Edwards & Godding is a family business run by Caroline, her brother Alex and her husband Ed, together with a small team of designers, engineers and kitchen consultants. We supply, install and look after AGA cookers and luxury kitchen appliances, and we design and build bespoke kitchens.
Our History
Edwards & Godding was founded in 1790, and started life as an ironmonger in Newbury. By the early 1900s, the shop in Newbury Market Square was selling everything from cookers and oil lamps to lawn rollers. In 1932, we became one of AGA's five original distributors.

Choosing an AGA is a big decision. Three generations of our family have worked with, cooked on and lived around these cookers. When you talk to us, you're talking to people who understand exactly what you're weighing up – the investment, how an AGA will change the way you cook, and what it can mean for family life.
Your AGA cooker will be installed by our own team, who know AGA cookers inside out and will do whatever it takes to fit it beautifully. Renovations have their moments, we know, so we make sure ours is the part that goes to plan.
As well as AGA cookers, we offer luxury kitchen appliances from range cookers and refrigerators to wine fridges and boiling water taps. Every brand we sell is one we'd gladly have in our own kitchens – each prized for their professional-grade performance, their craftsmanship and the pleasure of using them, and all of them extraordinary in their own way.
Our kitchen design team takes on a small number of bespoke projects each year, so each one gets the time and attention to detail it deserves.
Our grandparents' approach was simple: look after people properly. That’s the same approach we take to business today.
From your first visit, you'll meet the same faces in our showrooms and hear the same friendly voices on the other end of the phone. We come to know you and your kitchen, so whenever you have a question, or need something new, you'll be talking to someone who already knows your setup.
We look after customers across Oxfordshire, Berkshire, the South East and the South West — our showrooms in Reading and Woodstock are open seven days a week by appointment, with premium kitchen appliances and AGA cookers to see in person.
Dogs are very welcome – and we suspect yours will have found the warmest spot, and perhaps even selected your new cooker for you, before you've finished your coffee.
Book a visit, or get in touch. We look forward to meeting you.
