As the sun finally gets its hat on, we can\u2019t help but look forward to long summer evenings spent dining al fresco. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though we all love a good BBQ, what we\u2019re really dreaming of, however, is a full outdoor kitchen a la Jamie Oliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But outdoor kitchens aren\u2019t just for TV chefs and the super-rich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent study by Uswitch<\/a> found that they have become one of the UK\u2019s most popular home improvement projects, ranked somewhere between installing new windows and replacing the roof.<\/p>

Experts believe our increased desire to be grilling in the great outdoors<\/a> can be traced back to lockdown, with a report by the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association<\/a> revealing that outdoor kitchen sales increased by 18% in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No sign of slowing down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Felix Heinrich, brand and marketing communications at Flammkraft<\/a>, says the appeal of outdoor kitchen spaces in the UK (despite the unpredictable weather) can be attributed to several factors, including a growing appreciation for outdoor living and entertaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople enjoy the experience of cooking, dining and socialising in the open air, which complements the British love for nature, gardening and outdoor activities,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trend is also reflective of a broader European movement towards outdoor living spaces, fuelled by changing lifestyles and a desire for modern, functional outdoor areas.<\/p>

More simply, outdoor kitchens provide the perfect opportunity to extend your living space, providing a functional and stylish area for cooking, dining and entertaining<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the right design and amenities, outdoor kitchens can become the heart of the outdoor living space, allowing people to enjoy the beauty of nature while still enjoying the comforts of home,\u201d adds Steve Esdaile, founder of EO<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practical advantages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHosting alfresco parties and gatherings can be much more enjoyable when you have an outdoor kitchen at your disposal,\u201d Steve continues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInstead of constantly running back and forth between your indoor kitchen and garden, everything you need is right there. <\/p>

“You can prepare meals, serve drinks and socialise with your guests all in one place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From knowing which appliances to include to understanding how to maintain it, if you\u2019re keen to jump on the fresh air frying bandwagon, we spoke to the experts for our complete guide to building an outdoor kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider the cost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Lewis Jaundrell, mortgage and property specialist at Landlord Vision<\/a>, the cost of an outdoor kitchen will vary depending on size, materials, appliances and customisation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A basic setup starts around \u00a35,000 and more elaborate designs can reach \u00a320,000 or beyond.<\/p>

\u201cThis will, of course, be comprised of a plethora of factors, such as the construction, installation, labour and materials,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get the right permissions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wondering if you need any permit requirements before installing an outdoor kitchen? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully in terms of planning permission or building regulations, an outdoor kitchen is regarded as a piece of furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis makes it a piece of cake when it comes to planning your dream outdoor kitchen,\u201d explains Dougal Donald, co-founder of Grillo Outdoor Kitchens and Bars<\/a>.<\/p>

Carve out a garden kitchen corner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ideal location for an outdoor kitchen depends on several factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFirst, consider the current layout and design of your garden,\u201d advises Steve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook for any natural focal points or suitable areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For instance, you might want to choose a spot that’s ‘framed’ by plants or architectural features.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, Steve advises thinking about the proximity to your indoor space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn outdoor kitchen close to the house simplifies transferring food, utensils, and other essentials, which is beneficial if you often entertain or dine outdoors,\u201d he explains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHowever, some prefer their outdoor kitchen at the garden’s far end, creating a separate, peaceful zone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, consider protection from the elements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The ideal location for an outdoor kitchen should be\u00a0fairly well protected, either against a wall, under a permanent structure or at a lower level to the main house,” advises Jo Bull, marketing manager at K\u00f6nigOutdoor<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Think about prevailing winds, the position of the sun and the view when you\u2019re cooking up an outdoor feast.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about the practicalities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Steve, planning an outdoor kitchen requires careful consideration of the necessary utilities to ensure functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electricit<\/strong>y<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Electricity is crucial for running various appliances in your outdoor kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor safety, use armoured cables and bury them at least 600mm deep to prevent damage,\u201d he advises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEnsure all outdoor sockets are RCD protected and waterproof.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Placing your outdoor kitchen on a dedicated electrical circuit is advisable as it improves safety, guarantees efficient power supply, and allows for future expansion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBear in mind that electrical work in the garden is not covered by building regulations in England,\u201d Steve adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gas:<\/strong> Gas mains should be buried at a depth of 375mm in gardens and 450mm under paths or patios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA registered Gas Safe engineer (gassaferegister.co.uk<\/a>) must carry out the laying and connecting, in line with all current building regulations,\u201d Steve advises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Incorporating a sink into your outdoor kitchen can significantly enhance its functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo achieve this, install a water feed, typically using a flexible pipe that supplies cold water,\u201d Steve explains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you want hot water, consider installing an instant electric water heater underneath the sink.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s crucial to protect the water heater from freezing, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is typically done by using release valves and shutting off the water supply when not in use,\u201d Steve adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlue MDPE water supply pipes must be buried below the frost line, which is a minimum depth of 750mm and a maximum of 1,350mm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“These pipes should also be placed at least 350mm away from other utilities, such as gas and electricity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Additionally, you need to consider a method to isolate the water supply, allowing you to drain the pipes during winter. This is crucial, as any water left in the pipes could freeze.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waste<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Waste drainage is another crucial aspect to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIdeally, you should install a drainage point connected to the mains system for efficient waste disposal,\u201d Steve continues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf your garden is far from the main drainage, you could use a soakaway system as an alternative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ventilation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Steve says it is important to always ensure your outdoor kitchen has adequate ventilation for any barbecue or oven situated under an overhead cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou should also verify that all chosen materials have heat-retardant properties,\u201d he adds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIncorporating a back panel into the design can act as a heat barrier when cooking near combustible items, such as fences or foliage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

