Forks

Forks for hire might not be the sexiest of products on our website, but they are a fundamental part of our cutlery hire offering and place settings would look just a little bizarre without them.

What do I need to know about fork hire?

There are two main types of fork used in a place setting. The larger is the table fork, which can be either paired with a knife or spoon or even used on its own to eat food. The smaller forks are known as dessert forks but these are used for starters and hors d’oeuvres as well as for puddings. We carry literally thousands of these in stock as they are needed in almost every cutlery hire order we will take.

The main differences in style for forks are in the patterning on the handle, however there is a contemporary trend for gold and silver coloured forks for that modern look.

Do I need to clean my fork hire before I return them?

Cleaning cutlery after a big function is not only a boring job but is also the time when cutlery is most likely to get lost while on hire.

It’s the main reason why we have made it compulsory for all cutlery items to have the send it back dirty option added at checkout. All a customer needs to do is to ensure that all food debris is scraped off cutlery before it’s repacked ready for collection.

How does delivery of forks for hire work?

We clean and check every fork before banding them together in packs ready to go out for delivery. If you would like them polished we recommend giving them a little buff before use to give them some extra sheen. For larger orders, we always recommend adding a few extra just to cover any unexpected eventualities.
