Delivery Information

Price Match

The Elia Virtu table fork is part of a cutlery range designed to stand apart from more conventional patterns. The handle profile is substantial and sculpted, giving the piece a confident presence on the table whilst remaining comfortable to hold during a full meal service. It is produced in 18/10 stainless steel throughout, which provides good resistance to corrosion and discolouration under repeated commercial dishwasher cycles.

In a busy restaurant or hotel environment, cutlery takes considerable punishment — repeated machine washing, polishing, and handling by multiple staff members across every service. The Virtu fork holds up well to this kind of daily use. The solid handle construction means there are no hollow sections or joined components that could loosen or trap food debris over time, which simplifies both cleaning and long-term maintenance of your cutlery stock.

From an operational standpoint, the Virtu pattern offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

  • Solid handle construction — no joints or seams to deteriorate under heavy use
  • 18/10 stainless steel resists staining and corrosion through repeated machine washing
  • Distinctive profile adds a considered aesthetic without requiring a full table setting overhaul
  • Sold in packs of 12, making it straightforward to stock in multiples that match your cover count
  • Can be stored flat in cutlery trays or stood upright in table presentation vessels

It is worth considering whether the Virtu pattern is consistent with the rest of your table setting before committing to a full order. The handle design is distinctive, so it sits best where it can be used as a cohesive set rather than mixed with contrasting patterns. For very high-volume operations with rapid turnaround requirements, it is also worth reviewing the full Elia range to confirm this is the right weight and style for your service style.

If you would like to discuss how the Virtu range fits alongside your existing tableware, or to work out the right quantity for your cover count, the team is happy to help.

Frequently asked questions

How many packs do I need to order for a typical restaurant cover count?

As a general rule, most operations aim for two to two-and-a-half sets of cutlery per cover to allow for turnover during service and items in the wash cycle. For a 40-cover restaurant, three to four packs of 12 would be a reasonable starting point, though this depends on your service style and turnaround speed.

Is the Virtu fork suitable for use in a high-volume banqueting or contract catering environment?

The Virtu pattern is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and mid-to-high-end dining settings where presentation matters alongside durability. For very high-volume banqueting operations where cutlery is handled and processed in very large quantities at speed, it is worth speaking to us about whether the weight and profile of this range is the right practical fit for your operation.

Can the Virtu fork be washed in a commercial dishwasher, and will it discolour over time?

Yes, the 18/10 stainless steel construction is suitable for repeated commercial dishwasher use. The 18/10 grade provides good resistance to the corrosion and staining that lower-grade steels can suffer under frequent high-temperature washing, though using a good-quality rinse aid and ensuring cutlery is dried promptly will help maintain appearance over the long term.
