Franchising details
Wok & Go is leading the way as part of the fast-food movement and is firmly focused on the needs and expectations of today’s consumers. Wok & Go sells freshly prepared noodles and other Asian street food specialties in informal surroundings. The noodle bar concept comes from North America and has flourished in major cities by removing some of the traditional barriers to freshly prepared hot food: price, waiting times, location or availability throughout the day. Customers at Wok & Go have the option to order for collection, eat in or delivery.

This consists of a 4-week training programme providing you with training on all operational aspects of the business, pre-opening training and on-site training once open.
In addition, on-going meetings and other brainstorming occasions will be scheduled as part of the franchise programme, to foster long-term relationships and constant improvements to help your franchise become a success.
HISTORY OF WOK & GOWok & Go was founded in 2008 by Desmond Pheby. The spark that started the wok flame was simple: a love for the taste, aromas and experience of Asian dining in New York City. Desmond’s vision was to bring the concept to the UK to meet consumers demanding needs ‘fresh food cooked in minutes’. Wok & Go is fast food but not as you know it, its fresh, hearty and good value for money. Our hearty noodle boxes are packed full with far East flavours making us a popular choice. Today you will find us in the UK across the North West, London, South West, Midlands and Northern Ireland. We are also an international brand and have sites open in Portugal.
