Not technically: the compound subject uses the plural verb are.
"There are a spoon and a fork on the plate."
But colloquially this construction, while erroneous, is very common. It could also be grammatically correct if the spoon is not on the plate (set off by a comma).
"There is a spoon, and a fork on the plate." (and there is a fork on the plate)
