Silver service training online – The History

Of curse, many people really enjoy the sense of history and even grandeur that comes with Silver Service dining. Needless to say, in the right setting, it can really add style to an event or function. Interestingly, silver service waiting originates from the manors, country seats and fine houses of the British middle and upper classes of centuries gone by.

Referred to by the French as ‘English Service’ or ‘Service Anglais’ silver service actually describes the process of serving diners from a ‘silver’ service dish to the diners plate, rather than the more common practice of serving the plate to the diner. In fact, the silver service waiter or waitress must be well acquainted with the appropriate etiquette and technique.

What is Silver Service? Facts

Actually, Silver service is a method of food service that includes serving food at the table. Secondly, Silver service is a technique where the food is transferred of transferring food from a service dish to the guest’s plate from the left. Thirdly, Silver service is performed by a waiter by using service forks and spoons from the diner’s left.
