Red, Green and Gold Heavyweight Plastic Cutlery Set, 240 pc

Eighty forks, eighty knives and eighty spoons in red, green and gold — two hundred and forty pieces, which is the whole extended family plus whoever turns up on the day. One box covers dinner, dessert and the leftovers round, and none of it goes near the sink.

These are the heavyweight ones. Each piece is moulded from thick food-safe, BPA-free plastic in an opaque gloss, with a broad contoured handle that has real weight behind it, so a fork loaded with turkey and stuffing does not bow on the way up. Forks keep four sturdy tines; the knives carry a serrated cutting edge that will get through ham, roast potatoes and a slab of trifle without shredding the plate underneath. The three colours arrive mixed, so you can lay the table in one colour, alternate two, or run all three down the length of it.

Built for Christmas dinner, the office party, the church hall and the picnic table — anywhere the guest list runs long and the washing up would run longer. Leftover pieces keep in the box for the next occasion, and the red and gold carry well past December.

• Serves eighty: eighty of each piece, so eighty guests get a full place setting.
• Heavyweight plastic: thick contoured handles that hold a loaded plate without bending.
• Three colours mixed: red, green and gold in equal share, to set however you like.
• Serrated knives: a fine cutting edge that manages roast meat, not just soft food.
• Food-safe plastic: BPA-free, and steady against hot and cold food alike.
• Nothing to wash: single-use, so the day ends at the table and not at the sink.
