Where Should You Put Your Outdoor Kitchen

Where should you put your outdoor kitchen? Well, here’s what to consider.

There are two main schools of thought when deciding where to place your outdoor kitchen.

The first is close to the house — on your main patio or terrace. This makes it easy to bring food out and take dishes back in, creating a natural flow and an extension of your indoor kitchen.

It’s also ideal for British weather, giving you quick access indoors if it starts to rain.

The second option is to place it on a secondary entertaining terrace, deeper into the garden. This creates a dedicated social space away from the house — perfect if you want to keep noise and smoke separate.

It can also turn an underused part of the garden into a standout feature and destination.

No matter where you put it, make sure it’s properly equipped:

  • Electricity for lighting and appliances
  • A fridge to keep food and drinks fresh
  • A sink for easy cleaning
  • Plenty of durable worktop space to prep food and drinks
  • And good storage — so you’re not constantly running back indoors.

Think carefully about how you actually use, or want to use, your space — it’s all about convenience versus entertainment. The best gardens make both work seamlessly.
