Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand Brasserie in Bath needed to standardise its cutlery. Their collection had become a mismatch of different styles over the years, which detracted from the elegant dining atmosphere they worked hard to cultivate.

"We chose the Olympia Buckingham range because it looked fantastic and  felt sturdy. Our staff love how easily it cleans, and  guests have commented on the quality feel. It’s a small touch that has made a big impact on our presentation."

Robert Evans – Restaurant Manager

By switching to the Olympia U881 soup spoons and  matching range, The Grand Brasserie achieved a perfectly uniform, polished look across all 80 covers, enhancing the overall guest perception of quality.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

First Use & Setup

  • Before first use, wash all spoons thoroughly in hot, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Inspect each piece to ensure it meets your quality standards upon arrival.
  • Designate a clean, dry cutlery tray or container for storage to prevent scratches and  keep them organised.

Keeping Them Gleaming

  • Always wash cutlery after use to prevent food acids from causing damage or stains.
  • To avoid water spots, dry the spoons promptly after washing, either by hand or with a dishwasher rinse aid.
  • Avoid using abrasive steel wool or harsh scouring pads, which can scratch the polished surface.
  • For a periodic refresh, you can use a stainless steel polishing agent to restore their original brilliant shine.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Cutlery

Not sure which cutlery range is right for your establishment? Here are a few key things to consider to make the perfect choice.

Material Matters

Consider 18/0 steel (like this one) for fantastic durability and  value, or 18/10 for extra lustre and  corrosion resistance in very demanding environments.

Weight and  Feel

The weight of cutlery implies quality. Look for a piece that feels balanced and  comfortable in the hand, not too light or overly heavy.

Match Your Style

Choose a design that complements your brand. A classic teardrop handle, like the Buckingham, is versatile and  timeless, fitting most decors.

Think in Volume

Buying in box quantities is more cost-effective and  ensures you have enough stock for busy services and  to cover any occasional losses.

Finish and  Function

A high-polish finish offers a classic, upscale look, while a satin or matte finish can hide fingerprints and  scratches more effectively.

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

You'll often see numbers like 18/0 or 18/10 when looking at cutlery, and  it can be a bit confusing. It's actually a simple code for the metal's makeup. '18/0' means the steel contains 18% chromium and  0% nickel. Chromium is the hero ingredient that gives stainless steel its excellent rust and  corrosion resistance, which is vital for commercial use.

Think of it like choosing a coat. An 18/0 stainless steel spoon is like a trusty, high-quality waterproof jacket. It's tough, reliable, and  does its job perfectly day in, day out, protecting you from the elements. An 18/10 spoon (with 10% nickel) is like the premium GORE-TEX version – it offers a bit of extra resistance to pitting and  a higher lustre, but comes at a higher price. For the vast majority of busy restaurants and  caterers, 18/0 provides the perfect blend of performance, durability, and  outstanding value.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Bistros & Restaurants: Ideal for daily use, offering a reliable and  professional look for your main dining service.
  • Hotels & Conference Centres: Perfect for outfitting dining rooms and  banquet tables with consistent, high-quality cutlery.
  • Canteens & Cafeterias: A durable, cost-effective solution for high-volume settings in schools, hospitals, and  offices.
  • Event Caterers & Hire Companies: A hard-wearing and  stackable option that travels well and  always looks the part for any event.
