a table set

If I'm sitting at the table and don't have a knife and a fork can I say that I don't have "a table set"?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, Where I live, we'd call that 'a place setting' . That would include all the things that you usually have in front of you at the table when you sit down. Clive

If its only the knife and fork missing, I'd just say 'I don't have any cutlery'.

In the U.S., the most common would be "I don't have any silverware." (Even if it's "plastic silverware.")
