel, which offers good durability and is a practical choice for high-throughput environments where large quantities of cutlery are run through commercial dishwashers repeatedly each service.

18/0 stainless steel contains no nickel, which makes it slightly more prone to surface marks over time compared to 18/10 grades, but it remains a widely used and cost-effective option across restaurants, hotels, contract catering, and hospitality venues. The Mayfair pattern's traditional styling tends to work well in settings where a more refined table presentation is expected without the cost associated with premium silverware.

This sample set is intended purely for assessment purposes — to check weight, finish, and suitability against your existing tableware before ordering in volume. It is worth noting that sample sets are non-returnable, so it is worth confirming the pattern is right for your covers before ordering the full range.

If you are unsure whether Mayfair is the right pattern for your setting, or whether 18/0 or 18/10 steel better suits your dishwashing setup and service frequency, we are happy to talk it through before you place a larger order.

The Olympia Henley sample set gives operators the opportunity to assess the pattern in person before placing a full quantity order. The set includes three pieces across the main sizes, allowing front-of-house managers and chefs to evaluate handle weight, balance, and finish against their table setting before committing to bulk stock.

Henley is made from 18/0 stainless steel, which is the standard grade used across much of the hospitality industry for everyday table service. It is practical and cost-effective for high-turnover environments where cutlery sees regular machine washing and the occasional knock. The finish has a clean, classic appearance that sits comfortably in casual dining, pub restaurants, and café settings.

As a sample set, this is specifically intended for evaluation rather than service use. It is non-returnable, so it is worth taking care when ordering to ensure it is the pattern you intend to trial.

If you are unsure whether Henley is the right pattern for your covers, or if you are weighing it against other weights and finishes in the range, we are happy to talk through what tends to work well in different service environments.

The Olympia Clifton sample set allows catering operators to assess the pattern, weight, and finish of the Clifton cutlery range before committing to a full-table order. The set contains three pieces — a table knife, table fork, and dessert spoon — covering the core items most relevant to evaluating how the range will perform in service.

Clifton is an 18/0 stainless steel pattern with a contemporary handle profile. In a busy front-of-house setting, 18/0 steel is a practical choice: it is less costly than 18/10, holds up well under commercial dishwashing cycles, and suits operations where cutlery replacement is a routine budget consideration. The trade-off is that 18/0 carries a modest reduction in long-term corrosion resistance compared to 18/10, which is worth bearing in mind for sites with particularly aggressive dishwasher chemistry.

Ordering a sample set is a sensible step before purchasing cutlery in quantity. It allows front-of-house managers to check that the handle style, piece weight, and overall aesthetic are consistent with the look and feel of the dining room, and to compare the Clifton range against other patterns under consideration.

Please note that sample sets are supplied as a non-returnable item, which is standard practice across the industry for this type of evaluation product.

If you are working through a full table setting selection or weighing up several patterns at once, the team is happy to talk through which options tend to suit different service styles and covers volumes.

The Olympia Buckingham sample set provides three representative pieces from the Buckingham cutlery range, allowing operators to assess the weight, finish, and handle profile before placing a full cover order. The pieces are finished in 18/0 stainless steel with a smooth, rounded handle edge — a practical choice for high-turnover environments where cutlery takes considerable daily handling and washing.

18/0 stainless steel is commonly specified in contract catering, pub kitchens, and canteen operations where durability and cost-effectiveness take priority over the premium appearance associated with 18/10 grades. It is a well-proven material for busy service environments, holding up reliably through commercial dishwasher cycles. The smooth round-edge handle is straightforward to keep clean and comfortable for diners across long service periods.

Ordering a sample set first is a sensible step before committing to full table covers. It allows front-of-house managers and chefs to assess the feel and presentation against their table setting before investing in quantity. Please note that sample sets are non-returnable, so it is worth handling the pieces carefully before deciding.

If you are unsure whether the Buckingham pattern suits your service style, or if you need guidance on cover quantities and grades for your volume of covers, the team is happy to help you work through the options before you order.

The Olympia Dubarry sample set provides a practical way to evaluate this cutlery pattern before placing a full order. The set includes three pieces across different sizes, allowing you to assess the handle profile, weight, and finish in a real service context rather than making a judgement from photography alone. The Dubarry pattern features a gently curled edge along the handle, giving it a degree of visual refinement without being overly ornate.

The cutlery is manufactured in 18/0 stainless steel, which is a practical and cost-effective choice for commercial use. It does not contain nickel, which means it is less resistant to corrosion than 18/10 grades over time, but it remains a widely used specification in contract catering, canteen, and café environments where replacement cycles are managed as a matter of course.

