What is an Outdoor Kitchen?

Think of an outdoor kitchen as a special spot in your garden, purpose-built for cooking and food preparation. It usually comes equipped with key cooking appliances, like a barbecue or an oven. You'll also typically find useful work surfaces for food preparation and storage cupboards to keep all your essentials tidy.

You have various options for how this cooking zone is set up:

  • It might be completely open-air.

  • It could be partially or fully enclosed.

  • Perhaps it's integrated within a permanent outdoor building.

And, regardless of the setup, you can decide whether it has a protective cover or remains open to the sky.
