Every year, the UK uses billions of pieces of single-use plastic cutlery. Most of it ends up in landfill — or worse, in our oceans — where it can persist for hundreds of years. A plastic fork used for 10 minutes can remain in the environment for 400 years.
The solution isn't complicated. It's wooden.
Why Wooden Cutlery?
Biodegradable
Our wooden cutlery is made from sustainably sourced birch wood — a fast-growing tree that can be harvested responsibly. After use, wooden cutlery biodegrades naturally within months in a compost environment, compared to centuries for plastic.
No Microplastics
Plastic cutlery sheds microplastics — tiny fragments that contaminate food, water, and ultimately our bodies. Wooden cutlery has no such risk. It's an inert, natural material that doesn't leach chemicals into food or drinks.
Stronger Than You'd Think
Our wooden cutlery is made from compressed, kiln-dried birch — it's genuinely strong and doesn't splinter or flex under normal use. It handles hot foods, salads, desserts, and main courses with ease.
Better Experience
Honestly? Wooden cutlery just feels nicer than plastic. There's something about the weight and texture that makes a meal feel more considered, more intentional. Your guests notice the difference.
Perfect For
• Garden parties and barbecues
• Children's birthday parties
• Corporate events and catering
• Food stalls and pop-up restaurants
• Picnics and outdoor events
• Any event where you'd otherwise use plastic
Our 150-Piece Set
Our wooden cutlery set contains 50 spoons, 50 forks, and 50 knives — enough for a party of 50 people with one piece each, or a smaller gathering where people might want seconds. The pieces are individually smooth-finished and packaged together for easy storage and transport.
The Bigger Picture
Switching to wooden cutlery for your events is a small change with a meaningful impact. It's the kind of decision that aligns your values with your actions — and sends a message to your guests that you care about the world you're handing to the next generation.
And unlike many 'sustainable' alternatives, wooden cutlery doesn't cost dramatically more. The difference in price is minimal. The difference in impact is significant.
