Dessert Fork Hire London
Polished 185mm Olympia stainless steel dessert forks, professionally cleaned and ready for service. 3-day hire with delivery and collection across London.
About Our Dessert Forks
Our 185mm Olympia dessert forks are designed for starters, desserts, cakes and lighter courses. Slightly smaller than a dinner fork, they have the same polished stainless steel finish and sit neatly alongside the rest of our Olympia cutlery range. Dessert fork hire in London from Murphy's Event Hire is an affordable way to ensure every course at your event has the right cutlery.
Each fork is delivered clean, polished and packed securely. After your event, rinse and return — we take care of everything else.
The Go-To Fork for Starters, Desserts and Cake
Dessert forks are one of the most versatile items in a cutlery hire order. Our clients use them for a wide range of purposes:
- Plated starters — paired with a dessert knife for the first course at weddings and formal dinners.
- Desserts — essential for plated desserts, tarts, cheesecake and pastries.
- Wedding cake — the standard fork for serving wedding cake and celebration cakes.
- Afternoon tea — used for cakes, scones and finger sandwiches that need a fork.
Dessert forks are often the most-requested cutlery item after dinner forks and knives. They complete a formal place setting and give your guests the right tool for every course.
How Many Dessert Forks Do You Need?
The quantity depends on your menu:
- Starter course only — 1 dessert fork per guest.
- Starter and dessert — 2 per guest (cutlery is cleared between courses).
- Cake service only — 1 per guest.
- Afternoon tea — 1 to 2 per guest depending on the menu.
For a wedding with 100 guests serving a starter, dessert and cake, you would need around 300 dessert forks. Always add 10 to 15 percent extra for spares. Contact us and we will help you work out the right number based on your specific menu.

Frequently Asked Questions

Allow 1 dessert fork per guest per course that needs one. If you are serving a plated starter and a dessert, that is 2 dessert forks per guest. Add 10 percent extra as spares.
Can dessert forks be used for cake?
Yes. Dessert forks are ideal for cake, tarts, pastries and other desserts. They are the standard fork for cake service at weddings, afternoon teas and celebrations.
Do the dessert forks match your other cutlery?
Yes. All our cutlery is from the Olympia range with a matching polished stainless steel finish. Dessert forks coordinate perfectly with our dinner forks, knives and spoons.
