Yu Energy Retail Limited has filed a winding-up petition against Woking Kebab Ltd, a takeaway operator based in Woking, Surrey. The High Court of Justice has listed a hearing for 10 June 2026.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to make a winding-up order. Filing the petition does not place the company into liquidation; the court must first consider the matter at a hearing. Yu Energy Retail presented the petition on 23 April 2026, claiming to be a creditor of the company.
The case carries court number CR-2026-003143 and is listed before the Insolvency and Companies List (ChD), the specialist list within the Chancery Division of the High Court that handles insolvency and company-law applications. The hearing is set for 10:30 on Wednesday 10 June 2026 at 7 Rolls Buildings, Fetter Lane, London.
The company
Woking Kebab Ltd is registered at 5 The Broadway, Woking, GU21 5AP and was incorporated in February 2021. Its SIC code covers other service activities not elsewhere classified, the category under which many food-service and takeaway businesses are recorded at Companies House. The company has filed accounts on a micro-entity basis, with its most recent accounts made up to 28 February 2025.
The sole director is Muhammad Toqeer Anwar, who has held the role since incorporation.

The hearing
Anyone intending to appear at the hearing, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice in accordance with rule 7.14 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016 by 16:00 on the day before the hearing. The petition was published in the London Gazette on 26 May 2026. No secured charges are registered against the company at Companies House.
Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Woking Kebab Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Woking Kebab Limited is not yet in liquidation. The court will consider the petition at the date listed in the notice; until then, the company continues to trade, but its bank may freeze accounts and counterparties may stop extending credit. The court can dismiss the petition, adjourn it, or grant a winding-up order.
Are you owed money by Woking Kebab Limited?
You are not yet a creditor in a liquidation; the company is still trading. If you support the petition, you may file a notice of support at the court named in the notice. If the petition is granted, you become an unsecured creditor in the resulting compulsory liquidation and the Official Receiver will invite you to submit a proof of debt.
Did you work at Woking Kebab Limited?
A petition does not by itself terminate your employment. Wages and holiday pay continue to accrue until the company stops paying you or is wound up. Watch the bank position closely; if accounts are frozen, payroll will be the first thing to fail. If the petition is granted, statutory redundancy and notice claims become payable from the Redundancy Payments Service.
Are you a director of Woking Kebab Limited?
Once a petition is filed, the company's directors have a heightened duty to consider the interests of creditors. Continuing to trade where there is no reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvent liquidation can expose directors to personal liability for wrongful trading under Section 214 of the Insolvency Act 1986. Specialist insolvency advice should be taken immediately.
