Where to Buy a Range Cooker Near London?

If you’ve been dreaming about upgrading your kitchen with a proper range cooker, you’re in good company. Across London and the South East, more homeowners are trading in standard ovens for something that looks beautiful, cooks brilliantly, and makes the kitchen feel like the heart of the home.

The only question is - where do you start with finding your perfect range cooker?

There are endless models online, but choosing a range cooker isn’t like buying a toaster. You need to see it, touch it, maybe even hear it tick as it warms. The difference between a good cooker and the right one for your home often comes down to how it feels in person.

The Best Range Cooker Brands to Consider

Alongside the classic Aga cooker, the three most popular brands we see London homeowners fall in love with are Everhot, Lacanche, and Bertazzoni.

Everhot

Made in Gloucestershire, Everhot cookers are electric, energy-efficient, and full of character. They’re designed to cook like an Aga, but with far more control and efficiency to help keep your energy costs down.

Everhot is ideal if you want traditional charm without sky-high running costs.

Lacanche

Handmade in Burgundy, France, Lacanche is the chef’s choice. These cookers are built for performance and precision, with options to combine gas, induction, and electric ovens. You can customise your setup, colours, and finishes - even the knobs and trims.

They’re incredibly sturdy, built to last a lifetime, and frankly, they look stunning in both country-style and modern kitchens.

Bertazzoni

For something with a touch of Italian flair, Bertazzoni cookers deliver contemporary design and reliability in equal measure. They heat quickly, come in sleek finishes, and suit busy London households that want style and practicality rolled into one.

Whether you lean towards heritage warmth or clean modern lines, these three brands are great alternatives to an Aga cooker and cover every taste.

Where to buy a range cooker near London

So, where’s the best place to find these cookers and get proper advice? One of the most trusted names just outside the city is F & R Fornello (that’s us!), based in Forest Row, East Sussex.

Unlike high-street chains or online-only retailers, we are dedicated range cooker specialists.

You’ll find dedicated displays from Everhot – including the latest Wi-Fi–enabled models, Lacanche and Bertazzoni.

It’s one of the few places near London where you can see all three brands side by side, in a calm, relaxed space where you’re free to explore.

Why bother visiting a showroom?

Buying a range cooker online might look convenient, but it’s a bit like buying a car without a test drive. Until you’ve stood in front of one, opened the doors, and visualised how it will look in your kitchen, it’s hard to tell what you’re really getting.

In a good showroom, you can:

• See the quality up close - the enamel finish, the control dials, the detailing.

• Get real advice from experts - not generic product descriptions.

• Compare brands side by side, so you can spot what actually suits your home.

• See live demonstrations: F & R Fornello regularly hosts live demonstrations where you can watch the cookers in action, ask questions, and pick up cooking tips.

Range cookers are built to last for decades. When you’re making any long-term investment, a little time exploring in person makes all the difference.

 How to get there from London

Driving from central London takes roughly 1.5 hours, depending on traffic. F & R Fornello is located south of the M25, near East Grinstead, with easy access via the M23 or A22.

There’s free parking on site, and the showroom is open throughout the week for walk-ins, although booking an appointment means we can make your visit a more personal experience.

There are also good train links from London to the nearby town of East Grinstead – which is just a 7-minute taxi ride away from Forest Row.

If you’re coming from south or west London, it’s an easy route out of the city - and you can even stop for lunch in one of the nearby country pubs!
