Hire spoons for events and weddings: dessert spoons, teaspoons, soup spoons and serving spoons. Stainless steel and silver-plated options.
Expo Hire stocks dessert spoons, soup spoons, teaspoons and serving spoons for events and catering across England and Wales. Available in stainless steel everyday patterns and silver-plated formal ranges to match your full place setting. All cutlery is washed and polished before dispatch.
Dessert spoons are used alongside a dessert fork for sweet courses and as the main utensil for soups, mousses and other liquid-based dishes. They are one of the most versatile pieces in the cutlery range and suit multiple courses at a formal dinner without requiring a separate soup spoon.
Soup spoons have a rounder, deeper bowl than a dessert spoon and are the correct choice for a liquid soup course at a formal dinner where course-specific cutlery is appropriate. Teaspoons are used for tea and coffee service, stirring drinks and serving sugar. They are needed in quantity at any event with a hot drink service.
Patterns include stainless steel Harley Parish and Bead Parish, and silver-plated Kings Parish and Virtue Exclusive. Serving spoons are covered in more detail in the speciality cutlery range.
Any multi-course dining event needs spoons alongside forks and knives. A wedding breakfast for 100 guests with a soup course and a dessert course needs 100 soup spoons, 100 dessert spoons and 100 teaspoons. That is 300 individual spoons before you add serving spoons for the buffet or the top table.
Conferences with morning and afternoon breaks need teaspoons in bulk. A 100-delegate conference going through two breaks needs a minimum of 100 teaspoons plus either a wash cycle between breaks or 200 teaspoons if washing between breaks is not practical.
Award ceremonies and formal dinners use silver-plated spoons to complete the table setting. Matching the spoon pattern to the fork and knife pattern is the detail that distinguishes a well-ordered table from a mixed one.
Calculate by cover count: one soup spoon per person for a soup course, one dessert spoon per person for a dessert course, one teaspoon per person for hot drink service. Order a 10 per cent overage for breakage and transit loss. Expo Hire delivers across England and Wales.
