Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Olive Branch Bistro in Bath decided their old, mismatched cutlery was letting down their carefully curated table presentation. They upgraded to the Abert Matisse range to create a more cohesive and  premium feel for their diners.

"We noticed the difference immediately. The forks have a fantastic weight to them, and  customers have even commented on how nice they are to use. They come out of the dishwasher looking brand new every time, which is a huge plus for our busy team."

Robert Davies – General Manager

The bistro has seen a notable decrease in complaints about bent or stained cutlery and  estimates a 30% reduction in replacement costs annually due to the superior durability.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give all new cutlery a thorough wash before its first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • For the best shine, hand-dry the forks with a soft, microfibre cloth after the initial wash.
  • Organise them in cutlery trays or cylinders immediately to prevent scratching and  keep them ready for service.

Keeping It Going

  • When using a dishwasher, place forks in the basket with the tines facing up for a more effective clean.
  • Avoid soaking cutlery for long periods, especially with salty or acidic foods, to prevent pitting.
  • Never use abrasive scourers or steel wool, which will scratch the polished surface.
  • To restore a high shine, use a dedicated stainless steel polish occasionally as needed.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Cutlery

Not sure what to look for when choosing cutlery for your business? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Consider the Material

18/10 stainless steel offers the best resistance to rust and  a superior shine thanks to its nickel content. For tighter budgets, 18/0 is a durable alternative but may be more prone to staining over time.

Check the Weight and  Gauge

A higher gauge (like the 3mm on this fork) means thicker, stronger cutlery. It feels more substantial to the customer and  is far less likely to bend, making it a wise long-term investment.

Match Your Aesthetic

Think about your brand. A modern, minimalist design like the Matisse range suits contemporary venues, while ornate, traditional patterns are better for classic fine dining or tearooms.

Think About Durability

Look for solid, one-piece construction. Cutlery that is forged rather than stamped is generally stronger and  will withstand the demands of a busy commercial environment far better.

Plan Your Quantities

Always order more than you think you need. A good rule of thumb is to have three times the amount of your maximum covers to ensure you're never caught short during a busy service.

For over 90 years, this Italian brand has mastered the art of creating tableware that feels as good as it looks. The Matisse Commercial Table Fork is a prime example of this philosophy.

In the long run, investing in this level of quality means fewer replacements, consistent presentation, and  the quiet confidence that comes from knowing even the smallest details on your table are a class act.

What Does '18/10 Stainless Steel' Really Mean for Your Cutlery?

Ever seen '18/10' on cutlery and  wondered what it's all about? It's actually a simple recipe for quality. The '18' refers to 18% chromium, which is the key ingredient for fighting rust and  corrosion. Think of it as a tough, invisible shield protecting your fork from daily wear and  tear. The '10' stands for 10% nickel, and  this is the magic touch for a brilliant, long-lasting shine. More importantly, nickel prevents that faint metallic taste some cheaper cutlery can leave behind, ensuring your food tastes exactly as the chef intended. So, when you choose 18/10, you're not just getting a shiny fork; you're getting one that's built to last and  designed to let your food be the star.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Modern Restaurants & Bistros: Perfect for establishments wanting to create a sophisticated, contemporary dining atmosphere for their guests.
  • Boutique Hotels: Ideal for in-room dining or hotel restaurants where quality and  guest experience are paramount.
  • Wedding & Event Caterers: A reliable and  stylish choice that impresses clients and  withstands frequent, high-volume use.
  • Wine Bars & Upscale Cafes: Great for venues serving food platters and  meals, adding a touch of class to casual dining.
