We had a few friends round for dinner last night, and I set the table as I usually do; this prompted some discussion of where the pudding utensils should have been arranged...
Hrm. A lot of the time I go for tasting menus, so they could theoretically put all the cutlery out. If they had very big tables. Never seen it done though.
It would only make sense if it was a restaurant which only served one menu, so they could lay the tables in advance.
At the monarchist feast, the places were laid for ten or eleven courses. It did mean that the place-settings had to be quite far apart. (We also started with a bewildering forest of wine glasses each.)
