From a simple family barbecue area to a full-sized kitchen suitable for large parties, our solid wood Trent kitchen cabinets provide the perfect place to prepare, cook and serve food. The units also include valuable storage space for barbecue utensils, charcoal and outdoor cooking equipment, making impromptu events a breeze.

The benefits of an outdoor kitchen

Outdoor kitchens add a luxury feel to any courtyard or garden. But more importantly, they provide a special place in which to spend quality time with friends and family. Cooking and eating outdoors is one of life’s simplest pleasures. Children especially enjoy preparing food in this way!

If the best evening sun is at the far end of your garden, up a steep flight of steps, or on a roof terrace, dragging bbq equipment backwards and forwards can be a real chore. A well-organised outdoor kitchen makes entertaining a pleasure, even for last-minute meals.

How to landscape your outdoor kitchen

Try ‘zoning’ your outdoor kitchen with planters or raised beds. Imagine a Mediterranean-style terrace surrounded by ornamental veg, exotic fruits and fragrant herbs. You could throw homegrown slices of aubergine and pepper straight onto a warm griddle while sipping your favourite cocktail.

If you want to give your outdoor kitchen a more intimate feel, cover the area with a wooden pergola or gazebo. Train the structure with twinkling string lights and scented jasmine for warm summer evenings or try elegant wisteria for an English country garden feel. You could even grow grape vines for a fun talking point.

Outdoor kitchens – more info

Trent Outdoor Kitchens from Waltons are backed by a 15-year anti-rot guarantee. Manufactured in the UK from sustainable pressure-treated timber, our modular units are designed to last. The stainless steel worktops give the outdoor kitchen cabinets an attractive finish, and provide a safe, easy-to-clean surface on which to prepare and serve food.

Do I need planning permission for an outdoor kitchen?

Outdoor kitchens aren’t permanent structures so they don’t usually need planning permission, although it’s a good idea to check if you live in a conservation area or a listed building.

How do you build an outdoor kitchen?

The most versatile option is to buy individual outdoor kitchen units that can be slotted together and moved around. Waltons outdoor kitchen units are modular, making them easy to reconfigure into different layouts as required. If you live in a rental property or move house, simply take them with you.

Do outdoor kitchens need to be covered?

Trent outdoor kitchen cabinets from Waltons are designed to stay outside all year round, although they’re also portable enough to move into a garage over winter should you prefer. Constructed from sustainable, pressure treated timber, the solid wood cabinets will withstand the worst of British weather while the stainless steel tops are easy to clean and give the units a striking, contemporary edge.

If you prefer not to be at the mercy of the elements, a log cabin with covered patio area provides a permanent home for your outdoor kitchen. Sheltered from rain, this clever structure allows you to cook and entertain whatever the weather.
