Ritchies began life in 1972 as Ritchie Bates Pottery manufacturers by John Ritchie after a successful career with Stoke City and Sheffield Wednesday. During the late 70’s the manufacturer changed to a wholesaler of seconds Hotelware, primarily with Steelite and latterly with Churchill China.

In the Early 2000’s the company diversified into other products, from Chefs Equipment, serving ware and finally to capital equipment and kitchen and Bar design. Since that time, we have worked with some of the largest groups in the country and are proud to have designed, supplied and installed many major schemes throughout the UK.

Still family owned, we have the ability to work on the largest schemes while holding true to the core values that only a family owned company can provide in today challenging business conditions.

Kitchen design

How do you take an empty shell and turn it into the cornerstone of your business by providing a state of the art, workable and compliant kitchen area? We are experts at providing a solution for your kitchen.  We begin with a discussion of your needs, of your food offer and indeed area allowed for storage, preparation and cooking. Our drawings reveal how your kitchen area will work in 2 and 3 Dimensions. We can advise you on extraction, legal requirements and of course, power saving options so that you can be confident that not only will your kitchen operate safely and effectively today but tomorrow and every day in the future. We work with your builders and other trades so that you have complete confidence that the design on paper reflects the area in real life.

Bar Design

You have an idea of what you want your bar to be, how it looks, how it feels, now how do you take that idea from your head and bring it life? We study the latest trends that are here today and indeed that will be here tomorrow. State of the art 3D design brings you idea to life, you can look at it from every angle. Don’t imagine how the cocktail section will work, see it long before a single piece of it has been built. Design of refrigeration that can hold more bottles in a smaller space, cocktails section that means productivity can be maximised by less people and finishes that make people will be talking about where they go.
