Introducing the wok2go Takeaway Franchise

History

George Leung was introduced to the rich culinary traditions of China at a remarkably tender age. Just 7 years after emigrating from Hong Kong, his father was a star chef in Liverpool’s Chinatown and the highest-paid Chinese chef in the UK. In 1959, the senior Leung opened the first of 5 successful restaurants, which he would own and operate as a chain. George was raised in the kitchens of his father’s restaurants – immersed in the sights, smells and secrets of fine Chinese cooking.

By the age of 11, George Leung was cooking alongside master chefs from Hong Kong, including the renowned Wong Sen, who had cooked for the Queen during her visit to Hong Kong in the 1950’s. George Leung absorbed the skills and techniques of the masters. In 1982, he started his first restaurant, followed in rapid succession by a second and a third.

Invited to develop recipes for the supermarkets, George developed a manufacturing base that quickly became the UK’s biggest supplier of seaweed. In 1992, George created a famously delicious marinade for Crispy Duck that is still popular today.

Creating the wok2go Restaurant Franchise

George was driven by a desire to popularise the authentic flavours of true Chinese cooking. To share his recipes with a wider audience – without compromising quality – he drew upon his restaurant and manufacturing experience to create wok2go.

Marrying the restaurant formula and quality manufacturing methodology, wok2go systematised the execution of often-elaborate recipes. Using top-notch kitchens, fresh ingredients and innovative systems, wok2go facilitated the preparation of authentic Oriental dishes. The result is an unrivalled bounty of affordable, fresh and healthy delicacies that never disappoint. Great food without compromise is the wok2go promise.

Oriental cookery is not static, and neither is George Leung. George regularly travels to the Far East in search of new ingredients, new dishes and new trends. The best find their way into the dynamic wok2go menu. With regular additions, like the recent inclusion of red and green Thai curry dishes, even the most regular customer would be hard-pressed to exhaust the wok2go selection.

wok2go is the first chain of oriental takeaways to provide healthy, freshly-cooked, restaurant-quality food for the discerning consumer. wok2go is about reinventing the takeaway experience.
