Why Outdoor Kitchens Are Stealing the Show – And Why Shire Outdoor Kitchens Should Be Your First Call for the Heart of Your Garden

The 2025 RHS Chelsea Flower Show once again set the benchmark for outdoor living inspiration, with garden designers embracing a clear trend: outdoor kitchens are no longer just a luxury – they're fast becoming a must-have feature.

From the lush, Mediterranean vibes of The Hamptons Garden to the highly functional, plot-to-plate ethos of The Savills Garden, outdoor kitchens took centre stage. These spaces aren't just about cooking; they're about lifestyle, experience, and seamlessly blending the indoors with the outdoors.

So, why the surge in popularity?

Outdoor kitchens offer an elevated way to enjoy the garden year-round. They create a natural gathering point for family and friends, transforming a simple BBQ into a full-scale al fresco dining experience. And with climate resilience and sustainability at the forefront of modern design, growing and cooking from your own garden has never been more appealing.

This is where Shire Outdoor Kitchens step in.
