Cutlery Hire

Here at Options Greathire we have a tremendous range of tableware which of course includes a large collection of beautiful cutlery for you to hire. As well as being functional, the cutlery at your event has the potential to transform the overall look of your table scape. Choose from chic simple and contemporary styles to a more traditional and ornamental look. We stock a wide variety of styles and materials ranging from bold modern stainless steel designs to rustic wooden handled pieces to delicate mother of pearl vintage styles. All of our cutlery has been especially chosen to match our wonderful crockery collection so you will definitely find a winning combination of tableware for your next event.

All of our cutlery collections come in a complete set including starter, dinner and dessert sizes. Some of our ranges are even available in the form of a fish fork! For the cocktail canapes we have handy cocktail forks and for the tea and coffee lovers, we have an adorable stock of tea and coffee spoons. In addition to this, many of our collections come in various colour options including gold, silver, copper and black so that you can further customise the look to be able to complete your bespoke table scape.

To complement our extensive cutlery collections, we also offer service equipment and tools. Many of our ranges come in serving spoon and fork sizes so you can continue the look throughout the table and event. Other serving cutlery that we can provide include ladles and serving spoons, salad and pasta tongs, cheese and steak knives and many more! Options Greathire have everything you need to serve your guests with style and ease. We also offer a great range of canape serving products such as tasting bowls, canape spoons and glasses.

Like all of our tableware, our cutlery goes through a rigorous cleaning process to ensure that a high level of sanitisation is achieved. The cutlery is packaged in bags and crates, ready to be delivered to your venue. Unlike other hire companies, at Options Greathire, the charge for washing is always included in the price of hire so there’s no need for you to rinse or wash the tableware, just pop it back into the crate for us to collect when the event is over!

The cost of cutlery hire depends on several key factors, including the quantity required, the duration of the event, and the type or finish of the cutlery selected. For example, a small gathering may require a modest number of place settings, resulting in a very affordable hire rate, whereas a large-scale wedding or banquet involving hundreds of guests will naturally increase the overall cost.
At Options Greathire, our pricing remains transparent and competitive. We tailor each quote based on your event’s specifics, ensuring you receive precisely what you need without paying for unnecessary extras. Whether you're hiring for one evening or several days, we accommodate your schedule with pricing that reflects both volume and hire length. Our team will gladly guide you through the most cost-effective configuration for your occasion.

To ensure the best availability and the widest selection, we recommend booking your cutlery hire as early as possible—especially during busy periods such as spring and summer, or around major holidays. For weddings, gala dinners or large events, it’s ideal to confirm your requirements at least three to six months in advance.
For smaller or more informal gatherings, we can often accommodate bookings with shorter notice, but availability may be limited depending on stock levels and logistics. The earlier you book, the better positioned you are to secure your preferred cutlery style and quantities. Our team is always happy to discuss your timeline and help you plan ahead effectively.

For short-term events, we provide delivery and collection at times that suit your schedule, with everything cleaned and ready for service.

For longer-term hires, such as festivals, exhibitions or multi-day hospitality functions, we can arrange for interim support or additional deliveries if needed. Our flexible approach ensures that you receive the right service for the scale and complexity of your event.

No, you do not need to clean the cutlery after your event. At Options Greathire, we take care of all post-event cleaning. Simply return the used items in their original containers, and our team will handle the washing, sanitising, and polishing to prepare them for future events.
This service is included as part of your hire package, removing an extra burden from your post-event responsibilities. You can enjoy your event knowing that everything will be handled with professionalism and care once the celebration ends.
