The Aga and Spillers connection began when the family run business was founded in Taunton (Somerset's county town) by John Spiller in 1840. John's son, Henry James, was twice Taunton's mayor, and his grandson, Reginald George became the driving force that propelled the enterprise forward.
Originally proprietor of the family building company, Reginald or 'RG' as he was always known, was a man of vision and talent. RG admired the drive and tenacity of Gustav Dahlin. This blind man that invented the Aga in Sweden and was one of the select few entrepreneurs that became Aga dealers in 1932 - his name is inscribed on a commemorative teapot kept at the Aga factory to this day.
Without a son and heir however, the Spillers name has disappeared by marriage, leaving the Durie and RG's two great grandsons to continue the Aga tradition of excellence and service into the 21st Century, making Spillers one of the most well respected Aga dealers in the UK.
A small country town in the heart of the supposedly sleepy English West Country is an unlikely place to uncover a tantalising secret. Look beneath the Somerset stereotype of cider apples and scrumpy and there is a magnet that draws people from all over Southern England, that magnet being a 12,000 square metre showroom, brimming with Agas and and other quality kitchen appliances and bespoke kitchens.
The Aga Cooker Centre at Spillers is one of finest Aga cooker showrooms in the UK, and it is not hard to see why. Thousands of feet of interlinked kitchen roomsets displaying a variety of Aga cookers in their best possible light. Combine this with the years of Spillers experience with range cooking and a team of expertly trained Aga staff and it is not hard to see why Spillers is regarded as the premier range cooker destination.
Our visitor’s book overflows with compliments from people who not only become our future customers, but also our friends. They are amazed at what they find – a warm welcome, stunning Agas and range cooker room sets, hundreds of products, true value for money and a genuinely hassle free experience.
For nearly eight decades, the family business of Spillers has been selling, installing and servicing the legendary Aga Cooker and associated appliances. From humble beginnings in Somerset, the showrooms have gradually evolved into a unique kitchen destination, one that is now consistently hailed as the Aga Capital of Great Britain.
All Aga models are displayed in real working kitchens and there certainly are lots of them. A showroom refit in April 2008 added even more Agas, a stunning demonstration area and a much larger cookshop. New products are arriving all the time, the latest being two extremely impressive Aga refrigerators.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff are always on hand to offer help and advice, book cookery demonstration tickets or to arrange a Free Aga Home Survey. Rest assured, no staff at Spillers are pushy, visitors are welcome to come and browse at leisure and hopefully enjoy themselves. For any questions, sit down, have a cup of coffee, a freshly baked slice of Aga cake and discuss any queries you have with one of the many fully trained Aga sales team. From fuel types to sizes and from cooking to cleaning you can rest assure that any questions you have regarding an Aga will be answered.
