Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The timeless shell design is incredibly versatile for various dining concepts.
  • Con: As 18/0 steel, it needs to be dried properly to prevent water spots.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle Tea Room in Bakewell needed to replace its mismatched and  tired cutlery to better reflect its classic, cosy atmosphere. They wanted something traditional and  hard-wearing that could handle hundreds of cream teas a week.

"We chose the full Olympia Jesmond collection, including the dessert knives. The difference was immediate. They have a lovely polish and  feel substantial, which our customers have actually commented on. They've been through the dishwasher countless times and  still look fantastic."

Robert Davies – Owner

The upgrade contributed to a more polished guest experience, reinforcing the tea room's reputation for quality and  attention to detail.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon arrival, unbox and  inspect each knife for any transit damage.
  • Give all knives a thorough wash with detergent before their first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • If using a cutlery polisher, ensure the machine is suitable for this type of cutlery.

Keeping It Going

  • Rinse food off the knives as soon as possible to prevent acids from marking the steel.
  • These are dishwasher safe, but for the best long-term finish, remove and  hand-dry them after the cycle.
  • Avoid using harsh scouring pads or abrasive chemicals, which can scratch the polished surface.
  • Store in a dry place, preferably in a cutlery drawer or container to prevent scratching.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Cutlery

Not sure what to look for when stocking up on cutlery? Here are a few tips to help you choose the best fit for your business.

Material Matters

18/0 steel (like this) is durable and  magnetic, great for cutlery savers. 18/10 steel contains nickel, offering higher corrosion resistance but at a higher cost.

Match Your Style

Choose a design that complements your brand. The Jesmond's classic shell motif suits traditional settings, while plain, sleek designs are better for modern restaurants.

Weight and  Feel

Good cutlery should feel balanced and  comfortable. A heavier weight often feels more premium to customers, enhancing their perception of quality.

Consider the Collection

Buying from an established collection like Jesmond means you can easily get matching forks, spoons, and  specialist pieces now or in the future for a consistent look.

Think About Quantity

Always order more than you think you need. Account for items being in the wash, in use, and  for the occasional loss to ensure you're never caught short during a busy service.

Why '18/0 Stainless Steel' is a Smart Choice

Ever wondered what the numbers on stainless steel cutlery actually mean? The '18/0' on this 18/0 stainless dessert knife Olympia refers to its makeup: 18% chromium and  0% nickel. Think of chromium as the steel's built-in raincoat; it’s what gives it fantastic protection against rust and  corrosion from everyday food and  washing. The '0' means it's nickel-free. While nickel adds extra corrosion resistance, its absence here gives the cutlery a secret superpower for busy kitchens: it's magnetic. This means if you use a magnetic cutlery saver or retriever system on your bins, these knives won't get accidentally thrown away, saving you a fortune in replacement costs over time. It's a small detail that makes a huge operational difference.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Hotels & Guest Houses: Perfect for dining rooms and  in-room service, offering a classic and  dependable cutlery solution for guests.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: An ideal choice for creating an elegant, traditional table setting that complements a wide range of dishes.
  • Cafés & Tea Rooms: The perfect knife for serving alongside cakes, scones, and  pastries, enhancing the afternoon tea experience.
  • Event Caterers & Function Halls: A cost-effective and  durable option that provides a smart, uniform look for weddings and  corporate events.
