Elia Reed

The Elia Reed dessert fork is a classically proportioned piece of tableware, made from 18/10 stainless steel and finished to a high polish. The Reed pattern sits in the mid-range of Elia's cutlery catalogue — substantial enough to feel considered at the table, without the weight or price point of the brand's heavier prestige ranges. It is the kind of cutlery that works quietly in the background, which is generally what a busy front-of-house operation needs.

For everyday service use, the polished 18/10 construction offers reliable resistance to staining and tarnishing through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. The gauge is generous enough to give a solid feel in the hand without being unwieldy, and the mirror finish holds up well under regular use when handled and stored correctly.

Sold in packs of 12, the Reed dessert fork suits operations that need to refresh or build out cutlery stocks without committing to large quantities at once. It fits comfortably into a range of cover styles — from relaxed dining through to more formal settings where a simple, clean pattern reads as intentional rather than plain.

If you are building a full Reed place setting or need to assess whether the pattern sits well alongside your existing tableware, the team is happy to talk through your covers and service style before you order.

The Elia Reed soup spoon is a classically styled piece of table cutlery, finished to a high polish and produced in 18/10 stainless steel. The design is clean and unfussy, with a profile that sits comfortably in a formal or semi-formal cover without drawing attention away from the food. Sold in packs of 12, it is a practical buying unit for operators managing stock across multiple tables or covers.

Reed is made to a generous gauge, which gives it a solid feel in the hand — an important consideration for front-of-house presentation. Lightweight or flimsy cutlery tends to undermine the perception of quality at the table, and this range avoids that. The high-polish finish is consistent across the range, which helps when mixing pieces across a service or replacing items over time.

In practical terms, 18/10 stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance and holds up well through commercial dishwasher cycles. The polished finish does show water marks if items are left to air-dry, so a drying and polishing step in the clearing and reset process is worth factoring into front-of-house workflow.

This spoon suits restaurants, hotels, and dining operations running a traditional or contemporary European cover. It works well in mid-range to fine dining environments where cutlery weight and finish quality are part of the overall guest experience. For operations with very high turnover or casual dining formats, a simpler or more economical range may be more appropriate.

If you are building out a full cover or matching across an existing range, the team is happy to help you confirm compatibility and quantities before you order.

The Elia Reed table knife is a classically proportioned piece of restaurant cutlery, finished to a high polish in 18/10 stainless steel. The design sits within the traditional end of the market — clean lines, a generous gauge, and a balanced feel in the hand — making it a straightforward choice for operators who want reliable, presentable cutlery without an overly contemporary aesthetic.

In a busy front-of-house environment, cutlery takes considerable punishment through repeated service, commercial dishwashing, and handling. The 18/10 stainless steel construction offers good resistance to tarnishing and corrosion under those conditions, and the polished finish tends to maintain its appearance well over time with regular commercial washing cycles.

The Reed range suits a wide variety of dining environments — from hotel restaurants and function venues to brasseries and mid-range casual dining. It presents well on the table without being overly formal, which gives it broad appeal across different covers. Supplied in a pack of twelve, it's a practical quantity for topping up existing stock or equipping a small section.

If you're fitting out a larger dining room or need to consider a full cutlery set across multiple covers, it's worth thinking through quantities carefully to avoid a mismatch between pieces. The Reed pattern is available across other cutlery types within the Elia range, so building a consistent table setting is straightforward.

If you're unsure how many packs you need for your cover count, or whether this pattern suits the style of your operation, feel free to get in touch — we're happy to talk it through.

The Elia Reed dessert spoon is a solid 18/10 stainless steel piece finished to a high-shine mirror polish. It is part of the Reed pattern, a design that sits comfortably across both traditional dining rooms and contemporary restaurant settings without looking out of place in either.

In a busy service environment, cutlery takes a considerable amount of daily handling, repeated machine washing, and the occasional rough treatment that comes with high covers. The 18/10 stainless steel construction gives the Reed spoon good resistance to tarnishing and corrosion over time, and the weight and balance feel considered rather than lightweight, which tends to read well to guests at the table.

• Solid 18/10 stainless steel construction resists tarnishing through frequent commercial dishwasher cycles
• Mirror polish finish maintains its appearance with standard warewashing practice
• Neutral Reed pattern works across formal and informal table settings
• Sold in packs of 12, practical for building up covers or replacing losses
• Consistent sizing across the Reed range supports a coordinated table lay

Supplied in packs of 12, the Reed dessert spoon is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and event caterers who want reliable, presentable cutlery without unnecessary complexity. For operators running higher covers or needing to stock a full cutlery range, the Reed pattern extends across a wider set of pieces, which makes building a consistent table setting straightforward.

If you are unsure how many packs to order for your cover count, or whether the Reed pattern fits the style of your operation, we are happy to help you work it through.

The Elia Reed dessert knife is a well-proportioned table piece in 18/10 stainless steel, designed to sit comfortably in a cover where a full dinner knife would feel oversized. The Reed pattern follows a classic outline with clean, considered detailing — a straightforward choice for operators who want a consistent, professional table setting without leaning heavily into ornate or contemporary extremes.

In service, the balance between blade and handle makes the piece comfortable to use and easy for front-of-house staff to handle during plating and clearing. The 18/10 stainless steel grade gives good resistance to staining and corrosion under regular commercial dishwashing cycles, which matters over time in busy operations where cutlery is turned around multiple times per service.

Practical considerations for operators:

• 18/10 stainless steel holds its finish well under repeated high-temperature commercial dishwashing
• Consistent weight and balance supports smooth, comfortable use for guests
• Suited to dessert covers, cake service, and afternoon tea settings
• Sold in packs of 12, allowing straightforward stock management by cover count
• The Reed pattern coordinates within a broader Elia Reed cutlery range

The pack-of-12 format suits most operators buying per table or section. For larger operations or venues running high covers across multiple sittings, it is worth considering how many packs you need to hold enough stock through a full service without running short during a dishwash cycle.

If you are building out a full Reed place setting or are unsure how many pieces to order for your cover count and table turns, the team is happy to help you work through the numbers before you commit.

The Elia Reed Teaspoon is a standard-gauge 18/10 stainless steel teaspoon, supplied in packs of twelve. It sits within Elia's Reed pattern range — a clean, unfussy design that works across a range of table settings without feeling out of place in either a casual café or a more considered dining environment.

In day-to-day service, 18/10 stainless steel holds up well under repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. The higher nickel content in the alloy helps resist corrosion and maintain appearance over time, which matters when cutlery is going through a glasswasher or dishwasher multiple times a day. The Reed pattern's straightforward profile also means there are no ornate details to trap residue or slow down polishing.

At 145mm in length, this sits in the standard teaspoon range — appropriate for hot drinks service, side plates, and dessert accompaniments such as preserves or cream. The gauge gives the piece a reassuring weight in the hand without being heavy.

A few practical points worth considering: teaspoon attrition rates in busy operations can be high, so it is worth thinking about how many covers you run and what your replacement cycle looks like before settling on a quantity. Packs of twelve suit smaller operations or those topping up an existing Reed pattern set; higher-volume sites may want to look at larger pack options.

If you are building out a full Reed pattern specification or matching to existing table settings, it is worth speaking with us — we can help ensure you have the right pieces and quantities across the range.
