If you love to entertain friends and family in your garden, a great BBQ area is essential!
We’ve compiled a list of what we think are the top 50 ideas for incorporating a BBQ Grill space into your backyard for those summer parties.
Let’s jump in!
1. Cedar BBQ area
Wood is the first choice when preparing your garden for the BBQ season. Add a roof cover so you can still BBQ if the great British weather decides to take a turn for the worse.
And spotlights mean you can carry on cooking after dark!
2. Long modern BBQ area
If you have the space, you could build a whole outdoor kitchen with work surfaces and a sink. You could even have matching planters to tie it in with the garden.
3. Enclosed wooden BBQ area
Or if you’re short on space, create a cosy area on your patio for your gas BBQ so you can have your friends over for a grill.
4. Aerial marble BBQ
This modern, freestanding design adds an appealing corner to your house that’s dedicated to cooking and relaxing with friends.
5. Outdoor bar with BBQ
An outdoor bar area is perfect for serving lovely family meals, and some drinks along with them.
6. Outdoor cedar mini kitchen
You don’t need much space to build yourself a kitchen outdoors. This cute, compact version has everything you need for BBQs and parties to save you going back and forth to the house.

When talking about practicality, nothing beats concrete. You can shape it any way you like and it’s easy to maintain, plus it provides a modern finish to your outdoor cooking station.
8. Secret BBQ area
When the door is closed, it just looks like a storage room in your garden. But open it up, and the magic begins!
Plus the door will protect your cooking area from the elements when you’re not using it.
9. Wood and plants
Add some soft lighting to set the mood, so your cooking area can become an amazing place to enjoy at night. This is a perfect setting for hosting the perfect BBQ party!
10. Simple BBQ and bar
You don’t need a huge setup for your charcoal BBQ and a small bar to sit and have some drinks with your meal.
