I only want to buy a tablespoon!

John Lewis?

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

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.

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.

This one looks nice, although a bit pricey!

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.

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.

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

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!

I got mine (3) in charity shops!
