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 responsive and listens to the customer
Fantastic pans and amazing customer service Swapped my roaster for one with integral handles so it can fit my oven. Staff were so helpful
Samuel Groves is a reliable company we have bought several pans from them and all do the job perfectly. The Chef’s pan is great for everything from sautés, risotto, pasta sauces. Good quality and not outrageously expensive for tri-ply.
I have had 2 of these pans for years and they have lasted the test of time compared to others that I had. Not as cheap as others but when you buy quality you have to pay for it.
I bought a non stick pan after my very expensive Le Crusset pan lost it non stick after just a couple of years. These are British made and although expensive save you money in the long term as they don't need to be replace every few years....
Good quality will use again!!! :-)
These oven trays are really worth the money - made (in the UK) to last and delivered straight from the manufacturer
The mince pie tray I've bought is very well made, very good quality, joy to use and worth every penny. It arrived promptly and well packed. If I need more of kitchen tools, I will return to Samuel Groves.
Well packed. Delivered earlier than expected.
Bought a non stick frying pan due to the life time guarantee. Less than a year of use and the non-stick coating has gone. I expected it to be refurbished for free as it's a 'pan for life' but it would cost £42!!! A 'pan for a year' more like. I bought this on offer at £52, the refurbishment cost is over 80% of the purchase price. Apparently the retail price of this pan is over £150. DO NOT waste your money. You're better of buying mid-range pans and just replacing them every year or two.
You provided a discount for me to replace my SG pans with induction pans
Fantastic cookware and great experience. Thank you.
Love my new pans although I was concerned with the staining after the first use, however reading all the reviews it’s our hard water causing the problem. The tips to clean them are simple and work every time. So 100% happy.
Lovely Sauté pan , very pleased , quick dispatch no problems
Satisfied with their stainless steel. So ordered 2 non sticks. Disappointedly, found both with defect. Takes time to get response from CS to arrange return and refund.
Samuel Groves are excellent bits of cookware
Quick service, solidly built quality pan
Easy ordering and on receipt an excellent product made even better with a made in England badge reducing the carbon footprint. Thank you.
Fast delivery
