Caddies and cutlery holders

Choosing the right cutlery holder

A cutlery holder is a useful tool for any shop, bar, or restaurant because it’s perfect for keeping small items organised and both the bar and countertop tidy. Caddies can be filled with cutlery, condiments, and food items. Most are food‑safe but, if they aren’t, they can still be easily lined with wax paper to hold small food items such as breadsticks. Our selection includes commercial cutlery holders made from galvanised steel, metal, or mango wood, available with or without compartments. Some are suitable for use both indoors and outdoors. Contact us today for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your cutlery holders food safe?

It depends on the material. Some of our metal caddies are food-safe and suitable for direct serving, while others may require a liner, like wax paper. Our mango wood caddies are intended for cutlery, napkins, condiments, and other packaged items, as they are wipe-clean and not suitable for direct food contact. Please check the individual product listing for specific safety information before purchasing.

Can your restaurant cutlery holders be used outdoors?

Yes, but durability depends on the material. Our galvanised metal caddies are hard-wearing and suitable for use both indoors and outdoors, making them a practical choice for al fresco dining. Our mango wood caddies are intended for indoor use. While they can certainly be used for outdoor service, we recommend bringing them inside after use and keeping them away from wet or damp conditions to preserve the wood finish.

How do I clean and maintain a mango wood cutlery caddy?

A simple wipe with a damp cloth is enough for day-to-day cleaning. To preserve the wood so it retains its vibrant smoked finish, we recommend applying our antibacterial food-safe oil, which we stock alongside the caddies. Using it regularly will help prevent the wood from drying out and significantly extend the life of the product.

Are WBC's commercial cutlery holders available in bulk for multiple tables?

We don't offer online bulk discounts on cutlery holders because our caddies are already priced to provide great value whether you purchase them by the unit or in packs of two. However, if you are working to a specific table count or budget, our team is happy to help you find the most cost-effective option.

Can caddies be used to display items other than cutlery?

Absolutely. Our range is versatile and works well for condiments and sauces (whether sachets or bottles) as well as napkins or menus. Some of our larger caddies are roomy enough to hold wine bottles or small retail products. They’re as practical as they are stylish, making them the perfect addition to a bar counter or a dining table.

Are WBC's wooden cutlery caddies dishwasher safe?

No. Our mango wood caddies are wipe-clean only. You should avoid soaking the wood or placing them in the dishwasher, as high heat and moisture will damage the natural finish. To keep them in top condition, a wipe with a damp cloth for everyday cleaning is all that’s required.
