Transform Your Garden with a Custom Outdoor Kitchen
Over the past few years, more and more homeowners have been looking to take their cooking and entertaining outdoors. The rise of outdoor kitchens reflects a growing desire to enjoy gardens to the fullest, whether for family meals, entertaining friends, or simply relaxing in style.
With a bespoke outdoor kitchen, you can extend your living space, create a focal point in your garden, and enjoy cooking in a functional, beautiful setting. From built-in BBQs and pizza ovens to full prep areas and storage solutions, an outdoor kitchen makes cooking social, enjoyable, and convenient.
I specialise in designing custom outdoor kitchens tailored to your space, style, and lifestyle. With Food & Fire Outdoor Living, I can help you turn your garden into a practical and stylish cooking and dining environment.
Why Choose an Outdoor Kitchen
An outdoor kitchen offers far more than additional cooking space. It makes entertaining effortless, allowing you to host dinner parties, casual BBQs, or family gatherings without being confined to the indoors. It enhances the flow between your home and garden, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. A well-designed outdoor kitchen can also significantly increase the value of your property while elevating your lifestyle, offering the chance to enjoy cooking, dining, and socialising in a natural, relaxed setting.
Types of Outdoor Kitchens
​
I design a wide range of outdoor kitchens to suit different spaces, lifestyles, and personal preferences. Some clients prefer a built-in BBQ area, which is ideal for traditional grilling and casual alfresco dining, offering a simple yet elegant setup that blends seamlessly into the garden.
​
Others opt for a full cooking station, complete with ovens, hobs, sinks, and generous preparation space, allowing them to create restaurant-quality meals outdoors while still enjoying the comfort of home. For those who enjoy a more rustic, social experience, pizza or bread ovens are a popular choice, perfect for gatherings where friends and family can cook together and enjoy the warmth and charm of a wood-fired oven. I also create bar and entertainment areas that serve as both a cooking zone and a social hub, combining seating, serving surfaces, and integrated appliances to make entertaining effortless. Every outdoor kitchen I design is tailored to work naturally within the layout of your garden, taking into account its size, shape, and style, so that the final space feels harmonious, practical, and visually stunning.
​
Materials and Features
Selecting the right materials is key to creating an outdoor kitchen that is both stylish and long-lasting. I work with natural stone and porcelain to achieve sleek, modern surfaces, or brick and blockwork for traditional or rustic designs. Timber elements, such as pergolas, can provide shaded seating or dining areas, and I incorporate high-quality appliances including grills, hobs, sinks, and storage. Using these materials ensures your outdoor kitchen will not only look beautiful but be built to withstand the elements.
My Design Process
I will draw to scale two colour Concept Plans with 3D imagery and walk through animations which will provide you with two different concept designs.
These I will share with you as PDF files there is a link on them to the walk through animations.
​
I will ask you to select your preferred design noting any alterations required. The amended concept plan will be produced from the selected plan incorporating any agreed alterations. Once you are happy with the amendments I will draw the garden layout plans​
​Kitchen Layout Plans
These plan details all the elements, features and materials that will be used in the construction of your outdoor kitchen / fireplace.
This is a true to scale plan and therefore shows the true proportions of your designed kitchen.
With each design I also provide an animated walk through for your kitchen design to enable you to get a real sense of the feel and space of your new outdoor kitchen.
Again these will be sent to you as PDF file with the animation attached.
