The likes of Dulux and Crown suggest that their matt paints are not
suitable for kitchen ceilings, yet I believe a matt finish is best.

Why do you believe that?

Am I correct that other surface finishes, ie eggshell etc have a slight
sheen to them?

Yes. Although some are almost matt. Paints formulated for kitchens have
to stand up to steam, condensation, organic vapours and fats. Matt
finishes aren't very good in that environment and harder to clean.
