When you're running a food service business that offers takeaway or delivery options, you need to make sure your customers have the right utensils to enjoy their meal. However, using disposable cutlery isn't always the most cost-effective or environmentally friendly option. If you are searching for alternatives to disposable cutlery for your business, but the traditional stainless steel or silverware found in restaurants isn't practical, consider a reusable cutlery set instead.

In our selection of reusable cutlery, we have the Harfield 4R range. The pieces in this set are made from 100% renewable natural fibres and industry by-products, resulting in zero deforestation throughout the production process. This reusable cutlery set is dishwasher safe and can be used for either hot or cold foods. These items are also 100% recyclable.

The Harfield 4R  reusable cutlery set is perfect for eco-conscious operators who are looking for sustainable products. As well as its green credentials, the 4R range is also comfortable to use and robust, so your customers can still enjoy a pleasant dining experience.

As another option, you might want to consider our stainless steel reusable cutlery sets instead. Unlike the usual cutlery you might find in restaurants, the reusable stainless steel cutlery sets are more practical for establishments offering takeaway or home delivery services. For example, the Amefa stainless steel reusable cutlery set is made from quality 18/10 stainless steel but is lightweight and practical for on-the-go use. You can implement a return/deposit scheme to encourage people to return the cutlery so that your business can reuse it. This type of scheme and investment can be ideal for highlighting your commitment as an operator to move towards more sustainable practices.

In addition to Amefa, you can also find the Pinti Sola reusable stainless steel cutlery set. This consists of a knife, fork, spoon, and napkin. Your customers can reuse this cutlery at home or return to your business as part of a return scheme. This reusable cutlery set is strong, recyclable, lightweight, and dishwasher safe.

Reusable cutlery sets are a wonderful alternative to disposable cutlery, particularly if you are looking for more sustainable options and one that can reduce the need to re-order stock as frequently. The reusable cutlery sets available at Stephensons can offer either a more relaxed approach with the Harfield 4R range, or a more premium feel with our stainless steel options. They are suitable for use in a variety of settings, from cafés or canteens to street food vendors or for catering purposes in event venues.
