Outdoor Kitchen in Acle, Norfolk Broads

This garden at the edge of The Broads features a both a Grillo Outdoor Kitchen and a Grillo Pergola (currently only available in the UK). The matching heavy-gauge aluminium construction and marine-grade finish work perfectly together, and the resulting year-round living space works perfectly for both residents of the house:

“It looks great – love it. But to be honest, it’s [my husband’s] toy… it keeps him out of my kitchen. He can make a mess in this kitchen instead of mine, so I’m happy!”

The pergola’s headline features are fairly obvious – a powerful IR heater, fully-motorised blinds and louvres, internal lighting, and a matching textured coating and colour. But it’s the features you don’t see that set it apart – things like heavy-duty galvanised steel corner and leg bracing, where many a budget option has none; internal guttering, where others drain straight into the leg; an absence of visible fixings, even at the base of the leg; a Beaufort 12 (73+mph) wind rating on the structure; and many other features drawn from Caribbean Blinds UK’s decades of experience building pergolas. The Grillo kitchen backs this quality-first approach with a 10 year warranty on cabinetry. This is an outdoor living space ready to party – year in, year out.
