About Our Buckingham Service Spoons
The Buckingham pattern is one of the most recognised and trusted cutlery designs in the UK catering industry. Its classic beaded-edge profile has been a standard in hotels, banqueting halls and event venues for decades. Our Buckingham service spoons are made from durable stainless steel, giving you a polished, professional look without the worry of tarnishing or damage during busy service.
Every spoon is delivered clean, polished and counted into sets. After your event, simply rinse and return — we handle collection and full cleaning.
When to Use Service Spoons
Service spoons are the workhorse of any catering setup. They are essential for:
- Buffet stations — place one service spoon per dish so guests can serve themselves easily and hygienically.
- Family-style dining — shared platters at the table need proper serving utensils for a polished experience.
- Plated service — kitchen and front-of-house staff use service spoons to portion vegetables, rice, sauces and sides.
- Wedding breakfasts — pair with serving forks and oval bowls for an elegant, coordinated service.
Because the Buckingham pattern matches across our full cutlery range, you can hire service spoons alongside dinner forks, dinner knives and dessert spoons for a consistent, professional table setting from starter through to dessert.

We deliver service spoons packed and counted in secure boxes to venues across every London borough. Combine with our cutlery hire, plate hire and glassware hire for a complete event setup from a single supplier. Call us on 07359 034252 or request a quote online to get started.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the oval steak plate?
Our service spoons are Buckingham pattern stainless steel — a classic catering-standard design with a traditional beaded edge. Each spoon is a generous serving size, perfect for portioning mains, sides and buffet dishes.
How many oval steak plates do I need?
Allow 1 service spoon per dish on your buffet table. For large events with multiple serving stations, double up so each station has its own set. We recommend 1–2 spoons per dish as a guide.
Do the oval steak plates match your other tableware?
Yes. Our service spoons are part of the Buckingham range — the same pattern as our dinner forks, dinner knives and dessert spoons. Hiring from the same range gives your table setting a consistent, professional look.
What happens if a plate breaks?
A small replacement fee applies per lost or damaged spoon. The fee covers replacement cost only. We understand items can go missing at busy events and keep the charge fair.
