Create Your Perfect Outside Kitchen with a Broadview Pergola
Since the pandemic transformed how we use our homes, outdoor living has never been more popular. One standout trend that continues to grow is the outdoor kitchen pergola – combining stylish pergolas with fully equipped alfresco cooking areas. More UK homeowners are embracing the idea of dining, entertaining, and cooking outdoors, all under the elegant shelter of a pergola outdoor kitchen.
At Broadview, we’ve seen demand for outdoor kitchen pergola installations soar. Clients are moving beyond simple barbeques, wanting robust, year-round solutions that integrate seamlessly into their garden spaces. If you're considering a pergola for outdoor kitchen setups, read on to see why it's the ultimate home upgrade.
Why Choose a Pergola for Your Outdoor Kitchen?
An outdoor kitchen and pergola is more than just an aesthetic upgrade – it’s a functional, lifestyle-enhancing feature that transforms your garden into an all-weather cooking and entertaining zone.
Shelter from the Elements
A pergola with outdoor kitchen ensures you can cook and dine in comfort, whatever the unpredictable British weather throws at you. Our louvred roof systems let you adjust light and ventilation while offering full rain protection when closed.
Defined, Stylish Cooking Zones
A pergola with kitchen creates an architectural frame for your outdoor cooking space, giving your garden clear zoning between dining, relaxing, and cooking. It enhances the flow of your garden and adds a premium, resort-style feel.
Entertaining All Year Round
Thanks to built-in heaters, retractable screens, and ambient lighting, a pergola outdoor kitchen allows you to entertain well into the evening and across all seasons – something a standalone outdoor kitchen simply can’t match.
Key Features That Make Pergolas Perfect for Alfresco Kitchens
We help homeowners, designers, and venues create the perfect outdoor kitchen pergola by integrating a range of features designed to make your space as practical as it is beautiful.
Louvred Roof Systems
Our pergola and outdoor kitchen setups feature louvred roofs that can rotate up to 150 degrees, giving you complete control over sunlight, ventilation, and shelter. Rain sensors can even close the roof automatically at the first sign of drizzle.
Built-in LED Lighting
Customisable RGB or white LED lights turn your outdoor kitchen pergola into an inviting evening dining hub. Cook under the stars while enjoying the perfect ambiance with fully dimmable lighting.
Sliding Glass Walls and Roller Screens
For UK climates, enclosing your outdoor kitchen with pergola structures using sliding glass or roller screens is the smart way to protect appliances, furniture, and guests from wind and rain.
Integrated Heating
Heaters integrated into the pergola structure mean you can grill, roast, and entertain even in winter months – making your pergola outdoor kitchen a true all-year-round space.
Outdoor Kitchen Pergola Inspiration in the UK
Across the UK, we’ve helped countless clients enhance their gardens with outdoor kitchen pergolas. From compact city courtyards to sprawling country gardens, the options are endless.
In a recent project, we installed a bespoke B200XL pergola over their outdoor kitchen for a homeowner in the south. By combining a sleek aluminium pergola with sliding glass panels and a fully equipped kitchen – including a pizza oven, BBQ station, and wine fridge – we created a luxurious, weatherproof garden kitchen that could be enjoyed all year round.
