Dessert forks are the smaller of the two kinds of fork we offer, and are primarily designed as the name suggests to eat dessert with. However, these forks are also useful pieces of cutlery for appetisers and entrées.
Our bead cutlery is so named because it features an attractive beading border. They are made of high-grade stainless steel to give the best finish. They are one of our most popular styles of cutlery available, and while we have literally thousands of pieces in stock at busy times of year availability can go quickly.
Don't worry about cleaning your cutlery hire prior to collection
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 delivery of cutlery works
At Expo Hire we are committed to offering the very best quality of service. All of our cutlery is cleaned and carefully checked by our warehouse staff before being packed ready for transit to customers in the whole of the country
