In kitchen some fixed appliances and various sockets. If fixed
appliances off a 32A ring (e.g. 32A MCB) plus kettle etc., could get a
bit close to limits.


You can normally ignore things like kettles in domestic loading
estimates since they are such short term loads.

Is it permitted to have a higher powered ring for the kitchen, using
4mm cable ?


Not that I am aware of. You could of course have more than one if you
needed.
