Five-Course Table Setting

A Five-Course Table Setting comprises more utensils and tableware. This is because of the significant amount of food served in a five-course feast, which includes the main meal, salad, fish course, soup, and dessert. To set it up, you may have to follow the instructions on the formal table settings but with a slight deviation by adding champagne flutes behind your white wine glasses and sherry glass at the front of the red wine glasses. The fish fork and fish knives also take different positions. The former is placed between the diner and salad fork and the latter between the dinner knife and soup spoon.

The Five-Course Table Setting contains 15 pieces and has a typical overall width of 34.96” (88.8 cm) and depth of 18.31” (46.5 cm).

What are the basic rules for setting a table?

The basic rules for setting a table include placing the fork to the left of the meal plate, while the knife and spoon to the right of the plate. The water glass should be placed above the knife. Napkins can be placed under the fork or on the plate for an informal table setting.

Why are forks placed on the left?

Forks are typically placed on the left because historically the knife was used to transfer food to the mouth of the user and since the knife was already held by the right hand, the fork was placed on the left. The fork then was held by users with their left hand.

What are the three components of a place setting?

The three components of a place setting include dinnerware, flatware, and glassware. Dinnerware includes the plates, cups, bowls, saucers, and platters, while flatware consists of dinner, and steak knives, dinner forks, and tablespoons, and dessert spoons. Glassware includes water glasses and wine glasses that hold the beverages.
