Simplex Beehive Blenheim No. 3

tea time in style

We have only had the new teapot but a short time. It is lovely however, quite a classic. If I only fill as recommended it holds about four cups, I do wish it held a couple more. Great quality. Functional art !

So very pleased with my new kettle!

I purchased the Newey & Bloomer Simplex Beehive Blenheim No.3 (the chrome over copper version) as a gift for my wife. She’d had a Russell Hobbs electric kettle (made in the UK) that lasted for many years. After it went to “tea kettle Heaven”, she was going to purchase another but found that Russell Hobbs’ UK manufacturing was bought up by an international company and was no longer being manufactured in the UK. She researched kettles for over 6 months and found almost every kettle she’d liked was made in China. She ordered several Chinese made electric kettles and sent them all back! Absolute rubbish! After yet another exhaustive search into kettles NOT made in China, she came upon the name Newey & Bloomer and did some digging into the company and loved what she read about the company and it’s long history and reputation for quality made kettles. My wife got in touch with Newey & Bloomer Customer Relations and reached a lovely representative, Louise, who was helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. Louise directed my wife to some YouTube videos and answered all questions that were put to her. It is, in part, due to her excellent customer service that I wound up ordering this handmade, beautiful, well constructed kettle! It was made just for us and we got it earlier than the 6 week range we were given. It boils water quite quickly, pours like a dream to make the perfect cuppa and looks stunning on our stovetop! I cannot stress enough how lovely this kettle truly is. Hoping it will be the last kettle we own. With its quality and beauty, it will surely become a family heirloom that will be passed down.

Blenheim No.3

Outstanding kettle. Outstanding workmanship from a heritage brand. In this era of mass produced low quality products on the market, it is wonderful to have the opportunity to own a fine piece of kitchen equipment that will last, works well, and looks great.
