I only want to buy a tablespoon!

I got mine (3) in charity shops!

I shall be watching this thread because I said to DH that we could do with a few more everyday ones too. Never thought about charity shops!

There are some on Amazon but I'm not sure the sizes are 'real tablespoon' size.

You can buy singles of most ranges of cutlery on line. I have a set designed by Lawrence L Bowen and have bought bits and pieces to add to my basic set.

I had the same problem, Craftycat. They don't seem to make them any more.
In the end I got some serving spoons from Lakeland. They're slightly bigger than a tablespoon, but do the job well.

I rang them to find out the measurements - can't remember exactly now. Slightly flatter than a tablespoon.
I got 4.

This one looks nice, although a bit pricey!

eBay, * Craftycat*? I got 2 from an antique fair (they had my initial on them, so I couldn't not buy them)! They were just a couple of quid, anyway.

In Lichfield Staffs there is a factory seconds shop for Arthur Wood Ware
My sister recently visited and bought several single cutlery items.
I expect this not your area but it is possible that there is a factory seconds shop near to you.
I have recently bought cutlery from Ikea. It was boxed but I think if you google Ikea they may sell individual cutlery items.
You could ask your local charity shops to let you know if the get any donated
They may even have odd ones lurking in the back of the shop

Good luck.

Have you seen these in Wilko? Described as serving spoons but might do?

John Lewis?

This any good? You can 'Click and Collect' from Waitrose if you're near to one.

Sorry, kitty, I see you'd already suggested JL!

They sometimes have a set of 2 in Sainsburys. That's where I got mine. I think you can get them in Dunelm as well.

Antique and second hand shops often have odd items of cutlery.

There are plenty on Ebay if you search under either table spoon or serving spoon. Check the measurements as some look more like dessert spoons.

I got mine on Ebay. I have only one teaspoon which I consider a real teaspoon size and I guard it carefully as I measure my coffee with it! It's quite old and EPNS. I'm always on the look out for more. Charity shops often have a basket of cutlery for about 30pence per item.

Wilkos?
Do they sell loose cutlery in their shops?

Our local John Lewis sells individual items of cutlery; I've certainly bought extra teaspoons there.

Interesting thread, I have been having the same problem. Good old Woolworths used to be the place. Now I can only find complete sets. Great idea to try charity shops, and will look into the other suggestions.

I got some in Robert Dyas a year or two ago

Loads in the charity shop I work in , really nice old ones too . What`s the problem ?

A tablespoon measure is 15ml.

HootyMcOwlface. I think "serving spoons" do not claim to be a regulated volume. If you need to use it as a measuring device you do need it to be accurate.

Slightly off thread - does anyone else have Christmas cracker plastic measuring spoons in their kitchen drawer? Surprisingly useful except when the teaspoon is too big to go into the spice jars!
Tiny Christmas cracker screwdrivers are also useful in an emergency! An emergency like finding a new toy needs batteries!

craftycat if you are near Wallingford, Pettits sell them or try wilkos
