You can browse Lobster at Bentons for your food service and the utensils used to lift each portion. You will find the collection within [Artis Cutlery](https://www.bgbenton.co.uk/brands/artis/artis-cutlery/), alongside the related ranges in that part of the catalogue. Your guests use each piece as part of a meal or drinks service, with the shape and size affecting its place on the table.



## Lobster in the collection



The catalogue includes **Artis Cutlery Lobster Forks Seafood Utensils 180 mm (Pack of 6)** alongside **Steelite International Cutlery Varick Estate 18/0 Oyster Forks 13.5 cm (Pack of 12)**.



## Tines and course sizes



Your guest uses the working end of a fork to hold or lift food, with the handle extending back from the tines. A small course fork has different proportions from a table fork even where the handle pattern matches. The number and shape of the tines belong to the individual utensil. A fork named for a particular food has a distinct role within the wider setting, rather than being a shorter version of every other fork.



You can use a serving fork at the shared dish while each guest has a separate fork beside their own plate. The serving piece stays with the food between portions. At the place setting, the handle finish connects the fork with other pieces in the same pattern. Its working end may still differ between courses, especially when a small dessert or a shellfish dish uses a utensil of another shape.



## Sizes and formats in Lobster



Product titles in this selection include 180 mm and 13.5 cm measurements, with the stated dimensions attached to their individual items. You see those dimensions in the context of each product name, which distinguishes the size of one format from another within the collection. The catalogue examples include packs of 6 and 12, so the unit count differs between some of the named items. You can keep the same named item across several place settings or use separate formats for the different parts of a meal.



## Forks and picks through service



Your chef may present food as a small tasting portion or as a main course, with different amounts of food at the plate. Forks within those services have different lengths and working ends. The stated length describes the full item, rather than the length of the tines alone. A matching collection name identifies the cutlery pattern, but it does not make the contents of a serving pack the same as a pack of individual table forks.



## Related collections



You can browse [Plates](https://www.bgbenton.co.uk/crockery/plates/) for the food served with your table cutlery. The plate's rim forms a border around the portion, while the handles sit outside it as part of each guest's place setting.



Your soup or dessert service may use [Bowls](https://www.bgbenton.co.uk/crockery/bowls/) with the course cutlery. A bowl keeps food within its sides, and the guest uses an individual utensil while any shared serving piece remains at the centre of the table.



Your own service gives these pieces their place on the table. Staff handle the shared items between portions, while guests keep the pieces for their own food or drink at each setting. The named formats in Lobster separate those roles within the catalogue, with the product title identifying the item used for each part of service.
