How much does an outdoor kitchen cost in the UK? Explore units, appliances, worktops, services, paving and installation costs for a professionally designed garden kitchen.
How Much Does an Outdoor Kitchen Cost?
If you are considering creating a proper cooking and entertaining area in the garden, one of the first questions is usually:
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost?
The answer depends on far more than the price of the BBQ.
A complete outdoor kitchen may include:
Cabinetry
BBQ
Worktops
Sink
Refrigeration
Storage
Bar seating
Lighting
Electrical supply
Water
Drainage
Gas where appropriate
Foundations
Paving
Pergola
Surrounding planting
The final cost therefore depends on whether you are installing a relatively simple BBQ station or creating a fully integrated outdoor entertaining space.
Kirman Design designs and installs outdoor kitchens as part of complete garden design and landscaping projects throughout North West England.
This guide explains where the money goes, what affects the cost and how to decide what should actually be included in an outdoor kitchen.
What Does an Outdoor Kitchen Cost?
There is no single standard price.
A relatively simple outdoor cooking area might include:
Built-in BBQ
Small worktop
Basic storage
while a more comprehensive kitchen could include:
Premium appliances
Refrigeration
Sink
Extensive cabinetry
Bar
Pergola
Lighting
Dining terrace
The wider landscape construction can sometimes cost as much as, or more than, the kitchen units themselves.
What Is Included in the Cost of an Outdoor Kitchen?
A complete outdoor kitchen budget may need to include:
Design
Kitchen units
BBQ or grill
Worktops
Appliances
Sink and taps
Storage
Electrical services
Water supply
Drainage
Gas supply where required
Foundations
Paving
Pergola or shelter
Lighting
Seating
Planting
This is why simply pricing the units does not tell you what the finished outdoor kitchen will cost.
The Kitchen Is Only Part of the Project
An outdoor kitchen needs somewhere to sit.
It also needs to connect properly with:
House
Patio
Dining area
Seating
Garden
Our Outdoor Kitchen Ideas explores how a kitchen should work as part of the wider garden rather than becoming an isolated feature.
What Affects Outdoor Kitchen Cost?
The main cost drivers include:
Size
Cabinetry
Appliances
Worktop material
Services
Foundations
Location
Paving
Shelter
Lighting
Installation complexity
Each can alter the final budget significantly.
Outdoor Kitchen Size
A larger kitchen naturally requires more:
Units
Worktop
Appliances
Installation
but bigger is not always better.
The correct size depends on how you actually cook outdoors.
Ask:
Do you need a sink?
Do you need refrigeration?
How much preparation space?
Do you want bar seating?
Do you need storage?
Designing around genuine use can prevent unnecessary expenditure.
Outdoor Kitchen Design Costs
A well-designed kitchen should consider more than the layout of the units.
It should also coordinate:
Circulation
Dining
Seating
Services
Lighting
Views
Shelter
with the rest of the garden.
Our Garden Design Consultation can help establish how an outdoor kitchen should fit within a wider landscape project.
Modular Outdoor Kitchens
Modular systems use pre-designed components that can be arranged to suit the space.
They can provide a good balance between:
Flexibility
Quality
Installation efficiency
and may be more straightforward to cost than a completely bespoke kitchen.
Bespoke Outdoor Kitchens
Bespoke kitchens can be designed around the exact:
Space
Architecture
Appliances
Storage requirements
of the garden.
This can create a highly integrated result but generally increases both design and fabrication costs.
Premium Outdoor Kitchen Systems
High-end outdoor kitchens may use:
Powder-coated aluminium
Stainless steel
Ceramic
Sintered stone
Premium composite materials
designed specifically for exterior use.
The cost can be substantially higher than basic units, but durability and finish are also different.
Outdoor Kitchen Cabinet Costs
Cabinetry is one of the main components of the kitchen itself.
Costs are influenced by:
Material
Construction
Door finish
Drawer systems
Internal storage
Weather resistance
Outdoor cabinetry should be designed for permanent exposure to the elements.
Why Indoor Kitchen Units Are Not the Same
Standard internal kitchen cabinets are generally not designed to cope with:
Rain
Frost
Damp
Temperature fluctuation
Using inappropriate materials outdoors can lead to premature failure.
BBQ Costs
The BBQ or grill is often the centre of the kitchen.
