OP states kettle, toaster & microwave. Do the maths dave..
not saying you would do it but as its a general forum i think it should be clear 20A is not suitable for a new kitchen.

OK,
Modern kettle 2400W
2 slice toaster between 800W and 1400W
Microwave between 700W and 1000W

Taking the higher ratings gives 4.8kW which is bang on 20A
If you adjust for 230V it'll probably come out around 18/19A

But then that's completely ignoring diversity and the fact that someone would need 3 pairs of hands to operate them all at the same time.

Actually not inconceivable all of them items will be operated at once. Mine are quite often at home.

However, you're right it's still within 20amp and how longs a kettle take to boil? 30 sec if that.
 
Set our minds at rest .
Do you have a separate laundry room , or are the Dishwasher ,washing machine ,and tumble drier? All sitting in a spacious kitchen.
