Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Walled Garden Restaurant in Chester needed to replace its entire cutlery collection. Their old set was a mix of styles, looking tired and  unprofessional, which didn't match the quality of their food or the ambience of their historic location.

"We wanted cutlery that felt premium but could handle a fully-booked service, seven days a week. The Olympia Harley range was the answer. This restaurant table spoon is sturdy, looks fantastic, and  the cohesive design across the whole range has really lifted our table presentation."

Robert Davies – General Manager

The investment resulted in consistently positive comments from diners on the overall table setting and  a noticeable reduction in staff time spent polishing or replacing damaged items.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, unbox and  inspect the spoons for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Give them a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Organise them in clean, dry cutlery trays or holders, ready for service.

Keeping It Going

  • For the best results, rinse off food debris promptly after use to prevent acids from marking the polish.
  • Always use a non-abrasive detergent in the dishwasher to protect the high-polish finish.
  • Towel dry immediately after washing or use a glass polisher for a brilliant, streak-free shine.
  • Avoid leaving cutlery to soak for extended periods, especially in water with high salt or mineral content.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Cutlery

Feeling a bit lost in the world of professional cutlery? Here are a few key pointers to help you find the perfect fit for your business.

Weight and  Balance

Consider the feel. Heavier, well-balanced cutlery often feels more luxurious to a customer, enhancing their perception of quality.

Material Matters: 18/0 vs 18/10

18/0 (like this spoon) is durable and  cost-effective. 18/10 contains nickel for extra shine and  rust resistance, but at a higher price point.

Finish and  Style

A high-polish finish provides a classic, gleaming look. A satin or brushed finish can hide fingerprints and  offer a more contemporary feel.

Design Consistency

Choosing a named range, like the Harley range soup spoon, makes it easy to buy matching forks, knives, and  teaspoons for a cohesive look.

Think About Durability

Look for solid-forged pieces rather than items where the handle is attached separately, as these are far more robust for commercial use.

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

You'll often see numbers like '18/0' or '18/10' when looking at stainless steel cutlery for restaurants, but what does it actually mean for your business? The '18/0' on this spoon refers to its composition: 18% chromium and  0% nickel. The chromium is the most important part, as it's what gives the steel its fantastic resistance to rust and  corrosion.

Think of the chromium as a tough, invisible shield protecting the spoon from everything you can throw at it – detergents, acidic foods, and  endless cycles through the dishwasher. The '0' means it contains no nickel. While nickel can add a little extra lustre and  hardness (as in 18/10 cutlery), omitting it makes the spoon significantly more affordable without compromising that core protective shield. It's a practical, cost-effective choice that ensures your cutlery remains durable and  presentable for years.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling City Bistros: An ideal choice for upgrading from mismatched sets to a uniform, professional look for daily service.
  • Hotel Function Rooms: Perfect for large-scale banquets and  events, offering durability and  classic style that impresses guests.
  • Independent Cafés & Delis: A brilliant, affordable way to enhance the presentation of hearty homemade soups and  daily specials.
  • Event & Contract Caterers: A reliable workhorse that withstands constant transport, washing, and  use across multiple venues.
