Dessert Spoon Hire London
Polished 180mm Olympia stainless steel dessert spoons, professionally cleaned and ready for service. 3-day hire with delivery and collection across London.
About Our Dessert Spoons
Our 180mm Olympia dessert spoons have a smooth, balanced design with a polished stainless steel finish. They are the ideal size for desserts, soups, ice cream and any dish that needs a spoon. Dessert spoon hire in London from Murphy's Event Hire lets you provide proper cutlery for every course without the expense of building a large collection.
Every spoon is delivered clean, polished and packed securely. After your event, rinse and return — we handle the professional cleaning.
Essential for Desserts, Soups and More
Dessert spoons are needed more often than you might expect. Any course that is not eaten with a knife and fork will need a spoon. Our clients hire dessert spoons for:
- Desserts and puddings — the standard spoon for plated desserts at weddings, corporate dinners and private events.
- Soup courses — suitable for both chunky and smooth soups as a starter.
- Ice cream and sorbet — for individual servings or a self-serve ice cream station.
- Trifle and fruit salad — bowled desserts that need a spoon rather than a fork.
Pair dessert spoons with our dessert forks to give guests the option for each course. Many plated desserts are served with both a spoon and fork.
How Many Dessert Spoons Do You Need?
The right quantity depends on your menu:
- Dessert course only — 1 spoon per guest.
- Soup and dessert — 2 spoons per guest (cleared between courses).
- Dessert buffet or ice cream station — 1.5 per guest to keep clean spoons available.
For a wedding with 100 guests serving a soup starter and a plated dessert, you would need around 200 dessert spoons plus 10 to 15 percent extra. Not sure what you need? We are happy to help — just get in touch with your menu and guest count.

We deliver dessert spoons alongside your other cutlery in secure containers to venues across all London boroughs. Spoons arrive polished and ready to lay straight onto the table or beside each place setting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dessert spoons used for at events?
Dessert spoons are used for puddings, soups, ice cream, fruit salad, trifle and other dishes that need a spoon rather than a fork. They are a standard part of formal and semi-formal place settings.
How many dessert spoons should I hire?
Allow 1 dessert spoon per guest per course that requires one. For a meal with both a soup starter and a pudding, you would need 2 spoons per guest. Add 10 percent extra as spares.
Can I use dessert spoons for soup?
Yes. Our 180mm dessert spoons are suitable for soup, desserts and any dish that calls for a spoon. For very formal events, some clients prefer separate soup spoons, but our dessert spoons work well for both.
Do the dessert spoons match your other cutlery?
Yes. All our cutlery is from the Olympia range with the same polished stainless steel finish. Dessert spoons match our dinner knives, dinner forks, dessert knives and dessert forks.
What is the minimum order?
There is no strict minimum. You can hire as few or as many spoons as you need. Most clients order cutlery as part of a full place setting for their event.
