Cost guide
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost?
Priced on the design, from a built-in grill to a full covered kitchen. Here is what shapes it.
In short
An outdoor kitchen covers a wide range, from a built-in grill and a run of worktop to a full second kitchen under a covered structure, so it is priced on the design rather than a single rate. The cost is driven by the cabinetry, the worktop, the appliances, the utilities and any shelter such as a pergola roof. We design it around how you actually cook and entertain, and set out the cost clearly.

It costs more than a barbecue because it is closer to fitting a kitchen than buying an
