  • Best Feature: Its versatile design fits in everywhere from a modern bistro to a traditional pub.
  • Heads-Up: The 18/0 steel needs immediate drying after washing to prevent water spots.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle Tea Room in Bakewell, Peak District, recently refurbished its dining area and  wanted to replace its mismatched, tired cutlery with a uniform set. They needed something classic, durable, and  affordable to serve their famous puddings and  cakes.

"The Olympia Kelso cutlery was just what we were after. Our customers have noticed the difference, and  the staff find them so much easier to polish and  sort. They look brilliant on the tables and  have really lifted the whole feel of the place without a massive outlay."

Robert Davies – Proprietor

The switch to a single, matching cutlery range has improved table presentation consistency and  reduced staff sorting time after washing by an estimated 20%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon arrival, unpack the knives and  check the full box quantity.
  • Give them a thorough first wash with a mild detergent to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • For a perfect first impression, give each knife a quick polish with a soft, dry cloth.

Keeping It Going

  • These knives are dishwasher safe, but for the best results, remove and  dry them as soon as the cycle finishes.
  • Avoid leaving them to soak for long periods in water, especially with salty or acidic foods.
  • Never use abrasive scourers or steel wool, as this will scratch the high-polish finish.
  • Store in a dry cutlery drawer or container to protect them from scratches and  moisture.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Cutlery

Not sure what fits your business best? Here are a few things to consider when choosing your next set of cutlery.

Material Matters

18/0 steel (like this Kelso range) is a durable and  cost-effective choice, ideal for high-turnover venues. 18/10 offers superior rust resistance due to its nickel content, but at a higher price point.

Design & Atmosphere

Choose a design that matches your brand. Simple, polished designs are incredibly versatile, while more ornate or modern styles can make a specific statement.

Weight and  Feel

The 'heft' of cutlery conveys quality. A well-balanced knife feels good in the hand. The Kelso range strikes a great balance between feeling substantial and not being overly heavy.

Durability for Daily Use

Look for solid, one-piece construction. This avoids weak points where handles can bend or break, ensuring your investment lasts longer in a demanding environment.

Check the Whole Range

Choosing a design from a large collection like Olympia Kelso means you can easily buy matching forks, spoons, and  other pieces later, ensuring a consistent look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these knives dishwasher safe?

What Does '18/0 Stainless Steel' Mean for Your Kitchen?

Ever wondered what the numbers on cutlery mean? It's simpler than it sounds. '18/0' tells you about the metal mix: it's made with 18% chromium for hardness and  rust resistance, and  0% nickel. The lack of nickel makes it a more budget-friendly option compared to 18/10 cutlery, which is great for keeping costs down. Think of it as the reliable Ford Transit of the cutlery world – it’s a tough, dependable workhorse designed for daily graft. While it's not quite as corrosion-resistant as its 18/10 cousin (which is why we recommend drying it promptly), its strength and  value make the commercial dessert knife Olympia an incredibly popular choice for smart businesses everywhere.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Bistros: Perfect for high-volume settings needing durable, stylish, and  matching cutlery for a professional image.
  • Hotels & Event Venues: An ideal, cost-effective solution for equipping dining rooms, conference lunches, and  wedding breakfasts.
  • Cafés & Dessert Parlours: Upgrade your cake and  dessert presentation with a dedicated, elegant knife that feels great to use.
  • Canteens & Contract Caterers: A hard-wearing and  budget-friendly choice for outfitting large-scale dining operations simply and  effectively.
