Product Description
The Sola Bali side plate knife is a compact, patterned knife from Churchill's Sola Bali cutlery range. Made from 18/0 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish and a subtle embossed handle design, it is intended for use alongside bread, side dishes, or as part of a broader table setting.
In front-of-house service, side plate knives take considerable daily handling — placed, cleared, and put through the dishwasher repeatedly across multiple covers. The Bali's stainless steel construction holds up well to this routine, and the mirror finish retains its appearance with normal commercial dishwashing practice. The embossed handle pattern sits comfortably in hand without being decorative to the point of being impractical to clean.
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward turnaround between covers
- Corrosion-resistant stainless steel suited to high-frequency use
- Contemporary patterned handle works well alongside modern crockery
- Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for building or replenishing stock
Being 18/0 rather than 18/10 stainless steel, the Bali range is well suited to operators who need reliable, presentable cutlery at a sensible price point — particularly where volume purchasing or periodic replacement is part of the front-of-house budget. It is a practical choice for casual dining, cafés, and bistros rather than fine dining environments where a heavier-gauge cutlery pattern might be more appropriate.
If you are putting together a full Bali table setting or working out quantities for a new opening, we are happy to talk through what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
- 18/0 stainless steel is widely used in commercial catering environments and is a practical choice where durability and value are both priorities. It performs well under regular dishwasher use, though it lacks the small amount of nickel content found in 18/10 grades, which can make it marginally less resistant to surface marking over time. For most casual dining and café environments this is unlikely to be a significant concern.
- That depends on your cover count, the number of sittings per service, and your dishwasher turnaround time. A common starting point is holding two to three pieces per cover to allow for turnaround, but high-volume or multi-sitting operations often carry more. If you are unsure what quantity suits your setup, we are happy to help you work it out.
- Cutlery ranges are generally designed to stand alone as a consistent table setting, and mixing patterns is a front-of-house decision rather than a technical one. If you are building a mixed setting or topping up an existing range, it is worth checking that finish tones and weight profiles sit comfortably alongside each other — we can advise if you want a second opinion.
