Bead Parish cutlery for formal dining, with forks, knives, spoons and tea service. Live stock and online booking.
Bead Parish cutlery has a fine bead border running the length of the handle — a traditional English silverware pattern that has been standard in hotel banqueting for over a century. The weight sits between everyday stainless and the heavier premium ranges, making it the practical choice for volume formal dining where handling thousands of pieces is part of the service reality.

Order the full place setting by course: one dinner fork and knife per main course guest, dessert spoon or fork per dessert course, side knife per cover if a bread course is served. Add 10% to all quantities for service contingency.
All four Expo Hire cutlery patterns suit formal dining. The differences are in formality and weight:
No. Place cutlery in the original crates after use — no rinsing required. Expo Hire handles commercial dishwashing at the depot. Scrape large food debris from serving pieces before packing.
Mixing patterns at the same place setting is not recommended for formal events. Different patterns can be used in different rooms or for different courses if needed.
No minimum quantity per item. The minimum order value for any delivery is £50 ex-VAT excluding carriage.

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.
Expo Hire does not charge a security deposit. A free minor damage waiver covers minor damage and loss. Excessive or negligent damage is charged at 10 times the hire price. Full details in our terms and conditions.
