About Us

Our History

Woodstock was created in 1978 and we opened our first showroom on Packenham Street in North London of that year. When we first opened we specialised in the manufacture of solid maple mobile butchers blocks and then quickly expanded to making dressers and tables. Finally we went into the production of solid timber kitchens using mainly maple and cherry woods.

From the start, quality and longevity have been at the heart of the company and are what have helped us remain a key player within the industry for 40 years.

We now produce furniture for every room in the house. We pride ourselves in offering a truly personal service, a willingness to go that extra mile for our clients alongside our high quality crafted furniture. This has resulted in 85% of our projects coming from repeat or recommendation.

Our current workshops are in Andover in Hampshire where we also have our main showroom giving clients the opportunity to see their furniture being made if they choose to visit the showroom.

Our Ethos


As the owner and managing director of Woodstock Furniture, I've spent a great deal of time with clients – discussing different options, providing some creative inspiration, but above all, listening. In all the years I've been involved with the business, I've never tried to sell anyone a particular ‘range' or impose my views on them. After all, it's their kitchen, bathroom or living space, rather than mine.

At our workshop in Hampshire, we have skilled craftsmen who use a mix of the latest technology and traditional machinery to create bespoke pieces of furniture. Every detail is carefully considered. I’m always confident that we can take the clients idea and work with it, producing a design that’s individual and distinctive. Our philosophy has been the same for the last 40 years, with the right thinking, open discussion and our dedicated personal service, anything becomes possible.

Thoughts from Our Clients

We have worked with Woodstock Furniture on a number of kitchen projects for clients, most recently on a bespoke kitchen for a new build family house. We worked closely with them to interpret our clients’ needs and style and design a beautiful and practical kitchen that our clients were very happy with. The quality of the kitchen was excellent and their knowledge of appliances was very good. Delivery and installation was on time and within the set budget. They are professional, provide a very good service and are easy to deal with. We would highly recommend them.

This is our second kitchen built by Woodstock. The first one looked good for 18 years but we felt ready to extend and update our kitchen. We went right back to Woodstock, having been so happy first time round, and also having seen examples of their recent work at friends’ houses.

Our kitchen project has been an absolute delight. Andrew has such flair and attention to detail. Woodstock provided the highest quality products and helped us to put our ideas together to give us such a beautiful and functional kitchen. It was a pleasure to work with them and we couldn’t be happier with the result.

I have used Woodstock many times over the years, both for my developments and for my own private use. They have always provided a quality service combining an imaginative approach to design, careful attention to the client’s brief and on-time delivery of a beautifully executed product at competitive prices. While there are many competitors in their field , I very much doubt that Woodstock can be beaten on quality, dependability or price.

Friends recommended Woodstock Furniture to us when we were renovating our house. By this point I’d started discussions and designing with another kitchen company with whom I wasn’t happy and I was angsting both about that and also about needing to change designer and having it all done in time, especially as the builder was clear that a change of kitchen company at that stage was late in the day.

From my first meeting with Andrew I knew this was a company in a different league. His ideas were unusual, his finishes beautiful and he spent time understanding how we operate as a family and then designed the kitchen around that. The whole process was a real joy. Andrew’s customer service is exceptional, his designs were detailed, thoughtful and meticulous and when the time came for installation it was amazing. Everything ran on time and that never happens! Andy, the fitter was fantastic and installed the whole kitchen himself with huge attention to detail and our builders thoroughly enjoyed working with him.

I wanted a porcelain worktop which Woodstock had never used before, but didn’t deter them and it’s great. Andrew advised me on how the painted finish would look and thus which shade of dark blue to choose and he was absolutely right.

Looking at the quality of the units the workmanship is exception – even our architect, who was extremely pedantic and discerning commented on the feather joins and how excellent they and all the build quality was. Nothing was too much trouble for Andrew and Woodstock and the result is as it was designed to be. The most beautiful, handmade kitchen which is a joy to cook in because it’s so well planned, and it gives our house a wow factor. In comparison to other kitchen companies the price was extremely competitive and I would be amazed if anyone else could produce such a glorious, well built, thoughtful kitchen at that price.

Both our builders and architect said that it was the best kitchen and kitchen design / installation process they’d seen in their years on the job and they’ll be recommending Woodstock too.

We can’t recommend Woodstock & Andrew highly enough.

Andrew and the team are superb craftsmen who we have used on several large projects. Their attention to detail is second to none, as is their after care service. I can not recommend them highly enough.

Woodstock designed, manufactured and installed the kitchen for our new extension. They were patient and helpful whilst we went through various iterations of the design and materials. This is the second kitchen they have installed for us and would not hesitate in using them again.

I have had the pleasure of working with Woodstock on a number of occasions over the past few years and it is so refreshing to work with a company that not only produce wonderful work but who are such gentlemen to deal with. From the management to the fitters, you wont find a better service. In an age when most people are happy to produce ordinary furniture, Woodstock always seem to be able to produce that something special. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for any job.

MRS R, HAMPTON

After decades of a dull and outdated kitchen, Woodstock Furniture and its excellent team did a fantastic and creative job of reviving it. The design style and colours merge seamlessly with the rest of the house and we certainly have Woodstock to thank for our increase in house parties.
