Product Description
The Sola Lotus Airside table fork is part of Churchill's Sola Lotus range, a pattern designed with a clean angular profile and a polished finish. Manufactured from 18/0 stainless steel, it is a practical, straightforward piece of flatware built for consistent front-of-house use in catering environments where volume and durability matter more than silverware weight.
The 18/0 grade stainless steel construction is commonly specified in high-throughput catering operations — particularly airside hospitality, contract catering, and institutional foodservice — where cutlery cycles through dishwashers repeatedly over the course of a service period. The material offers reliable corrosion resistance and holds its appearance well under regular commercial cleaning.
From an operational standpoint, the Lotus Airside fork offers a few practical advantages worth noting:
- Dishwasher safe — suited to fast-turnaround service environments
- Uniform angular pattern makes sorting and wrapping straightforward
- High-shine finish presents well on a laid cover without specialist polishing
- Pack of 12 supports incremental stock top-ups without over-ordering
There are no special installation or storage requirements. As with all commercial flatware, performance and longevity are influenced by the quality of the dishwasher rinse cycle and whether appropriate cutlery baskets are used to prevent nesting, which can lead to uneven cleaning.
This fork is well suited to catering operators looking for a presentable, hard-wearing everyday pattern at a practical price point. It is a reasonable choice for airside catering, contract dining, and event catering where a consistent look is needed across a large cover count. Operators requiring a heavier gauge or a sterling-silver-effect finish may find other patterns in the wider Sola range more appropriate for their setting.
If you are equipping a new site or standardising across an existing operation, our team is happy to help you work out the right quantities and patterns before you commit to an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, 18/0 stainless steel is a practical choice for high-frequency dishwasher use and is widely specified in contract catering and airside operations for that reason. It offers good corrosion resistance, though ensuring your dishwasher has a properly maintained rinse-aid dosing system will help maintain the finish over time.
- That depends on your cover count, service style, and how quickly cutlery cycles through your wash operation. As a general guide, most operators hold between two and three times their peak cover count to allow for service, washing, and a buffer — so a 50-cover restaurant might look at five or six packs of forks as a starting point. We are happy to help you work through the right quantities for your specific operation.
- The Lotus Airside is designed with a clean, contemporary profile that works well in smart-casual and catering environments, but operators looking for a heavier gauge or a more traditional silverware aesthetic may find it better suited to mid-market or high-volume settings than to fine dining. If you are unsure whether the pattern fits your service style, our team can advise on alternatives within the Sola range.
