Über Samuel Groves
Vom Unternehmen geschrieben
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.

Hi there!

We truly appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our communication and consideration moving forward. Please reach out to us directly so we can do our best to make things right. Could you please reach out to our sales team directly at sales@samuelgroves.com with your order details?

Hi Joy,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
I sincerely apologise that your Christmas gift order from November still hasn't reached you - I completely understand how frustrating this must be, especially since it was meant to be a special present.
This is absolutely not the level of service we strive for, and we want to make this right for you immediately. Could you please reach out to our sales team at sales@samuelgroves.com with your order number?
Although our website does state to, please allow up to 58 working days for your order to be manufactured, dispatched and delivered. If the items included in your order are in stock, we will get your order dispatched the same day, providing your order is processed before 1pm GMT.
We'll prioritise tracking down exactly what happened with your shipment and either expedite a replacement or provide you with a full refund - whichever you prefer.

Thank you for your patience.

Great quality. Exemplary delivery.
Ordered a Mermaid roasting pan on Monday afternoon and it arrived on Wednesday morning. The order confirmation said it might take 56 days, but clearly that was wrong.
The quality of their products is absolutely superb. Their stainless steel pans are the best we have ever owned in over 40 years of marriage.
Highly recommended.

Absurd inability to answer very simple questions
Please entertain yourselves by reading the following shortened(!) version of my horribly confusing e-mail correspondence with their company. For the short version, scroll to the end - but you will be missing out!
On their product page for an out-of-stock pan it says to email for inquiries regarding shipping outside of the UK. So I did, with some additional questions.
In the following dialogue, I have shortened my emails for your convenience (theirs are literal). I was in fact miles more polite than this.
Me: "1. When is this pan back in stock? 2. How much does it cost to ship to country X? 3. Why exactly is it not recommended to wash this pan in the dishwasher? If I would know the specifics it would make things easier for me."
SG: "Thank you for contacting us , now I would be looking at 4-5 months as the machine that makes these, we are having a few issues with .
I could get you a shipping cost , if you would send me your full address please . The dishwasher isn’t something we advise for our products as it takes the pan for life away ."
Me: "Thanks. My adress is Y. I'd appreciate if you could be specific about what exactly the dishwasher does that damages the pan (does it have to do with rivets, heat, ...?)"
SG: "No, it’s the chemical from the dish washer , always advise customer to use a low heat . We don’t have problems with our pans , if you can tell if it’s just the I pan ?"
^English isn't my native language either, but I really didn't understand the last sentence here. I wasn't sure if they were being rude or not, so to do away with language barriers, I tried again but in French (as the persons name sounded French).
Me: *Asks same questions as in first email but in French, specifying the adress AGAIN except postal code (supplied in my last email and also easy to find online)*
SG: *Ignores all other questions and replies in english again* "Would you send me your full address please and I will get your shipping cost ."
Me: *Sends the address for the third time*
SG: "I have a delay on this item for 4-5 months , let me know if your happy to wait ."
^At this point I feel like I'm going crazy.
Me: "I don’t want to place an order yet. I would just like to know how much it would cost to ship. Are you saying it will be back in stock in 4-5 months regardless, or only if I place an order?
Could we start over please:
*lists questions again - including 3 new ones about measurements & materials - in very clear but polite format, as well as the link to the product page again to make sure it is clear which pan I am talking about* "
SG: "Please see below *sends the exact same product page link I sent them*. This depends on which one you like . Also, our pans are made to order, and I would advise you to put in dish washer . This would void the pan for life ."
^If their pans are made to order, why is it possible to add other sizes of the same pan to the shopping basket in their online shop?
^And... "This depends on which one you like"? What? I had sent them the exact product page, uniquely identifying size and color.
Me: "The link you sent me is the exact same as I sent you to specify which one I want. None of the info I asked for is listed on the link. That’s why I e-mailed for answers. Can I speak to somebody else please? "
SG: "Please see below and you can buy direct off this company . *links to a swedish website that has SG products but not the product I wanted* I can’t send items as this is our customer , and this is in your county ."
Me: "Thank you for the link, but they don't have the size I am looking for. Perhaps it differs depending on from which country you access their webshop."
And this was the end of the conversation. 6 emails sent from my side, 12 emails in the conversation in total, and only 2/6 simple questions answered. Out of those 2/6 answers, one was misleading and the other added more confusion.
Regarding dishwashing, I actually got the real answer from a retailer later on - the rims aren't sealed so the aluminium is exposed. That's how you answer a question. I don't mind unsealed rims. But SG should just say it from the start instead of dodging the question. If they find it embarrassing, then seal the rims so you won't need to hide facts about your pan.
-
Short version:
A. I asked for shipping costs and gave my adress 3 times - never got to know the cost.
B. I asked when they restock - they implied but didn't confirm that it's made to order.
C. I asked for 2 common measurements and a confirmation on materials, got no answer.
D. I asked about details on dishwasher-compability, they didn't disclose the real reason.
-
SG-ANSWER: I sent your words verbatim to Sundqvist, and they did not feel obliged to arrange the purchase. May I speak to the person below directly, please? This really isn't helping...
NR2: The whole conv above IS with sales@. As you see, the rep didn't let me through to anyone else despite me requesting it.
NR3: Any updates?