Prices vary enormously depending on:
Brand
Size
Fuel type
Number of burners
Built-in specification
Additional functions
A premium built-in grill can represent a significant part of the kitchen budget.
Gas BBQ Costs
Gas BBQs are popular because they offer:
Convenience
Control
Fast heat-up
The installation may also need to consider the gas supply arrangement and safe positioning.
Charcoal BBQ Costs
Charcoal can provide a different cooking experience.
It may be incorporated into:
Kamado-style cooker
Built-in charcoal grill
rather than replacing gas entirely.
Kamado BBQ Costs
Ceramic kamado-style cookers can be incorporated into outdoor kitchen worktops.
The kitchen needs to be designed around:
Dimensions
Heat
Clearances
Access
rather than simply cutting a hole after everything has been built.
Pizza Oven Costs
A pizza oven may be:
Portable
Built-in
Freestanding
and can range from relatively straightforward to substantial masonry or premium appliance installations.
Built-In Grill Versus Freestanding BBQ
A freestanding BBQ is usually simpler and less expensive to install.
A built-in grill creates a more integrated appearance but requires:
Correct unit dimensions
Ventilation
Worktop detailing
and more coordination.
Outdoor Fridge Costs
Refrigeration can be particularly useful when the kitchen is some distance from the house.
Outdoor-rated refrigeration generally costs more than ordinary domestic equipment because it must operate in a wider range of environmental conditions.
Do You Need an Outdoor Fridge?
Not always.
If the kitchen is immediately outside the house, it may be unnecessary.
If it is at the far end of a large garden, refrigeration may become much more useful.
This illustrates an important principle:
Luxury is not about including every available appliance.
It is about selecting the ones that genuinely improve how the space is used.
Outdoor Sink Costs
Adding a sink usually requires more than purchasing the sink itself.
You may also need:
Water supply
Waste connection
Pipework
Drainage
which can significantly increase the installation cost.
Is an Outdoor Sink Worth It?
It can be extremely useful for:
Food preparation
Washing hands
Cleaning
particularly where the kitchen is far from the house.
But on a smaller terrace immediately outside the main kitchen, it may be less essential.
Outdoor Worktop Costs
Worktops need to tolerate exterior conditions.
Possible materials may include:
Granite
Sintered stone
Ceramic
Stainless steel
Suitable composites
depending on the system and design.
Worktop Thickness and Detailing
Cost can increase where the design requires:
Mitred edges
Waterfall ends
Appliance cut-outs
Sink cut-outs
Large-format slabs
or bespoke fabrication.
Outdoor Kitchen Bar Costs
A bar can provide:
Informal seating
Serving space
Social connection
between the person cooking and guests.
It may require additional:
Worktop
Support structure
Seating space
and therefore increases the footprint and cost.
Outdoor Kitchen Storage Costs
Storage might include:
Drawers
Cupboards
Bin units
Gas bottle storage
Utensil storage
More complex internal storage systems increase cabinetry cost.
Electrical Costs
Outdoor kitchens may require electricity for:
Refrigeration
Lighting
Sockets
Appliances
The installation needs to be appropriate for exterior use.
Outdoor Sockets
Sockets may be useful for:
Small appliances
Chargers
Temporary equipment
but should be planned properly rather than added as an afterthought.
Water Supply Costs
A sink may require a new water supply from the house.
The cost depends partly on:
Distance
Route
Existing infrastructure
A kitchen immediately outside the house may be much simpler than one located 30 metres away.
Drainage Costs
Wastewater from a sink needs an appropriate route.
Our How Much Does Garden Drainage Cost? guide explains why underground drainage can become a meaningful part of an exterior project.
Gas Supply Costs
Where a fixed gas installation is proposed, the work needs appropriate specialist input.
The route and distance from the source can influence cost.
In other designs, bottled gas may be used instead.
Foundations
Outdoor kitchen units require a stable base.
This may involve:
Concrete foundations
Reinforced slab
Suitable paving base
depending on the kitchen system.
The foundation should be designed before the surrounding terrace is completed.
Patio Costs Around an Outdoor Kitchen
Most garden kitchens sit on a patio.
Our How Much Does a Patio Cost? explains the wider construction involved.
The kitchen area may require:
More paving
Additional foundations
Service routes
Drainage
which means the true cost goes beyond the kitchen units.
Outdoor Kitchen Patio Size
The paved area must provide enough room for:
Cooking
Opening doors and drawers
People passing behind the cook
Dining
Seating
without becoming unnecessarily large.
