19 best cutlery sets to make meal times a luxurious affair and instantly upgrade your dining table
Owning the best cutlery set is one of life’s simplest pleasures. It’s also a sign that you have reached peak adulthood. Is there anything better than sitting down at your dining table to a delicious home cooked meal (or a spread from a meal delivery service – they’re just as good) and tucking in with a fine dinner set and flatware to boot? No, there’s not.
Alongside investing in some decent cookware, owning a lavish set of knives, forks and spoons is when you know you’ve made it in life. You’ve probably surpassed the stage of owning odd implements that don’t match and are now looking to evolve to a chic cutlery set that you can show off when it comes to hosting dinner parties and date nights. We’ve got you.

There’s a lot to be gained from upgrading your utensils – a top-rated cutlery set will help you cut up and consume your meals with ease, improving each and every bite and making your food feel restaurant-quality. Who wouldn’t want that? Table presentation is key if you want to Instagram the hell out of your big-night-in creations – and the implements you eat with are a major factor.
Instead of purchasing everything separately, investing in a larger cutlery set or bundle is a great money saver – plus you won’t feel like a student, not that there’s anything wrong in feeling youthful! It also means that every time you go to lay the table all your silverware will match which is *uber* satisfying. We’ve been on the hunt for the very best cutlery set that will not only make your dining experience all the more boujee, but that is super practical too.

Which is the best cutlery set?
In our opinion, the bigger the set the better. The last thing you want is to be cut short with not enough flatware when it’s your turn to host a luncheon or family reunion. If you can find a set that caters to eight people or more, then those are your safest bets. Even if you don’t have room at the table for that many people, it’s always good to have spares!
The Radford Cutlery Set from Robert Welch is perfect. With 56 pieces, enough for eight place settings, the stainless steel design features a mirror-polished effect and is ideally balanced for a comfortable feel in your hand.
What are the best cutlery brands?
Arthur Price, Robert Welch and Georg Jensen have all made names for themselves in the dinnerware industry. Looking at the quality of their sets, it’s no surprise. On the other end of the spectrum, more affordable brands such as Viners and John Lewis’ own designs are all great alternatives in terms of quality and design.
