Product Description
The Sola Durban dessert fork is a straightforward, well-proportioned piece of stainless steel cutlery suited to restaurant, hotel, and catering environments where a clean contemporary table setting is the aim. The Durban pattern carries simple, unfussy lines that sit comfortably alongside a wide range of tableware styles without competing for attention.
Made from 18/0 stainless steel, the forks offer reliable resistance to the everyday rigours of commercial dishwashing and regular handling. The finish holds up well in high-throughput operations where cutlery is cycled repeatedly through commercial glasswashers and dishwashers throughout a service. At 183mm in length the fork is a standard dessert size, appropriate for plated desserts, afternoon tea covers, and side settings.
For front-of-house teams, the practical advantages are straightforward:
- Dishwasher safe for efficient turnaround between covers
- Uniform finish supports consistent, well-presented table settings
- Supplied in packs of 12, making stock management straightforward
- Stainless steel construction resists staining and corrosion over time
- Compatible with the broader Sola Durban cutlery range for a coordinated setting
This fork is well suited to establishments running moderate to high covers where reliable, presentable cutlery is needed without the premium cost of a heavier-gauge pattern. It is a practical choice for casual dining, hotels, event catering, and contract hospitality operations. Sites requiring a more substantial feel — such as fine dining rooms — may find a heavier-weight pattern more appropriate for their setting.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A practical starting point is holding two to three times your cover count to allow for cutlery in use, items in the wash, and a buffer for breakage or loss. For 40 covers that would suggest somewhere between 80 and 120 dessert forks, so seven to ten packs of 12. The right number depends on how many covers you turn in a service and how quickly your wash cycle returns clean cutlery to the floor — we can help you work through this if useful.
- Yes, 18/0 stainless steel is a standard grade for commercial cutlery and handles repeated dishwasher cycles well. It lacks the nickel content of 18/10, which means it offers slightly less corrosion resistance in very harsh conditions, but for most commercial operations it performs reliably and is the most common grade found in catering environments.
- Yes, the Durban range is designed as a coordinated collection, so the dessert fork will match in finish and style with other Durban pieces including table forks, knives, and spoons. This makes it straightforward to build or extend a consistent full setting across your covers.
