Olympia Bead

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 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 Bead steak knife is a serrated-blade table knife designed for commercial restaurant and hospitality use. Finished in polished 18/0 stainless steel with a classic beaded border detail, it sits within Olympia's Bead cutlery range — a pattern widely used in mid-market restaurants, hotels, and function catering where a traditional, formal table setting is appropriate.

In practice, the serrated blade handles a broad range of steaks and grilled meats reliably without requiring sharpening between services. The polished 18/0 stainless steel construction is durable under commercial dishwasher cycles, though it is worth noting that 18/0 does not carry the same corrosion resistance as 18/10 — rinsing promptly after service and avoiding prolonged soaking will help maintain the finish over time.

• Serrated blade cuts through steak and grilled meats without repeated sharpening
• Polished finish suits formal and semi-formal table settings
• Beaded border pattern coordinates with the wider Olympia Bead cutlery range
• Commercial dishwasher safe for efficient post-service turnaround
• Sold in a pack of 12, suitable for straightforward stock top-up

A pack of 12 is a practical top-up quantity for an established cover count. Operators running larger dining rooms or high-turnover steak-focused menus will typically need multiple packs to maintain adequate rotation through the wash cycle. If you are setting up cutlery for a new site or replacing a full range, it is worth considering the full Bead pattern to keep the table presentation consistent.

If you would like guidance on quantities relative to your cover count or advice on coordinating with other Bead pattern pieces, we are happy to help before you order.

The Olympia Bead coffee spoon is a compact 120mm teaspoon-sized piece finished in high-polish 18/0 stainless steel. The defining feature is a traditional beaded border running the length of the handle, giving it a more considered appearance than plain flatware without moving into ornate territory.

In everyday service, this style of cutlery performs reliably in café, restaurant, and hotel environments where coffee, espresso, and dessert covers are served repeatedly throughout the day. The high-polish finish on 18/0 stainless steel is straightforward to keep clean in a commercial dishwasher and holds up well with regular use, though 18/0 is less corrosion-resistant than 18/10 and benefits from prompt drying if your water supply is particularly hard.

Practical points worth noting for operators:

• Traditional beaded border suits both casual and mid-market formal covers
• 18/0 stainless steel is a cost-effective choice for high-turnover services
• Sold in packs of 12 — straightforward to order in quantity for larger operations
• Consistent sizing simplifies storage and mise en place

The beaded pattern sits comfortably in a mid-market setting. For a plainer, more contemporary look there are alternative handle styles available, and for more formal covers an 18/10 grade may be a better fit. If you're specifying flatware across an opening or a full cutlery refresh and want to talk through the options, the team is happy to help you get the selection right.

The Olympia Bead service spoon is a standard catering spoon finished in 18/0 stainless steel with a high-polish surface and a classic beaded border detail. Supplied in packs of 12, these spoons are suited to front-of-house table settings in restaurants, hotels, and catering operations where a consistent, presentable cutlery pattern is needed across covers.

18/0 stainless steel contains no nickel, which keeps the cost per piece lower than 18/10 equivalents. It is a practical choice for operations with high turnover or where cutlery losses are a regular consideration. The high-polish finish presents well on the table and holds up through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles, though 18/0 can be more susceptible to surface spotting over time in hard water areas without appropriate glasswasher rinse aid or water softening.

• Classic beaded border pattern suitable for formal and informal dining settings
• High-polish finish presents well on the table
• 18/0 stainless steel — cost-effective for high-turnover operations
• Supplied in packs of 12 for straightforward stock management
• Suitable for commercial dishwasher use

For operations running a full place setting, Olympia produce the Bead pattern across multiple pieces, which makes it straightforward to maintain a coordinated look across a table. If you are building out a full cutlery range or need guidance on quantities relative to your cover count, the team are happy to help you work through the numbers.

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 Bead Teaspoon is a standard commercial teaspoon finished in 18/0 stainless steel with a high-polish surface and a classic beaded border detail running along the handle. It is a practical, everyday piece of flatware suited to cafés, hotels, restaurants, and contract catering operations.

18/0 stainless steel contains no nickel, which makes it more affordable than 18/10 grades while remaining corrosion-resistant under normal commercial use. It performs reliably through repeated machine washing cycles, though operators in high-chloride environments should be aware that 18/0 can be more susceptible to surface marking over time than higher-grade alloys.

The beaded border gives the spoon a traditional, formal appearance that suits table settings in hotels, tearooms, and traditional restaurants. It is a well-recognised pattern and tends to work across a range of cover styles without looking out of place.

• Consistent, presentable finish suitable for front-of-house service
• Traditional beaded pattern suits formal and semi-formal table settings
• High-polish surface cleans cleanly in commercial dishwashers
• Sold in packs of 12, making stock replenishment straightforward

If you are equipping a larger operation or need to match this pattern across a full cutlery range, it is worth checking whether the Bead pattern is available across other piece types to ensure a consistent table setting. For high-turnover sites with significant cutlery attrition, it may also be worth considering a heavier-gauge alternative.

If you are unsure whether this pattern and grade is the right fit for your covers, we are happy to help you think it through.

The Olympia Bead dessert spoon is a straightforward, practical piece of tableware made from 18/0 stainless steel with a high-polish finish and a beaded border running the length of the handle. It is sold in packs of 12, making it a sensible buy for operators looking to top up an existing cover count or introduce a consistent pattern across their table settings.

