Our Story

In 1996 Charlotte Marshall, launched The Big Kitchen as a specialist kitchen, cookware and bakeware shop. Her passion for cooking and entertaining led to her interest in putting some of the world's greatest quality kitchenware in one place.

Our aim... to make it easy to find some of the world's most innovative and stunning kitchen and tableware in one place.

The Big Kitchen stocks simple, stunningly designed high quality kitchen and tableware products that will stand the test of time and we make it affordable.

Our mantra - quality kitchenware at affordable prices.

We operate from a huge warehouse and from a shop based on the high street in Portishead, Bristol.

Over the past few years our name has become synonymous with quality kitchenware, a reputation we believe we have earned from the standards we set when selecting our suppliers and from the customer service we provide.

OUR PRODUCT RANGE

The Company has an over-riding commitment to supplying great quality kitchenware at great prices, whether it is sourced from such household brand names like Cornishware, Kilner, Le Parfait, Dartington Crystal, Victor or Apilco or from our smaller artisan suppliers like Poppy Treffry who make their products in traditional ways from high quality sustainable materials.

We look to source as much as we can from UK manufacturers.

Each supplier has earned respect for quality, reliability, style and value for money. This in turn allows us to provide you with quality long lasting kitchenware which you will enjoy using.
