Founded in 1955 by silversmith designer, Robert Welch, Robert Welch Designs has since been the standard-bearer for award winning stainless-steel cutlery, barware and holloware within the international hospitality industry.
The quintessentially British brand is run today by Robert’s son and daughter, Rupert and Alice and specialises in producing timeless products in high quality 18/10 stainless steel, that can be found on land, sea and air; always at the heart of the dining experience.
As Robert Welch Designs prepares to celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2025, we continue to design and produce products that will elevate the dining experience for all your guests, from casual to fine-dining and in-room dining to banqueting.

We have a simple pricing structure which is straightforward and competitive, making it easy to select products that align with your budget requirements.
