Outdoor Kitchen Cambridge
Outdoor Kitchen – Al fresco dining at its best!
Outdoor Kitchens can be as simple as an outdoor barbeque, or as elaborate as you desire, with a grill, cooker, sink, fridge, and bar, complete with seating and an all-weather cover. We all appreciate, and use our outdoor space more, following the confines of the pandemic. So make the most of yours, add value to your property and enjoy your garden for longer.
As these are not considered to be a permanent structure, they would not normally require planning permission. However, if you live in a listed property, or conservation area you may wish to check with your council. We can advise you accordingly, regarding this.

To bring the inside out into the garden, decide what you would like. Don’t be left indoors, washing salad, and fetching drinks. Be part of the party and have everything on hand, whether you are entertaining or just with your family.
Our expert landscape designer and team can assist with ideas, drawing up plans, arranging material samples, and bringing your outdoor kitchen to life. With our 3D designs, you can envisage your project, before it is even built.
Naturally the size of your new outdoor kitchen depends on the space you have available, what you would like to include, and your budget.
You may feel that a beautiful little corner with pretty seating and a barbeque, surrounded by attractive scented planting, is all that you desire. We can help you create just that!

Are you considering where you will position your new kitchen? Are you overlooked ? Do you need some soft or hard screening? Is it a windy corner? Do you need some shelter? Consider how far you will be from the house, is there a view to take advantage of? Thus, our Landscaping Cambridge team will have plenty of suggestions to help you overcome any obstacles, and make the most of the area you have.
Choose your base
Porcelain tiles are an attractive choice, easy to keep clean and do not stain easily. Or you may prefer stone paving or a decking base, all of which come in many colours and finishes to suit your style. In addition, there are even some patterned tiles to choose from to brighten up the area.
You are outdoors
You do not necessarily need to have a roof, but we all know our unpredictable British weather. So, you may prefer one of the new state of the art pergolas. These sleek steel structures have louvred or retractable canopies, fully waterproof if it should rain, or they can be opened to allow the suns rays through. In addition, there are many styles to choose from and they are a stunning addition to any outdoor space.
Alternatively, you could have a wooden pergola, with scented climbing plants, or roses, or a patio umbrella. The options are endless.
When you have decided what to incorporate in your kitchen, grill, oven, pizza oven, sink, fridge, cupboards, shelving etc. you can design your workbench to include these. In conclusion, the options are numerous. As to which materials to use, wood, concrete blocks, cladding to match the paving or surrounding garden features, the list is endless. The tops, again, can be co-ordinated with your surroundings. Bear in mind these are outdoors all year round, and should be weatherproof, easy to keep clean and durable. A granite work top, for instance, is a stunning addition to any kitchen – indoor or out. In other words, wood has a lovely rustic appearance, but naturally requires more maintenance, while stainless steel is very smart and easy to care for.

Obviously, if you are incorporating an electric oven, lighting or a sink you must also consider the basics of providing electricity to the area, and water (maybe just cold water?) including plumbing. Our expert landscaping team can take all this in their stride, and install everything for you.
A table or Bar area can be built to match the work benches, and seating can also be incorporated with solid or wooden benches, around a table or bar, with matching tops or cladding.
In addition, seating is a must – will this be a dining space with table and chairs or an outdoor bar with stools? What about a relaxing sofa, sunbed or benches?
Heating may also be a consideration; would you like to include a fire pit or install a patio heater?
The final touch to an outdoor space is usually the lighting, which makes all the difference in the evening. And can change the feel of the area to a sparkling party feel or soft romantic lighting – you choose.
If this is part of a larger project, we can assist with that too. Water features, garden structures, lawns, flower beds, driveways, paths and patios….. we delight in transforming plain, dreary, unloved spaces into beautiful gardens full of attractive features. This is appealing for you, to spend more time outdoors with family and friends.
To sum up, our Landscaping team can assist all the way, with ideas, providing material samples, to help you select the best products. By creating your dream outdoor kitchen, it’s just the way you want it!
