Dinner Sets

When it’s time to upgrade or add to your tableware, explore our trusted dinner sets. They come conveniently boxed and contain up to 16 pieces. You can choose side plates and dinner plates if you’re running low, or go for a full collection that contains two plate sizes along with two styles of bowls. 

For versatility, you can’t beat a white dinner set. It matches all kinds of decor and the pieces can be easily integrated with your existing crockery. Our Maxim dishes are sleek and modern – you can trust them to look fresh, even with daily use, thanks to our StayNew™ finish. In busy households, dishwasher-safe crockery that’s also microwaveable is a must. If you like to warm your plates before serving, look for an oven-safe set. 

To add a splash of interest to your table, pick coloured bowls and plates. Grey sets are understated and modern, while blue dishes with striking patterns are a decorative addition. Look out for dinnerware with the signature blue glaze of renowned brand Denby. It comes in shades from midnight to aqua and features characterful speckles and graduated tones. 

The feel of your dishware will depend on the material it’s made from. Sturdy earthenware or stoneware sets give a sense of substance, while porcelain tableware is renowned for being lightweight and refined. Fine china crockery from Spode comes with bold floral, botanical or animal-print patterns, making it the perfect centrepiece for a stunning table setting.

Dinner Sets FAQs

How should I set my table for dinner?

Depending on whether you are hosting a Sunday roast, a dinner party or an intimate family meal, there are various ways to set your table. Lay out your cutlery in the order of use and place the plates in the centre. Add the glasses, which could include tumblers for water and wine glasses. Finally, pop a bunch of flowers or some pretty candles in the middle to add a decorative finish.

What cutlery do I need on my dining table?

The cutlery you need on your dining table depends on what you are planning to eat. Are you hosting a three-course meal or having a more casual dinner? The most important thing to remember is to lay the cutlery in the order of use. It is traditional to have forks on the left and knives on the right, with a spoon next to the knife. Don’t forget to ensure the cutting edge of the knives face inwards.

What should I put on my dining table?

Apart from laying out your crockery, cutlery and glasses, be sure to bring in other features to create a decorative display. You can start with a tablecloth – we have printed styles for a statement look and understated designs to offer a minimalist aesthetic. It can be a good idea to pop bottles of red and white wine in the centre, as well as a big jug of iced water. Add candles, flowers or plants to pull everything together.