:Alternatively, position the cooking appliance at least 500mm away from these materials. Lastly, never install combustible materials above a cooking appliance.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Outdoor<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor kitchen must-haves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to thinking about what you want to incorporate into your outdoor kitchen, it\u2019s important to consider what you want the space to do for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHave a think about all the elements that you might find useful and convenient within your outdoor kitchen,\u201d advises Dougal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo you want a charcoal BBQ for smoky flavours and slow cooking? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Or do you need a drinks fridge, or even a sink? Would you like to host pizza parties, and therefore need a wood-fired pizza oven? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Think about what you\u2019re going to need to hand when entertaining outdoors and let that be your guide in configuring your kitchen.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose the right material<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to choosing materials, particularly when it comes to the worktop surface, consideration needs to be given to practicalities and, of course, the weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile stainless steel was once a popular choice for outdoor kitchens, it can look clinical and in recent years, consumers have favoured wood, which has more character,\u201d explains Lena Gierasinska, head of product and displays at Barker and Stonehouse<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCabinetry with a hi-tech ceramic top is very practical as it\u2019s UV, scratch, stain and extreme temperature resistant, perfect for Britain\u2019s temperamental and unpredictable climate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan Stanley, VP of marketing at Caesarstone<\/a>, says porcelain is an ideal choice for outdoor use due to its high resistance to heat, sunlight, UV and extreme weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Porcelain combines aesthetics with durability, outperforming natural stone alternatives like marble and granite \u2013 especially when it comes to withstanding the elements,” he explains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is highly resistant to heat, scratches and stains, whilst also being non-porous and simple to clean.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factor in storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When creating an outdoor kitchen, it\u2019s essential to consider the key items that will make the space functional and organised, whilst still maintaining a stylish feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe first key consideration is storage,\u201d advises Reilly Gray, Co-Founder, Suns Lifestyle<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs outdoor kitchens are generally exposed to the elements, you need to ensure you have enough storage to keep utensils, cooking supplies and equipment dry and protected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reilly suggests opting for cabinetry made from high-quality materials that are weatherproof such as stainless steel, enamelled steel and weather-resistant FSC-certified premium timber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light it up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lighting is a key addition to your outdoor kitchen design – without it, you\u2019ll be limited in how long you can use your new space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Adequate lighting is essential for both safety and ambiance – especially at night,\u201d explains Felix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInclude task lighting for cooking areas and softer lighting for dining and relaxation zones.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And remember to use lighting which has been specifically tested and approved for outdoor use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Outdoor

Don\u2019t forget about maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keeping your outdoor kitchen in prime condition is particularly important during the winter season and regular maintenance<\/a> is key to preserving your kitchen’s aesthetics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve recommends scrubbing down or pressure washing the surfaces several times a year to remove any accumulated dirt, grime or stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your outdoor kitchen is situated under spruce trees, you may encounter an additional challenge – pine tree sap, which can be acidic or alkaline and could potentially harm your kitchen surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn such cases, we suggest considering a cover for extra protection,\u201d Steve adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor your appliances, we strongly recommend using winter covers during the colder months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“These covers shield your appliances from the elements, helping prevent potential damage and maintaining their optimum condition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add in some accessories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amp up the look of your outdoor kitchen by throwing in some accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA colourful outdoor rug looks stylish and also helps to blend together the indoor and outdoor spaces,\u201d advises Lena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI also recommend displaying fresh herbs in terracotta pots on the worktops – not only will these ingredients enhance your cooking but they also to add a touch of greenery to your outdoor kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFinally, in Britain, every outdoor kitchen needs a firepit to extend evenings of alfresco dining, even after the sun has set.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Outdoor
Image Credit: Talking Tables<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Opt for a small space design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not only those with large gardens who are adding a kitchen to their outside space either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is demand for outdoor kitchens even amongst those with limited outdoor space,\u201d explains Lena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your garden is very small<\/a>, consider placing a single cabinet alongside your barbecue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis won\u2019t take up much space but will make for a practical, stress-free cooking area that\u2019s perfect for hosting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build in a bar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Adding a garden bar to the kitchen is a popular option right now, according to Dougal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere there\u2019s a BBQ, you really need a bar! A pub on your patio \u2013 what\u2019s not to love?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opt for an off-the-shelf kitchen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some modern designs have everything you could want in one outdoor kitchen structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