Our Garden Patio Ideas considers how terrace size should relate to actual use.
Outdoor Kitchen Near the House
Positioning the kitchen close to the house can potentially simplify access to:
Electricity
Water
Drainage
and make carrying food between indoor and outdoor kitchens easier.
Outdoor Kitchen Away From the House
A destination kitchen elsewhere in the garden can create a stronger outdoor experience.
However, it may require much longer:
Cable runs
Water supply
Drainage routes
Paths
which can increase the overall cost.
Outdoor Kitchen Under a Pergola
Our Pergola Ideas explores structures over outdoor kitchens and entertaining areas.
A pergola can provide:
Spatial definition
Shade
Shelter
Lighting support
but represents an additional construction cost.
Pergola Foundations
If a pergola forms part of the kitchen area, the foundations should ideally be installed before the paving.
Retrofitting structural posts through finished paving is rarely the most elegant solution.
Aluminium Pergola Costs
Premium aluminium pergolas may include:
Louvred roofs
Integrated drainage
Lighting
Screens
and can become one of the most substantial items within an outdoor living area.
Timber Pergola Costs
A bespoke timber structure may provide a different character.
Costs depend on:
Timber
Size
Joinery
Finish
Foundations
and whether additional screening or lighting is incorporated.
Outdoor Kitchen Lighting Costs
A kitchen needs both functional and atmospheric light.
Our How Much Does Garden Lighting Cost? explains the wider lighting budget.
The cooking area may require:
Task lighting
Pergola lighting
Worktop lighting
while the surrounding garden uses softer landscape lighting.
Don't Light an Outdoor Kitchen Like an Indoor Office
Cooking requires sufficient visibility.
But excessive bright light can destroy the atmosphere of the surrounding garden.
A successful scheme should balance:
function and mood.
Outdoor Dining Area Costs
The kitchen usually works alongside a dining area.
Our Outdoor Entertaining Area Ideas considers how:
Kitchen
Dining
Seating
can be arranged together.
Outdoor Dining Furniture
Furniture is sometimes overlooked in the initial landscape budget.
A high-quality:
Dining table
Chairs
Lounge furniture
can represent a meaningful additional cost.
Garden Seating Around an Outdoor Kitchen
Our Garden Seating Area Ideas explores alternative arrangements.
The kitchen does not necessarily need to dominate the terrace.
It may sit alongside:
Dining
Lounge seating
Fire pit
while planting ties the spaces together.
Fire Pit and Outdoor Kitchen Costs
A fire feature can extend the use of the entertaining area.
But adding another feature also means more:
Space
Construction
Furniture
so it should be included because it adds genuine value rather than simply because it is fashionable.
Water Features Near Outdoor Kitchens
Our Garden Water Feature Ideas can complement entertaining spaces.
Water may provide:
Movement
Reflection
Sound
but careful positioning is required so it supports rather than competes with the kitchen.
Planting Around an Outdoor Kitchen
Planting prevents an outdoor kitchen from feeling like an exterior showroom.
Our Garden Planting Ideas explores how trees, shrubs and perennials can soften hard landscaping.
Herbs Near an Outdoor Kitchen
Herbs can be both attractive and useful.
Depending on conditions, planting might include:
Rosemary
Thyme
Sage
Chives
Mint in controlled conditions
close to the cooking area.
Trees Around an Outdoor Kitchen
Trees can provide:
Scale
Privacy
Shade
around the terrace.
Our specimen trees can create immediate maturity where appropriate.
Outdoor Kitchen Privacy Costs
Our Garden Privacy Ideas considers privacy around entertaining areas.
Possible solutions include:
Trees
Hedging
Screens
Pergolas
Layered planting
and may need to be included in the overall budget.
Screening an Outdoor Kitchen
Our Garden Screening Ideas can also help hide:
Neighbours
Utility areas
Adjacent buildings
from the main entertaining space.
Wind Exposure
An outdoor kitchen in an exposed location may be uncomfortable to use even if the equipment itself is excellent.
The design should therefore consider:
Prevailing wind
Shelter
Screens
Planting
before deciding the final position.
Sun and Shade
A fully exposed south-facing terrace may become extremely hot while cooking.
A permanently shaded kitchen may feel less appealing for entertaining.
