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.
Very pleased with the pans. They are easy to use and clean.
Product purchased and arrived on time but not used it yet.
Good service great product
Very smooth overall - swift delivery and well packaged. Pans look beautiful - I look forward to using them.
I have been searching for a good quality frying pan to replace my very old one and Samuel Groves came up trumps. Delivery was bang on time and the new pan turned out to be better than expected. In addition the deal breaker and big bonus for me is that is has been made in the UK rather than sourced from half way round the globe!
Lovely pans. Looking forward to using them. don't think I'll ever need any others. Carefully packaged, and delivered. Almost don't want to use them they look so good.
Steel frying pan arrived very quickly. Cooks eggs and bacon without burning, does not stick.
Ordering was easy, and delivered just a couple of days later. It was well packed and in perfect condition. Cannot fault their service.
Good quality pans.
Egg stuck straight away. Thought the pan was ready to use. Fried an egg which stuck straight away and had to be scraped off. I need to re-coat it that’s if it was coated in the first place. There were no instructions with the pan. It was wrapped in brown paper in a cardboard box
The saucepans were a house warming present for my son. Ordering them was easy and the company kept me informed on delivery. It was a very positive purchase
I have had a set of mermaid tins for years, I can't remember how long but must be about 15 to 20 years. Unfortunately my husband kept putting the smallest one in the dishwasher which ruined it and so I purchased two as replacements. My other two larger originals are still going strong and I expect will outlive me and be passed on.
Excellent product
Firstly and most importantly the Samuel Groves products are of the highest quality. I have a growing collection of their indoor and outdoor cookware and I love all of it. Secondly the service I've received has been first class. From ordering to delivery it has been faultless...bravo SG!
I started with one of the chef's pans and having used it a few times added a smaller one, they are now my 'go-to' pans for a lot of dishes. The quality is outstanding and the balance is spot one, they are easy to clean and if you get a bit of discolouration on the stainless steel a quick clean with Barkeeper's Friend brings them back like new. I've since added the non-stick frying pan and will be adding more to the collection, it's a shame I just missed out on the 35% discount on the double burner cast iron griddle as I was away. In conclusion, top notch pans with fantastic customer service, what more could you ask for.
Everything I was hoping for, well made, solid, good to look at, very well designed and made in England.
Bought 2 baking trays, to replace similar item we have had for some time. We got what we expected. Delivery in good time. Packaging excessive, a huge box for 2 small trays.
High Qality products, well worth the money
Lovely and beautifully made pot.
