Global interest in British design and manufacturing has never been higher and Samuel Groves is building on this golden opportunity by continuing to invest in manufacturing equipment to produce the very best cook and bakeware at their manufacturing site in Birmingham.
Few suppliers of hospitality products go back as far as Samuel Groves. This venerable Birmingham-based manufacturer of kitchen equipment started in 1817. The big take-off into hospitality supply came during the Second World War when Samuel Groves won a major government contract to produce aluminium trays, with many other items for the Ministry of Works and the War Office being added soon after. This helped reinforce the foundations of the modern business, which gained a major boost from the introduction of the Mermaid brand at the beginning of the 1950s.
Samuel Groves encompasses all facets of manufacturing including Metal Cutting, Presswork, Metal Spinning, Welding, Fabrication and Injection Moulding. In addition, we are able to design and manufacture our own tooling in house.
Even though the market and indeed cooking practices have evolved over the years, Samuel Groves quality and processes have improved. We remain traditional manufacturers and every product we are proud to say is still hand-finished. We have been a manufacturer in Birmingham for close to 200 years, some of the skills that will be used in the factory today will have been used all throughout those 200 years.
Every range produced at our factory, we believe is the best you can buy, whether that’s our robust stainless steel 3-ply cookware, or timeless Mermaid anodised bakeware.
You added a gift, a nice surprise
Arrived on time, carefully packaged, look very good quality though not been used yet.
great build quality and design
Quality British made products! Threw out our cooking trays as the coating always peels off after about 6 months. Buying cheap is not a long term option.
This is the 4 th fry pan I have bought from Samuel Groves. Have not had the chance to use it very much yet. However, it is very well made, up to their usual high standard and I am absolutely sure it will give many years of service. Thank you
I bought a copper pan, I pad for it and it was delivered..beautiful pot
Huge delay in delivery with no explanation. A series of phone calls to the company never got beyond an answerphone. An email about the problem was never answered. Shockingly bad performance which company bosses should be made aware of as result is we are most unlikely to ever recommend what is otherwise an excellent product to anyone we know.
I bought a voucher for my son and daughter in law. Communication about dispatch etc very efficient. I got a small baking tray included which was a nice surprise
Third purchase of Samuel Groves products which are excellent quality and will outlast any other utensils and bakeware
Bought 25.5cm stainless steel 3-ply frying pan and it is simply amazing! Cooks quick, heat distributed evenly, food does not stick. Threw away my cheaper stainless steel alternative. There’s no way back!
Stainless steel frying pan and chefs pan are excellent. Very good even cooking and easy to clean.
Prompt and reliable delivery
Perfect thanks
Once again, thank you, SG. Prompt delivery in recyclable packing. Excellent quality product. Doesn't buckle in the heat and hand-washes easily. Bought our first one a few months ago and decided to purchase another. No regrets. Happy customer.
These pans are poor quality. Too Flimsy.
Lovely pans - solid & well made
This order is long overdue. I have e mailed sales about its non appearance and never received a reply. This is very poor customer service. I am unlikely to buy their products or recommend them even from a third party retailer.
I recently bought a carbon steel frying pan which is the best frying pan I have ever owned. It arrived promptly and well packaged. It was not cheap but is worth every penny and I expect it to last a lifetime.
Great Service, Great Shipping, Great Products. Buy British.