EDIT: DISHWASHER QUERY
Why are stainless steel tri-ply pans not dishwasher safe?
Our Triply products are compatible with a dishwasher, but their use is strongly discouraged. This would VOID your 'Pan for life' scheme if you needed a refurbishment.
The detergents used in dishwashers are sometimes, too abrasive. They tend to damage the aluminium located between the 2 layers of stainless steel. Cleaning multiple times in a dishwasher could damage your saucepan and lead to corrosion of aluminium layer which could eventually lower the performance of your saucepan.
This is not a fault in manufacture or design but the use of aggressive products in dishwashers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi there,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us – we really appreciate it.
I completely understand your interest in purchasing from our website, and I'm sorry for any confusion this may have caused. As we have an official distributor in Sweden, we're unfortunately unable to process direct orders to Swedish addresses.
I'd love to point you in the right direction though! Please visit our Swedish distributor at https://www.sundqvist.se/Default.aspx?AreaID=3 – they should be able to help you with the product you're looking for. If by any chance they don't currently stock what you need, please let them know and they'll get in touch with us directly to arrange it for you.
I'm really sorry for any inconvenience this has caused, and I hope you'll still be able to get your hands on the product you want through our trusted partner.
All the best,
Samuel Groves
Just to echo what many others have…
Just to echo what many others have said, the extremely delayed delivery time and lack of communication (unless I initiate it) makes for a very frustrating experience with this company. I ordered on the 13/12/25 and after emailing them yet again, the latest update is that I might get the product by mid March! Interestingly, they didn't actually state which March it might be, so it could be 2027 at this rate! Our expectations of delivery times have been affected by the likes of Amazon offering next day etc, but to head towards at least 3 months is stretching things beyond acceptable. So, in summary a company that undoubtedly offers great products, but don't hold your breath waiting to actually use them.

Hi Adrian,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologise for the delay and for the lack of proactive communication.
A wait of this length is understandably frustrating, and while we’re pleased you value the quality of our products, we completely accept the delivery timeline and uncertainty in this case and we understand why you feel disappointed.
Having said that, as noted on our website, made-to-order items typically take up to 58 working days to be manufactured, dispatched, and delivered. (For context, items we have in stock ship same-day when orders are placed before 1pm GMT – but your special piece is being crafted just for you!)
We truly appreciate your kind words about our products, and we want to make sure you can actually enjoy yours. Please contact sales at sales@samuelgroves.com with your order number if you have any more queries about your order.
Best regards,

Quality pans
Easy to order. Order was well packed and delivered quickly. The saucepans are excellent in use with good even heat well distributed. Only slight downside is they do not pour easily.

Hi David,
Thank you for your feedback. I am delighted that you are happy with your product and our services.
In view of the matter of not pouring easily, if the saucepan as a lid then a spout creates a gap. Without a spout, the lid fits flush against the rim, which is essential for steaming, simmering, and moisture retention..