• Allows in-service assessment of weight, balance, and finish before bulk ordering
• Curled handle detail suits a range of dining styles from casual to mid-market
• 18/0 stainless steel is a practical choice for managed replacement environments
• Suitable for evaluating how the pattern presents on your specific table setting

It is worth noting that sample sets are non-returnable, so these are intended for genuine pre-purchase evaluation rather than casual browsing. If you are undecided between patterns or grades, or want to discuss which cutlery specification best suits your service volume and table turn, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Olympia Harley sample set provides a practical way to assess the Harley cutlery pattern before committing to a full service quantity. The set includes three pieces — a table knife, table fork, and dessert spoon — allowing front-of-house managers and buyers to evaluate the weight, finish, and handle feel against their existing tablescape before placing a larger order.

Harley cutlery is produced in 18/0 stainless steel and features an etched double step design on the handle. The 18/0 grade is commonly used in busy catering environments where cost efficiency matters and the risk of tarnishing in commercial dishwashers is the primary consideration. The etched detailing adds a degree of visual interest without the maintenance complexity of a highly polished or heavily textured finish.

• Etched double step handle for a clean, contemporary table setting
• 18/0 stainless steel construction suited to high-cycle commercial dishwashing
• Three-piece format covers the key items needed to assess the range
• Practical pre-purchase trial option before ordering full covers

It is worth noting that sample sets of this type are non-returnable, which is standard practice across the industry for trial pieces. This set is intended purely as a pre-purchase evaluation tool and is not sized for service use.

The Harley range is well suited to casual dining, pub restaurants, cafés, and contract catering operations where a contemporary but unfussy cutlery pattern is appropriate. If your covers or service style call for a heavier gauge or a different finish, it is worth comparing the Harley alongside other patterns in the Olympia range before deciding.

If you are unsure which pattern or grade best fits your operation, the team are happy to talk through the options with you.

The Olympia Kings sample set offers a practical way to assess the Kings pattern before committing to a full cutlery order. The set includes three pieces finished in 18/0 stainless steel, featuring the traditional regency crest design on the handle that is commonly specified in formal dining and classic table settings.

18/0 stainless steel is a widely used grade in commercial hospitality. It offers reliable durability and resistance to everyday commercial warewashing, though it contains no nickel, which means it is marginally less resistant to corrosion than 18/10 over the longer term. For most front-of-house environments this is not a practical concern, and the grade remains a well-established choice across hotels, restaurants, and contract catering operations.

The Kings pattern itself suits formal or traditional dining environments — hotel restaurants, private dining rooms, banqueting, and establishments where a more classical table presentation is appropriate. It is less commonly chosen for casual dining or modern bistro settings where a cleaner, plainer handle profile tends to be preferred.

Sample sets are intended purely for assessment and pattern approval purposes. They are non-returnable, so it is worth confirming the pattern and grade are right for your operation before ordering. If you are weighing up whether Kings is the right choice for your covers, or whether 18/0 is the appropriate grade for your warewashing setup, the team are happy to talk it through.

The Olympia Bead sample set provides three representative pieces from the Bead cutlery range, allowing operators to assess the pattern, weight, and finish in person before placing a full order. The Bead design features a classic beaded border running along the handle, giving it a traditional, formal appearance that works well in a range of dining settings from hotel restaurants to event catering.

Constructed from 18/0 stainless steel, the Bead range is a practical choice for high-volume, high-turnover environments where cutlery passes through commercial dishwashers repeatedly. 18/0 stainless steel contains no nickel in its composition, which makes it more resistant to the caustic detergents commonly used in commercial dishwashers, though it is worth noting that it offers somewhat less corrosion resistance than 18/10 grades over the very long term.

For operators choosing cutlery for a new opening or a refurbishment, handling a sample set before committing to several dozen or several hundred covers is a sensible step. It allows front-of-house staff to weigh in on comfort and appearance, and gives the purchaser confidence that the pattern suits the table setting and service style intended.

Please note that sample sets are non-returnable, as stated by the manufacturer.

If you are unsure whether the Bead pattern suits your setting, or would like guidance on the appropriate grade of stainless steel for your service volume and dishwashing setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Olympia Kelso sample set is a small selection of cutlery pieces from the Kelso range, supplied so that operators can assess the pattern, weight, and finish in their own environment before committing to a full stock order. The Kelso range features a plain, undecorated handle in 18/0 stainless steel — a practical choice for commercial settings where a clean, unfussy look works across multiple dining styles.

