Mealtimes should be something to look forward to, not a source of stress or frustration. For anyone living with arthritis, tremors, reduced grip strength or weakness on one side, the right tableware makes a real difference to independence and confidence at the table. Browse our full range of kitchen aids for cutlery, openers and other mealtime support.
Our beakers and cups have easy-grip handles, lightweight designs and secure lids. Two-handled models give extra stability for anyone with tremors or limited strength in one hand, and non-drip spouts make sipping more controlled than lifting a standard cup.
For plates, the ServSafe plate surround clips onto most standard plates rather than replacing them. As Natasha, our occupational therapist, explains: "A quick and simple snap-on edge can stop food escaping off the sides and hold food still while you've loaded your fork, without the need to use a second hand. Great if you have a weakness or paralysis to one side, and easy to take with you to use discreetly in a restaurant or friend's house."
If changing cups feels like too much, the Steady Cup Holder adds a second handle to your existing mug. Will Harrison covers a range of practical mealtime aids in his article on making mealtimes easier if you want a broader overview. Use alongside our adapted cutlery, bottle, tin and jar openers and other kitchen aids.
A plate guard clips onto the edge of a standard plate to create a raised wall that stops food sliding off as you try to load a fork or spoon. It is most useful for anyone who has weakness or limited function on one side, as it allows one-handed eating without food escaping across the plate. The ServSafe fits most standard plates and is discreet enough to use away from home. If you prefer a dedicated solution, the Dignity Bowl and Plate Combo has the raised edge built in, along with a suction base that keeps it firmly in place on the table.
