Founded in 1983

Fergus Liu and Tommy Cheung came from Hong Kong in the 1970s and opened some of the UK’s first Chinese restaurants. They established Far East Kitchen Solutions in 1983, initially selling catering equipment to the Chinese takeaway and restaurant industry. Quality by exclusively manufacturing in the United Kingdom, a high standard of workmanship is ensured. Far East catering equipment is CE safety certified and quality monitored by BSI, then installed and maintained by our Gas Safe Register engineers. The Far East was one of the first manufacturers of gas wok cooking ranges, high power appliances that ensure your Chinese meal isn’t soggy! This was followed by the dim sum steamer and other oriental catering equipment. Throughout the 1980s, Far East gained experience in commercial kitchen design, planning permission, and kitchen vent/extract systems. It also introduced American-style takeout packaging to the UK with its VIP boxes.
