Product Information

In fine dining restaurants, you are not likely to see table forks being used, and instead, there will be specialist forks for different types of food. Toasting Fork A pastry fork is made for, you guess it, eating pastry. These forks have three or four tines, with the left-hand tine being larger and flattened with a beveled edge, which allows it to double up as a sort of knife for slicing the pastry into smaller, mouth-sized portions. Serving forks are larger than dinner forks and are usually sold in a pair with a matching serving spoon. These two items are typically used together to dish out a big plate of food that will sit in the center of the table, such as a side salad or a large bowl of pasta. In fine dining, a dinner fork would never be used at a lunch sitting, because the size would simply look enormous when positioned alongside a lunch plate. A lunch fork will typically measure around six inches in length. Deli Fork A carving fork is designed specifically with the sole purpose of holding a joint of meat in position with one hand while you use a knife to carve it with the other hand. Some people may only see this type of fork when they visit a restaurant, but in some parts of the world, such as England, this is a commonly owned fork that is used on a weekly basis on Sundays when many people have a roast dinner.

Dinner forks are those that are used for eating the main course of your meal, such as meat dishes. They have four tines and a wide, well-balanced shape. While some people may assume that a dinner fork and a table fork are the same thing, there is actually a slight size difference. These are most commonly seen in stores along coastlines where seafood is popularly eaten, such as New England in the US, and the Norfolk coast in the UK. These types of forks are usually inexpensive, and they can make eating shellfish a much easier and less messy experience, so they’re a good investment if you’re a fan of eating this type of food. Fondue Fork A lunch fork is much like a dinner fork but smaller. It is a versatile fork that can be used to eat many different types of food, but the size is smaller simply so that it looks proportionate to the smaller size of a lunch plate compared with a dinner plate. If you’ve ever felt flustered and confused by the different forks offered in a restaurant and struggled to decide that one to use, or if you want to learn about types of forks to impress your dinner guests, then this guide is exactly what you’ve been looking for. Dessert Fork

This fork has an elegant and attractive look and will elevate the feel of any dinner party. This seafood fork is the only fork that should ever be positioned at the right side of a place setting to adhere to formal dining rules. A chip fork is a common type of single-use eating utensil that is widespread in the UK, which is famed for its fish and chip shops, also colloquially known as ‘chippies.’ These takeaway restaurants provide chip forks to their clients so that they can eat their food on the go.

This type of fork is shorter than both a table fork and a fruit fork, with a slightly slimmer head. It has three tines and is commonly seen in place settings at fine restaurants above where the plate is positioned. This type of fork is designed for use with desserts such as pies, tarts, cakes, and other sweet dishes. This means that a salad fork’s proper place can vary depending on at what point in the meal you will be serving salad. If the salad comes as an appetizer, then this fork should be furthest left, whereas if your salad comes after the main meal, then it should be placed to the right of the dinner fork. Fruit Fork Toasting forks are used for holding food over an open flame. They most commonly have two tines, but some types will have three. The tines will be sharp so that the food will be speared and help securely over the flame, to prevent it from falling off into the fire and being wasted. Though most people will use a spoon to eat ice cream, an ice cream fork might be used with this dessert in very fancy restaurants. This type of fork has a wide, shallow, rounded shape similar to a soup spoon, but has segments cut out to create a central tine, giving it the look of a fork.

Site Customisation

Dinner forks are larger than table forks, and these will most often be found in fine dining restaurants. They are the largest of all the commonly used forks, generally measuring seven inches in length. Salad Fork A table fork is an all-purpose fork that most people will have in their home, which is used in a wide variety of settings. Table forks are commonly found in dinnerware sets as the standard fork that most people will use for main courses, as well as eating other dishes like salads and fish. Be careful not to confuse the two, because a plastic fork would almost certainly melt if used with a traditional fondue. You can also use a fondue fork for spearing fruit to dip into a melted chocolate fondue. Or alternatively, a fruit fork would also work well for this. Disposable forks are also a common feature of children’s birthday parties, as they are inexpensive and can be thrown out after use that saves on having to wash up. Spork
