So two 3kW kettles in a double socket is not acceptable?

It's not desirable, but in a domestic environment (and I've lived in
shared houses with two kettles, to cater for the home-from-work tea
stampede) they're only going to be used occasionally.

In a commercial kitchen (which could include a house doing B&B) more
appropriate provision should be made. Ring circuits should only be
installed where they are *suitable for the load*.
