Soup Spoons

The Olympia Jesmond soup spoon is a straightforward, well-finished piece of cutlery suitable for everyday use in restaurants, cafés, hotels, and catering operations. Made from polished 18/0 stainless steel, it features a shell motif on the handle — a classic detailing that suits both formal dining and mid-market table settings without looking out of place in either. The spoons are sold in dozens, which aligns with the practical reality of stocking and replacing cutlery in busy service environments.

18/0 stainless steel is a sensible choice for high-throughput operations where cutlery goes through commercial dishwashers repeatedly. It is robust and resistant to the rigours of daily service, though it is worth noting that 18/0 does not contain nickel, which means it has a slightly less bright finish over time compared to 18/10 grades. For most catering settings this is a practical compromise between durability and cost.

• Polished finish suits a wide range of table settings
• Shell motif handle adds understated detail without being overly decorative
• Dishwasher safe and suited to commercial wash cycles
• Sold in dozens — straightforward to stock and reorder
• 18/0 stainless steel offers reliable durability at a practical price point

These spoons are well suited to mid-range restaurants, pub kitchens, hotel dining, and contract catering where consistent presentation and durability matter more than premium tableware grades. If your operation requires a higher-specification cutlery pattern or a heavier gauge, there are alternative options worth considering.

The Olympia Dubarry soup spoon is a straightforward, polished stainless steel spoon designed for everyday use in commercial foodservice environments. Made from 18/0 stainless steel, it offers reliable durability at a practical price point — a sensible choice for operations where cutlery goes through high-frequency laundering and the occasional knock.

18/0 stainless steel contains no nickel, which makes it slightly less corrosion-resistant than 18/10 over the long term, but it remains a widely used and accepted grade across casual dining, canteens, hotels, and contract catering. The polished finish presents well on the table and holds up well to commercial dishwasher cycles when handled and stored correctly.

Sold in packs of 12, the Dubarry spoon is well suited to operators building or refreshing a stock of covers, or those who need a cost-effective backup supply to manage attrition.

• Polished finish suits both casual and mid-range table settings
• 18/0 stainless steel withstands regular commercial dishwasher use
• Sold by the dozen — straightforward to stock in multiples
• Rounded profile sits comfortably in the hand for soup service

If you're uncertain how many covers to stock or whether 18/0 suits your operation, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Olympia Bead soup spoon is a straightforward, practical piece of tableware suited to everyday commercial service. Finished in high-polish 18/0 stainless steel with a classic beaded border detail, it sits comfortably within a traditional or formal table setting without looking out of place in a more contemporary dining room.

18/0 stainless steel is a sensible choice for high-turnover operations. It lacks the nickel content of 18/10 grades, which makes it marginally less corrosion-resistant over time, but it handles commercial dishwasher cycles reliably and holds its polish well under regular use. For most catering environments — canteens, pub restaurants, hotels, and function venues — it represents a practical balance between durability and cost.

Supplied in packs of 12, the Bead range is well suited to operators building or topping up a consistent cutlery set across a dining room. The beaded border pattern is a long-established design that wears well and is familiar to guests without drawing attention to itself — which is generally what you want from a soup spoon.

A few practical points worth considering: 18/0 stainless is best suited to soft-water areas or operations with well-maintained dishwasher chemistry. In hard-water environments without adequate rinse aid, spotting and surface dulling can develop over time. If longevity is the priority in a particularly demanding environment, an 18/10 alternative may be worth considering.

If you're specifying cutlery across a new or refurbished dining room and want to talk through the right grade or pattern for your operation, we're happy to help.

The Olympia Kelso soup spoon is part of one of the most widely used cutlery ranges in UK catering. Finished in high-polish 18/0 stainless steel, it follows a plain, unfussy pattern that suits a broad range of dining settings — from casual bistros and pub dining rooms through to hotel restaurants and contract catering.

18/0 stainless steel contains no nickel, which makes it more affordable than 18/10 grades while still offering good resistance to everyday wear. In a busy operation where cutlery goes through the glasswasher multiple times a day, that balance of cost and durability matters. The high-polish finish helps maintain a clean, presentable appearance through regular commercial washing cycles, though like all polished cutlery it benefits from prompt drying to avoid water spotting.

Supplied in packs of 12, the Kelso range is straightforward to order in quantity and easy to mix and match with other pieces in the same pattern, which helps keep table settings consistent as stock is refreshed over time.

If you are equipping a new operation or replacing an existing range and would like to talk through quantities or how the Kelso pattern sits alongside other tabletop choices, the team is happy to help.
