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.
I’m very disappointed by both the product and customer service. I bought a large stainless steel skillet and upon first use, since the bottom was too thin, it deformed from the heat. Now the bottom is concave and I cannot use it on my stove! I contacted customer service but they haven’t replied in over two week so I haven’t been able to return this useless pan. I would never buy from them again!
Good quality, and reasonable price when discount is provided
Great price in the sale. Fast delivery.
Wonderful saucepans.
Excellent product - made in UK & delivered quickly
Excellent quality pan, at a good price, and very quick delivery!
Fantastic quality and arrived as promised.
Great service, received in days, great product, great to buy British.
Have finally received my 30cm Carbon steel Paella Pan. Looking fwd to trying it out. Much heavier than expected and surface of pan is a little rough, but hoping this will smoothen out with time from developing patina. Customer Service is quite slow to respond. However, my main aim was to buy British made products. I sincerely hope it doesn't disappoint
I spent a long time choosing a frying pan for my family. Samuel Grove met all my expectations! Delivery is fast, the quality of the product is perfect.
Excellent product. Great service. What’s not to like?
Love Samuel Groves pans. Incredible quality, great packaging and slowly I'm building a collection!
I’m a little bit disappointed that you’ve sent me a “Mermaid “ product not a Samuel Groves one , but we haven’t tried the product yet but I’m sure it’s going to be as good as our original one .
Swift delivery. Well packed.
Superb pan - great quality.
Sauce pan makes porridge and soups smooth
I love the stainless steel pans and I only wish I could afford more!
Great quality pans. Last a lifetime
Wanted to exchange item. Found the whole process far more difficult than the purchase. Time it took far to long
