Range cooking since 1830

If you want to create the perfect kitchen… a range cooker from Falcon is essential. We’re totally committed to producing stylish products that will stand the test of time and ‘standing the test of time’ is something we know all about. We created the very first range cooker in 1830 and we’ve been leading the way ever since. The world’s first range cooker, the Kitchener, was produced at the site that still remains our headquarters today in Leamington Spa. The Kitchener was designed and built by William Flavel who was the son of the founding family and it represented a truly revolutionary breakthrough in cooking technology. As the first cast-iron cooker that could boil, roast, bake and warm-all from the same heat source, its timesaving and easy-to-use functionality was quickly embraced in all kinds of kitchens. These included some of the most important homes in Europe such as the royal households of the King of Italy, the Emperor of Germany, Queen Victoria and her eldest son - Edward VII.