The sun path should therefore influence:
Orientation
Pergola design
Seating position
Outdoor Kitchen for Indoor-Outdoor Living
Our Garden Design for Indoor Outdoor Living considers the connection between house and terrace.
An outdoor kitchen can work particularly well where large:
Bifold doors
Sliding doors
allow the interior kitchen and exterior entertaining area to function together.
Outdoor Kitchen Outside Bifold Doors
Our Garden Design Around Bifold Doors considers the relationship with the house.
The outdoor kitchen should not:
Block views
Restrict circulation
Dominate the glazing
simply because it needs to sit near existing services.
Outdoor Kitchen Outside Sliding Doors
Our Garden Design Around Sliding Doors involves similar considerations.
Large glazed elevations often benefit from keeping the immediate view relatively open.
The kitchen can sometimes sit to one side rather than directly in front of the doors.
Outdoor Kitchen After a House Extension
Our Garden Design After a House Extension often presents an ideal opportunity to reconsider outdoor entertaining.
The extension may create:
New access
New views
New patio levels
that determine where the kitchen should be positioned.
Planning an Outdoor Kitchen During an Extension
Our Garden Design for a New Extension explains why the garden should ideally be considered while the building work is still being planned.
This allows:
Power
Water
Drainage
Gas where applicable
Foundations
to be coordinated early.
Outdoor Kitchen Costs in a New Build Garden
Our Garden Design for New Build Homes can include an outdoor kitchen as part of a complete redesign.
New-build gardens often start with:
Minimal patios
Limited privacy
Little planting
so the surrounding landscape may represent a large part of the project cost.
Modern Outdoor Kitchen Costs
Our Modern Garden Ideas often incorporate outdoor kitchens with:
Clean lines
Large-format paving
Architectural planting
The design may appear simple, but achieving crisp detailing often requires precise construction.
Contemporary Outdoor Kitchen Costs
Our Contemporary Garden Ideas may integrate the kitchen more softly with:
Trees
Grasses
Naturalistic planting
rather than treating it as a separate architectural object.
Luxury Outdoor Kitchen Costs
Our How Much Does a Luxury Garden Cost? looks at premium landscape projects.
A luxury outdoor kitchen may include:
Premium cabinetry
High-end appliances
Bespoke worktops
Refrigeration
Sink
Bar
Pergola
Lighting
and can become a substantial investment in its own right.
Country House Outdoor Kitchens
Our Garden Design for Country Houses may require a less overtly contemporary treatment.
The kitchen could use materials that connect with:
Stone
Brick
Timber
Surrounding landscape
while still providing modern functionality.
Farmhouse Outdoor Kitchens
Our Garden Design for Farmhouses may suit more restrained outdoor cooking areas.
A beautifully designed terrace with a high-quality grill and generous preparation space may feel more appropriate than an enormous urban-style bar installation.
Large Garden Outdoor Kitchens
Our How Much Does a Large Garden Cost to Landscape? explains how large landscapes need hierarchy.
An outdoor kitchen may be:
Close to the house
Part of a destination terrace
depending on how the garden is used.
If positioned far from the house, service infrastructure becomes increasingly important to the budget.
How Much Does a Basic Outdoor Kitchen Cost?
A simpler installation may include:
BBQ
Small run of cabinets
Worktop
without extensive services or structures.
This is considerably different from a full outdoor kitchen with:
Sink
Refrigerator
Pergola
Bespoke paving
so the term “outdoor kitchen” needs to be defined before comparing prices.
Is £10,000 Enough for an Outdoor Kitchen?
It may be possible to create some relatively simple installations within this level of expenditure, depending on the equipment, cabinetry and existing terrace.
However, adding:
Premium appliances
Services
New paving
Pergola
can quickly increase the total project cost.
Can an Outdoor Kitchen Cost £20,000 or More?
Yes.
A professionally integrated garden kitchen with quality cabinetry, appliances and associated landscape work can readily become a significant five-figure project.
Can an Outdoor Kitchen Cost £50,000 or More?
Yes.
At the upper end, the “outdoor kitchen” may actually be a complete outdoor entertaining project including:
Premium kitchen
Large terrace
Pergola
Lighting
Bar
Services
Planting
The combined investment can therefore substantially exceed the cost of the kitchen furniture itself.
Can a Luxury Outdoor Kitchen Cost £100,000?
A highly specified outdoor living area can reach this level once the wider construction is included.