18/0 stainless steel contains no nickel in its composition, which makes it harder and more resistant to bending under everyday use in a busy service environment. It is a common specification for commercial catering cutlery where durability and cost-efficiency take priority. The plain handle profile is straightforward to clean and holds up well through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles.

A sample set is particularly useful when:

• Matching cutlery across multiple covers or dining areas with different existing stock
• Assessing how the weight and balance feel in a front-of-house setting before ordering at volume
• Comparing the plain handle finish against other patterns under your actual lighting conditions

It is worth noting that sample sets are supplied on a non-returnable basis and are limited to one set per customer — they are intended for evaluation purposes only, not as a purchasing shortcut for small quantities.

If you are deciding between cutlery grades or patterns for a new opening or a full cutlery replacement, the team is happy to talk through what tends to work well for different service styles and cover volumes.

The Olympia Torino range is a contemporary cutlery pattern finished in high-polish 18/10 stainless steel. The handles carry a subtle wave profile that follows the natural contour of the hand, giving the cutlery a considered, tactile feel without veering into heavy ornamentation. This sample set allows you to assess the weight, finish, and overall presentation before committing to full dozen orders for front-of-house service.

In day-to-day service, 18/10 stainless steel holds its finish well under commercial dishwasher cycles and resists the surface pitting and discolouration that can affect lower-grade alloys over time. The Torino's high-polish surface is straightforward to maintain and presents consistently across multiple washes — a practical consideration for any operation running high table-turn volumes.

The sample set typically covers the core pieces you need to evaluate the range across a table setting. Key considerations for operators:

• 18/10 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and staining under regular commercial washing
• High-polish finish presents well across a broad range of table settings, from casual dining to more formal covers
• Waved handle profile provides a comfortable, secure grip in everyday use
• Sold in dozens once the full range is ordered — sample sets allow confident selection before bulk purchase
• Non-returnable sample sets: handle with care during assessment

The Torino sits in the mid-weight category of Olympia's cutlery portfolio. It suits restaurants, hotels, and contract catering environments where a clean contemporary look is preferred. Operations seeking a heavier-gauge or more traditional pattern will find other options within the broader Olympia range worth comparing.

If you're specifying cutlery across multiple covers or want to discuss how the Torino sits alongside other patterns in the Olympia catalogue, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Olympia Roma sample set provides a practical way to assess the Roma cutlery pattern before committing to a full service quantity. The set includes three pieces representative of the range, allowing front-of-house managers and purchasers to evaluate the weight, finish, and overall feel in hand before placing a larger order.

Roma is a classically proportioned pattern with smooth, flowing curves leading to a scooped teardrop handle. The design sits comfortably between formal and contemporary, making it a practical choice for restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and function venues where a polished, understated table setting is appropriate without leaning into heavily ornate silverware styles.

The cutlery is produced in 18/10 stainless steel with a high-polish finish. The 18/10 grade offers good corrosion resistance and retains its appearance well through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles, which matters in busy operations where cutlery goes through high turnover service.

• High-polish finish holds up well through commercial dishwasher use
• 18/10 grade stainless offers reliable corrosion resistance over time
• Smooth handle profile is comfortable to hold across a full service
• Design suits formal and contemporary dining settings equally well

It is worth noting that sample sets are non-returnable, so they are intended for evaluation purposes only. If you are unsure which weight or pattern suits your operation, or if you are comparing Roma against other patterns in the range, the team is happy to talk through the options before you commit to a full order.

The Olympia Napoli sample set provides a practical way to assess the range before committing to a full cutlery order. The set includes three pieces representing the range — allowing front-of-house managers and buyers to evaluate weight, finish, and proportion in context before placing a larger order.

Napoli is a slimline, geometric pattern in a high-polish finish, produced from 18/10 stainless steel. The forged construction gives the pieces a solid feel in the hand without being heavy, and the clean lines suit contemporary table settings across a range of dining styles — from casual dining and brasseries through to smarter restaurant environments.

18/10 stainless steel is a reliable choice for commercial use. The higher nickel content compared to lower-grade alternatives gives better resistance to corrosion and maintains its appearance well through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles over time.

A few practical points worth noting before ordering: sample sets are non-returnable, so they are intended for evaluation purposes rather than general resale or supplementing existing stock. If you are assessing Napoli for a new venue or a full re-lay, this is the sensible starting point.

If you would like guidance on quantities for a specific cover count, or want to discuss how Napoli sits alongside other patterns in the Olympia range, the team is happy to help.
