20A switch is fine so long as you do not need any further protection for a particular appliance supply, just make sure is you have a plug and socket arrangement under the counter that there is access to be able to change the fuse in the plug if required at any time.

Would it be ok to put 1 spur feeding 2 appliances next to each other? I know its not ideal but would isolate if needed

Got a few spurs in a kitchen for appliances but customer doesn't like the look of a fused spur. Is there any other way like 20a dp switched or 45a 1g cooker switch or are these more hassle?

Depends on what your asking, if you're talking about supplying a hidden socket outlet for a built in appliance from a convenient location above the kitchen worktop, no problem at all, many use
bank(s) of 20A grid switches to do the same thing...

There are quite attractive FCU face plates these days that look not much different than a 20A switch plate.
