Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle Tea Room in Shrewsbury was looking to upgrade its table settings to match its newly refurbished, quintessentially British interior. Their existing cutlery was a mix of styles and  was looking tired after years of service.

"We wanted cutlery that felt special but could handle being used and  washed dozens of times a day. The Olympia Mayfair dessert knives were perfect. They have a lovely weight, and  the classic design gets so many compliments. It’s the little details that make a difference."

Robert Davies – Owner

The simple upgrade to cohesive, elegant cutlery contributed to a noticeable improvement in the tea room's overall ambiance and  presentation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

First Use and  Setup

  • Before first use, wash the knives thoroughly in warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Hand-dry with a soft cloth after washing to enhance the polish and  prevent water spots.
  • Visually inspect each knife to ensure it meets your standards before placing it into service.

Keeping It Going

  • These knives are dishwasher safe, but avoid using abrasive detergents or scouring pads.
  • To prevent spotting, remove cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the cycle finishes and  dry if necessary.
  • Avoid leaving cutlery to soak for long periods in water, particularly with acidic or salty food residues.
  • A gentle polish with a microfibre cloth from time to time will keep them looking their best.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Cutlery

Not sure what cutlery fits your establishment best? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Material Matters

18/0 steel (like this knife) is durable, magnetic, and  great value. 18/10 steel has added nickel for enhanced rust resistance and  a softer sheen, but at a higher cost.

Consider Your Style

Choose a cutlery design that complements your brand. A classic, embossed pattern like Mayfair suits traditional settings, while sleek, minimalist designs are better for modern venues.

Weight and  Feel

Heavier, well-balanced cutlery often feels more luxurious to a customer. Lighter cutlery can be easier to handle and  stack for staff in high-volume situations.

Durability is Key

Ensure any cutlery you choose is rated for commercial dishwashing. It needs to withstand high temperatures and  frequent washing cycles without degrading.

Buy for Consistency

Always purchase cutlery from an established range or collection. This ensures that when you need to order replacements or additions, you can get an exact match.

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

Ever wondered what the numbers in '18/0 stainless steel' actually mean? It’s simpler than it sounds and  tells you a lot about the cutlery's performance. The '18' refers to its 18% chromium content, which is the key ingredient that provides that brilliant shine and, more importantly, protects the steel from rust and  corrosion. The '0' means it contains a negligible amount of nickel. This makes the cutlery more affordable than its 18/10 counterpart. Think of the chromium as a tough, weatherproof coat that keeps the knife looking sharp. A handy side-effect of having no nickel is that the cutlery is magnetic, which is a real bonus if you use a magnetic cutlery saver or sorting system in your kitchen, helping to reduce accidental waste.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Boutique Hotels & Guesthouses: Perfect for adding a touch of class to your in-room dining trays and  restaurant dessert service.
  • Fine Dining Restaurants: An ideal choice to complement a sophisticated dessert menu without breaking the bank on silverware.
  • Wedding & Event Venues: A durable and  elegant option for large-scale catering that needs to look smart and  last.
  • High-End Cafés & Bistros: Elevate the customer experience from the main course right through to the coffee and  cake.