For example, the project might contain:
Premium kitchen system
Large-format paving
Automated pergola
Extensive lighting
Heating
Bespoke furniture
Mature planting
At this point, it should be viewed as a complete exterior room rather than simply a BBQ area.
Outdoor Kitchen Cost Per Metre
Pricing an outdoor kitchen purely by linear metre can be misleading.
Two metres of basic cabinets are very different from two metres containing:
Premium grill
Fridge
Sink
Bespoke worktop
The appliance specification often has as much influence as the cabinetry length.
Outdoor Kitchen Cost Per Square Metre
A square metre rate is even less useful because the project is made up of very different elements.
The cost should be developed from the actual:
Kitchen
Appliances
Services
Paving
Structures
required.
What Is the Most Expensive Part of an Outdoor Kitchen?
This varies.
Major cost areas may include:
Cabinetry
Appliances
Pergola
Surrounding paving
Services
depending on the design.
For a remote garden kitchen, installing the infrastructure may be a surprisingly large part of the cost.
How Can I Reduce Outdoor Kitchen Costs?
The best approach is usually to reduce unnecessary specification rather than compromise installation quality.
Start With the BBQ
Ask what cooking equipment you genuinely want.
Do you need:
Gas grill
Kamado
Pizza oven
All three?
Selecting one or two appliances can dramatically simplify the kitchen.
Question the Sink
If the indoor kitchen is only a few steps away, adding:
Water
Drainage
Sink
may not provide enough benefit to justify the additional cost.
Question the Refrigerator
Likewise, refrigeration may be essential in a distant entertaining area but less valuable directly outside the house.
Keep the Kitchen Compact
A well-designed compact kitchen can provide:
Cooking
Preparation
Storage
without unnecessary cabinetry.
Reduce the Number of Appliances
Every extra appliance adds:
Purchase cost
Space
Services
and potentially maintenance.
Build the Right Patio, Not the Biggest Patio
The terrace should accommodate the kitchen comfortably without turning the garden into a large paved area.
Use One Strong Material Palette
Using fewer:
Paving materials
Worktop finishes
Wall finishes
can create a more sophisticated appearance while simplifying construction.
Plan the Services Before Landscaping
If the outdoor kitchen may be added later, consider installing:
Power
Water
Drainage routes
during the initial landscaping work.
This can avoid digging through finished paving later.
Can an Outdoor Kitchen Be Added Later?
Yes.
If the terrace and infrastructure are planned correctly, the kitchen itself can sometimes form a later phase.
This can be useful when prioritising a wider garden budget.
Phasing an Outdoor Kitchen
For example:
Phase One
Foundations
Paving
Electrical provision
Water and drainage routes
Phase Two
Kitchen cabinetry
Appliances
Phase Three
Pergola
Additional lighting
Furniture
The complete design should still be established at the beginning.
Outdoor Kitchen Maintenance Costs
Outdoor kitchens need ongoing care.
Depending on the specification, this may involve:
Cleaning
Appliance servicing
Covers
Winter preparation
The durability of the materials becomes particularly important in the wet climate of North West England.
Is an Outdoor Kitchen Worth It in the UK?
For clients who genuinely enjoy:
Cooking
Entertaining
Eating outdoors
an outdoor kitchen can transform how the garden is used.
The British climate does not necessarily make an outdoor kitchen pointless.
Instead, it makes:
Position
Shelter
Lighting
Drainage
more important.
Do You Need a Pergola Over an Outdoor Kitchen in the UK?
Not necessarily.
Some clients prefer a fully open terrace.
Others value a pergola for:
Shade
Shelter
Defined space
The correct choice depends on the site and how frequently the area will be used.
Outdoor Kitchen Drainage in North West England
Rainfall should be considered seriously.
Surface water should not be allowed to collect:
Around cabinets
Beneath appliances
On the cooking terrace
The kitchen and patio should therefore be designed as one coordinated construction.
How Much Does a New Garden Cost With an Outdoor Kitchen?
Our How Much Does a New Garden Cost? guide explains the overall cost of a garden transformation.
An outdoor kitchen can represent a meaningful proportion of the budget but should still leave enough investment for:
Planting
Trees
Drainage
Wider landscaping
to make the garden feel complete.
How Much Does It Cost to Completely Landscape a Garden?
Our How Much Does It Cost to Completely Landscape a Garden? page explains the wider project costs.
