£125.00(£150.00 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Diaz cake fork from Chef & Sommelier is a slender, contemporary-profile pastry fork intended for dessert, patisserie, and afternoon tea service. Made from 18/10 stainless steel, it sits within the more refined end of the Chef & Sommelier flatware range and suits settings where table presentation is taken seriously — restaurants, hotels, private dining, and café patisseries.
18/10 stainless steel is a reliable choice for commercial flatware. The higher nickel content gives it good resistance to staining and corrosion, which matters when pieces are going through commercial dishwashers multiple times a day. Over time it holds its finish better than lower-grade alloys, which can dull or develop surface pitting with repeated high-temperature wash cycles. For an operation running consistent covers, that durability is worth factoring in when comparing against cheaper alternatives.
From a practical standpoint, the Diaz fork works well where a lighter, more elegant piece is appropriate to the occasion — the slender profile fits naturally alongside fine crockery without looking out of place. Key practical points for operators:
- 18/10 construction handles repeated commercial dishwashing reliably
- Contemporary profile suited to formal, hotel, and patisserie environments
- Sold in packs of 12 for straightforward stock management
- Consistent finish supports cohesive table presentation across covers
- Well suited to cake, dessert, and afternoon tea service
When ordering, it is worth thinking through your cover count and how many sittings you run — operators turning tables quickly will generally want enough stock in circulation to avoid mid-service rewashing. If you are building out a complete cutlery range or are unsure on quantities, we are happy to talk through what makes sense for your operation.
Frequently asked questions
How many packs do I need for my cover count?
A general rule for flatware is to hold two to three times your seated cover count in circulation — this gives you enough stock to run service, allow for items in the dishwasher, and absorb breakages or losses without disruption. If you are running multiple sittings or a busy afternoon tea service, erring toward the higher end is usually worthwhile.
Is 18/10 stainless steel suitable for high-frequency commercial dishwashing?
Yes — 18/10 stainless steel is well regarded for commercial flatware precisely because the higher nickel content gives it better resistance to the corrosion and staining that repeated exposure to commercial dishwasher chemicals and high temperatures can cause. It is a more durable choice over time than 18/0 or lower-grade alloys, which can dull or pit with heavy use.
Does the Diaz pattern work alongside other flatware ranges or should it be kept as a dedicated set?
The Diaz has a clean, contemporary profile that tends to work well in modern or formal settings. Whether to mix it with other patterns depends on your table presentation standards — in most hotel and restaurant environments, keeping flatware within the same range or at least the same finish gives a more consistent look across covers. If you are building a full cutlery selection, it is worth reviewing the wider Diaz range to ensure the pieces you need are available.
