Summer Kitchens

A summer kitchen is an outdoor kitchen designed for the way we live outside when the weather turns warm — cooking, eating and entertaining in the garden, on the terrace or by the pool. The term is used interchangeably with “outdoor kitchen”, and the best examples are far more than a barbecue on wheels: a complete, fixed cooking and living space with a grill, worktop, storage and often a sink and fridge.

A Baxalt summer kitchen is built to a premium standard and engineered to stay outside all year — so it earns its place well beyond summer.

What makes a great summer kitchen

A summer kitchen should let you prepare a full meal outdoors without trips back to the indoor kitchen. That means a serious cooking source — Baxalt designs around a gas BBQ with four burners and an infrared rear burner — alongside worktop space, a stainless steel sink, a fridge and integrated storage, all in one coherent design.

Just as important is build quality. A summer kitchen made from a galvanised steel structure and 304 stainless steel cabinets, finished with a sintered stone or stainless worktop, resists heat, UV and moisture and keeps its looks season after season.

A summer kitchen built for every season

Many “summer” kitchens are really fair-weather accessories that need covering up in autumn. Baxalt takes the opposite view: the kitchen is a permanent installation that stays outside through sun, rain, frost and salt air, with no covers and no seasonal storage.

You configure yours in real-time 3D — size, frame colour, cabinet finish, worktop and accessories — and your local showroom handles delivery and a one-day installation.

Frequently asked questions

What is a summer kitchen?

A summer kitchen is an outdoor kitchen built for cooking and entertaining outside — typically a fixed structure combining a grill or burners with worktop space, storage and often a sink and fridge. It is the same concept as an outdoor kitchen, designed to serve as a true second kitchen in the garden, on a terrace or by the pool.

Is a summer kitchen the same as an outdoor kitchen?

Yes. “Summer kitchen” and “outdoor kitchen” describe the same thing. The name “summer kitchen” simply emphasises warm-weather use, but a well-built one — like a Baxalt — is weatherproof and can be used all year.

Can a summer kitchen be used in winter?

A genuinely weatherproof summer kitchen can. Baxalt kitchens are built from galvanised and stainless steel with weather-rated worktops, so they stay outside and remain usable through every season without covers or storage.
