Elia Viola Dessert Forks 18/10 Stainless Steel (Pack of 12)
£42.70(£51.24 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Elia Viola dessert fork is a straightforward, well-made piece of commercial cutlery from a supplier with a solid reputation in the hospitality sector. Produced from 18/10 stainless steel with a mirror polish finish, the Viola sits within a contemporary flatware range characterised by clean lines and a consistent, modern profile. It is the kind of cutlery that works quietly in the background — presentable enough for formal dining, unfussy enough for everyday covers.
In service, what matters most with dessert cutlery is durability through repeated dishwasher cycles and resistance to spotting, dulling, or distortion over time. The 18/10 grade provides good corrosion resistance, and the 3.0mm gauge gives the fork a solid feel in the hand without being heavy. These are not lightweight, budget-grade pieces — they hold up well under regular commercial use and maintain their finish across sustained washing.
Practical points worth noting for operators:
- Dishwasher safe and suitable for commercial glasswasher and dishwasher cycles
- Mirror polish finish requires standard commercial detergent — avoid abrasive cleaning agents
- Supplied in packs of 12, making it straightforward to order in multiples to cover covers and breakage allowance
- Consistent with the broader Viola range, so mixed-piece table settings are achievable if required
The Viola dessert fork is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, event caterers, and contract catering operations looking for reliable, presentable cutlery at a sensible price point. It sits in the mid-range of the Elia catalogue — suitable for most commercial environments, though operators running very high-end fine dining may wish to consider heavier-gauge options within the range.
If you are outfitting a full table setting or are unsure which Elia range best fits your operation, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
Frequently asked questions
How many packs would a typical restaurant need to order for full service cover?
As a general rule, most operations budget for two to three times their seated cover count to allow for items in the dishwasher, on tables, and in reserve. For a 40-cover restaurant serving desserts, four to six packs of 12 would be a reasonable starting point, though this depends on your table turn rate and washing cycle speed.
Are the Viola dessert forks suitable for high-volume dishwasher use?
Yes. The 18/10 stainless steel construction and mirror polish finish are designed to withstand regular commercial dishwasher cycles. To maintain the finish over time, use appropriate commercial detergent and avoid abrasive cleaning agents or steel wool, which can mark the polish.
Does the Viola range include matching cutlery pieces for a full place setting?
The Viola is a full flatware collection, so matching dinner forks, table knives, spoons, and other pieces are available within the range. If you are building a complete table setting and want to confirm what is in stock or discuss quantities, it is worth speaking with the team before placing a larger order.