An outdoor kitchen is often one feature within a much larger landscape construction budget.
How Much Does Landscaping Cost?
Our How Much Does Landscaping Cost? guide considers the cost of:
Groundworks
Paving
Walls
Planting
Structures
that may surround the kitchen.
Outdoor Kitchens in £50,000–£100,000 Garden Projects
Our Garden Design for £50,000–£100,000 Budgets considers how budgets at this level can be prioritised.
An outdoor kitchen may be achievable, but its specification should be balanced against the wider needs of the garden.
Outdoor Kitchens in £100,000+ Garden Projects
Our Garden Design for £100,000+ Projects may incorporate a more comprehensive outdoor entertaining area with:
Premium kitchen
Pergola
Lighting

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost in the UK?
There is no single price. The cost depends on cabinetry, appliances, worktops, services, paving, lighting and whether structures such as a pergola are included.
How much does a basic outdoor kitchen cost?
A relatively simple BBQ station with worktop and storage can cost far less than a complete kitchen with premium appliances, utilities and bespoke landscaping.
How much does a luxury outdoor kitchen cost?
Luxury outdoor kitchens can become substantial five-figure projects, particularly when they include premium cabinetry, multiple appliances, pergolas, lighting and surrounding landscape construction.
Is £10,000 enough for an outdoor kitchen?
It may be for some simpler installations, depending on the kitchen system and whether the patio and services already exist.
Can an outdoor kitchen cost £20,000?
Yes. Quality cabinetry, appliances, worktops and installation can readily reach or exceed this level.
Can an outdoor kitchen cost £50,000?
Yes, particularly where the project includes a substantial terrace, premium pergola, services, lighting and landscaping as part of the overall outdoor entertaining area.
Do outdoor kitchens need electricity?
Not always, but refrigeration, lighting, sockets and some appliances require an electrical supply.
Do outdoor kitchens need water?
Only if you want a sink or appliances requiring a water connection.
Does an outdoor kitchen need drainage?
If it includes a sink, suitable wastewater drainage needs to be considered. Surface drainage around the terrace is also important.
Does an outdoor kitchen need planning permission?
Many straightforward installations may not require planning permission, but structures, listed properties and other site-specific circumstances can change the position. Individual projects should be checked where necessary.
Can an outdoor kitchen go under a pergola?
Yes, subject to appropriate design, ventilation, appliance requirements and clearances.
Can an outdoor kitchen be used in winter?
Yes, although shelter, lighting and the type of equipment will affect how comfortable it is to use during colder weather.
Are outdoor kitchens suitable for the UK climate?
Yes, provided appropriate exterior-grade materials and equipment are used and the kitchen is designed around British weather conditions.
Should an outdoor kitchen be near the house?
Often this is convenient and can reduce service runs, but a kitchen can also become a separate destination elsewhere in a larger garden.
Should I add a fridge to my outdoor kitchen?
Only if it will genuinely be useful. If the indoor kitchen is immediately adjacent, refrigeration may not be essential.
Is a sink essential?
No. It can be useful, particularly in a remote kitchen, but it also introduces water and drainage requirements.
Is a pergola essential?
No. It can add shelter and define the space, but an open outdoor kitchen may be more appropriate in some gardens.
Can an outdoor kitchen be added after the patio is built?
Yes, but foundations and services are easier to accommodate if they are planned before the paving is completed.
Does Kirman Design design and install outdoor kitchens across North West England?
Yes. Kirman Design incorporates outdoor kitchens into professionally designed garden and landscaping projects throughout North West England, including Lancashire, Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside and the Ribble Valley.
An Outdoor Kitchen Should Be Designed Around How You Cook
The most expensive outdoor kitchen is not automatically the best one.
A client who enjoys cooking over charcoal may value:
Excellent grill
Generous preparation space
Comfortable dining
far more than a row of appliances they rarely use.
Someone who entertains large groups may benefit from:
Refrigeration
Bar seating
Sink
Multiple cooking methods
The specification should therefore begin with:
How do you actually want to cook and entertain outside?
Only then should you decide which:
Appliances
Units
Services
Structures
are worth paying for.
That is the difference between buying an expensive outdoor kitchen and creating an outdoor kitchen that genuinely improves the garden.
If you are considering an outdoor kitchen as part of a garden transformation in North West England, contact Kirman Design to discuss the kitchen, terrace, services, planting and wider entertaining space as one coordinated design.
