A small garden shouldn't mean a small barbecue. But fitting a proper outdoor kitchen into a tight space usually means compromise, and building one from scratch takes weeks of trades. The Compact puts a gas grill, fridge, sink and storage into a pod just 2.21m wide. It turns up finished, and when it rains, you carry on.
How Much Kitchen Fits in 2.21 Metres?
More than you'd think. The Compact has a built-in 30-inch gas grill, a 21-inch drinks fridge, a stainless steel sink with a pull-out tap, Blum drawers, base cabinets and a wall-mounted storage shelf. An extended countertop with backsplash storage gives you room to prep.
So you get the same big-pod features as the larger models, in a footprint that suits a smaller patio or a corner of the garden.


What Happens When It Rains?
The front door is remote controlled. It lifts up to form a 2.2m weather canopy over you while you cook. Fully open, the pod takes up 3.2m front to back.
A shower no longer means moving everything indoors. When you've finished, the door comes down and the kitchen is closed and secure.
How Does It Look After Dark?
Waterproof COB lighting runs along the top, inner top, sides and toe kick. A 24V RGB light strip around the door changes colour by remote control.
You can see what you're cooking, and the pod looks good lit up on a summer evening.


What Is It Built From?
The pod is built from 304 stainless steel on a heavy-duty internal frame, with a powder-coated exterior. The worktop is scratch-resistant stainless steel with a rhino-skin texture.
It's made to live outside all year, and to look smart doing it. Choose Anthracite Grey, Obsidian Black or Alpine White, or any RAL colour as an upgrade.
Signature Range or Made in UK?
The Signature Range Compact is built in 10-12 weeks with a 10-year pod guarantee. The Made in UK Compact is hand-built in Wiltshire in 4-6 weeks, with a 12-year pod guarantee and almost unlimited upgrades.
Both share the same standard specification. If you'd like a TV, pizza oven or Kamado egg, we'll price it on your design call.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Base Does the Compact Need?
A level hardstanding that can carry 785 kg. We'll check your plans on your design call.
Do You Connect the Water and Electrics?
Yes, to supplies that are ready for plug-and-play. External services aren't installed, so those need to be in place before delivery.
Will It Fit Through My Side Access?
The pod arrives assembled, so it needs a flat path at least 1.2m wide from the kerb. If not, a HIAB or crane may be needed, quoted separately.
Is Delivery and Installation Included?
Yes. However, in more far-flung locations, there may be an additional fee.
Can I Add a TV to the Compact?
Yes. A TV is an optional upgrade on the Compact, along with extras like a pizza oven or Kamado egg. Upgrades are priced to your specification.
