My first post so please be kind!

Need to start new kitchen circuit wiring before 1st Jan. You all know why!

According to my (slightly old) DIY book I can use 2.5mm T&E with a 20amp
MCB for a maximum floor area of 20 square meters. My CU is in the
kitchen pantry so the total floor area the cable will cover is
definitely less that 20 square meters. On this circuit I plan to have:

Fridge
Dishwasher
Kettle
Microwave
Toaster
Cooker Hood

The book says unlimited sockets.

Now my question is purely theoretical as I am going to do a ring circuit
instead. But given the above why should I make it a ring circuit?