18/0 stainless steel is widely used in commercial hospitality because it holds its appearance well under regular machine washing and handles the wear of busy service environments without excessive tarnishing. It is not the highest-grade steel available, but for casual dining, café service, and everyday table covers it is a practical and cost-effective choice. Operators running fine-dining or silver-service environments may want to consider a higher-grade 18/10 pattern instead.

The beaded border gives the piece a defined, classic look that sits comfortably across a range of table settings without appearing too formal or too plain. It layers neatly in cutlery trays and rolls tidily in napkins, which helps with prep and reset between covers.

If you are building a full place setting or matching to existing Bead-pattern pieces, it is worth checking the full range covers all the pieces your service requires before ordering. If you are unsure how many covers a pack of 12 will realistically support across a service, or whether this pattern suits your setting, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you work it out.

The Olympia Bead dessert fork is a standard-weight dessert fork finished in high-polish 18/0 stainless steel with a classic beaded border detail running along the handle. It sits within Olympia's established Bead cutlery pattern, which is a commonly used range across mid-market restaurants, hotels, and casual dining operations that want a consistent, presentable table setting without the cost associated with heavier silverware grades.

18/0 stainless steel contains no nickel, which makes it more affordable to produce and purchase. It performs reliably in commercial dishwasher cycles and holds its polish well under regular use, though operators switching from 18/10 patterns should be aware that 18/0 is marginally more susceptible to surface marking over extended periods of heavy use. For most dining environments running standard covers, this is unlikely to present a practical concern.

Sold in packs of 12, the Bead dessert fork is a practical choice for building or topping up cutlery stocks. The beaded border gives the piece enough visual detail to suit a dressed table setting, while the plain practicality of the design keeps replacement costs manageable. Suitable for use across dessert, starter, and side courses depending on your service style.

If you're building out a full table setting or need to match an existing Bead pattern already in use, it's worth speaking with us to confirm pack quantities and available pieces before ordering.

The Olympia Bead dessert knife is part of a well-established flatware range designed for consistent use in restaurants, hotels, and catering operations. Manufactured from 18/0 stainless steel with a high-polish finish, the pattern features a classic beaded border along the handle — a traditional style that suits formal dining settings and everyday table service alike.

18/0 stainless steel is commonly specified in high-turnover environments where cost-effective durability matters. It performs reliably through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles, though it is worth noting that 18/0 does not carry the same corrosion resistance as 18/10 — operators in coastal locations or those using aggressive warewashing chemicals may wish to consider that when selecting a flatware grade.

Supplied in a pack of 12, this format suits operators building or replenishing a table setting, and the Bead pattern is available across a full range of covers and serving pieces, making it straightforward to maintain a consistent look across the dining room.

If you are fitting out a new venue or matching an existing pattern, our team are happy to advise on pack quantities and range coverage to suit your service style.

The Olympia Bead table fork is a straightforward, mid-range piece of cutlery in high-polish 18/0 stainless steel, finished with a classic beaded border detail along the handle. It is a widely used pattern in commercial hospitality settings where a clean, traditional look is needed without the cost associated with higher-grade flatware.

18/0 stainless steel contains no nickel, which makes it less corrosion-resistant than 18/10 grades over the long term. In practice, this means it performs reliably in moderate-use environments and through regular commercial dishwasher cycles, though operators running very high-volume covers day after day may find a nickel-bearing grade holds its finish longer. For the right setting, it represents good value and consistent presentation across a full table lay.

Practical considerations for buying cutlery in this grade:

• Suited to casual dining, cafés, canteens, and mid-range restaurant covers
• High-polish finish is easy to check and present quickly during service
• Compatible with standard commercial dishwasher cycles
• The beaded border pattern is a classic profile that sits well in traditional table settings
• Sold in packs of 12, making it straightforward to top up existing stock

This fork is best suited to operators looking for a cost-effective, presentable cutlery solution for everyday covers. For high-end dining where longevity and finish retention are priorities, an 18/10 grade would be worth considering. If you are unsure which cutlery grade or pattern is right for your service style, we are happy to talk it through.

The Olympia Bead table knife is a straightforward, well-established piece of flatware suited to commercial dining environments. Finished in high-polish 18/0 stainless steel with a classic beaded border detail along the handle, it sits comfortably within the Bead pattern range, making it easy to build a consistent table setting across knives, forks, spoons, and serving pieces.

18/0 stainless steel is a practical choice for busy hospitality operations. It is durable, resists corrosion well under regular commercial dishwasher cycles, and maintains its appearance with standard care. The solid handle construction keeps the knife balanced and comfortable to hold during service, which matters when covers are high and cutlery is in constant circulation.

This pattern is commonly used in pub restaurants, hotel dining rooms, staff canteens, and casual dining operations where a clean, traditional aesthetic is wanted without the cost of heavier-gauge flatware. The beaded border gives it a slightly more formal look than plain-edge designs, making it adaptable across a range of cover styles.

Supplied in packs of 12, it is straightforward to order in the quantities needed for your service. If your operation runs multiple sittings or has a high rate of cutlery loss, ordering in sufficient volume to maintain a working float is worth considering. The Bead pattern is available across a full range of cutlery pieces, so matching items are easy to source.

If you are unsure how many pieces to order for your cover count, or want to discuss whether this pattern suits your table setting, we are happy to help you work it out.
