Solo Chef Outdoor Kitchen

A complete single-unit outdoor kitchen built around a Kamado grill, so you get real fire-cooked flavour without needing a big garden or a full modular build.

Most outdoor kitchens ask for more space than a lot of gardens have to give. The Solo Chef gets round that by putting everything you need — grill, worktop and storage — into one compact unit. You still get proper fire-cooked cooking, just without the sprawling layout.

How Does The Kamado Grill Work?

The Kamado is an egg-shaped ceramic-style grill built into the unit, with a spring-hinge lid, adjustable regulator cap and multi-level internal rack. It handles everything from low-and-slow roasting to high-heat stone-baked pizza.

Because you can control airflow precisely, you get consistent heat without babysitting the grill — useful whether you're cooking for one or hosting a few people.

What Makes The Worktop Different?

The worktop is Neolith sintered stone, available in Nero Riverwash or Barro Satin. It's a hard-wearing surface designed to handle everyday outdoor cooking without marking.

It's scratch-resistant and keeps its finish over time, so you're not left touching up or replacing the worktop after a season or two outside.

How Sturdy Is The Build?

The Solo Chef is built from carbon steel with a powder-coated finish. It's manufactured in Spain, where the modules are put together to hold up outdoors long-term.

It's built to last through British weather, year after year, rather than needing to be covered up or stored away every winter.

What Storage Does It Include?

A 65cm cabinet sits alongside the grill, with soft-close doors and hinges built in as standard.

It's somewhere to keep tools, fuel or accessories close to hand, and the soft-close cabinetry means no slamming doors when you're moving quickly between courses.

Can You Customise The Layout?

The Solo Chef can be ordered as shown, or adjusted by adding or removing individual modules to suit your space.

Suns Lifestyle offer a free digital design sketch of your chosen layout before you commit, with unlimited changes until it's right for you.

Does It Work With A Pergola?

Yes — The Solo Chef is sized to sit under any of the Suns Luxe Pergola range, so you can cover it and cook outdoors whatever the weather's doing.

It's a straightforward way to build a proper outdoor cooking space in stages, starting with the kitchen and adding shelter when you're ready.

Specification

FAQ

Will The Solo Chef Fit My Garden?

It's a compact single unit at 152cm long, 91cm deep and 126cm high, so it needs less space than a full modular kitchen layout. Check your available space against these dimensions before ordering.

What Do I Need To Do Before Installation?

The unit needs a solid, level base such as concrete or patio, with proper drainage, and any groundwork completed beforehand. The unit is 70cm deep and delivered fully assembled, so clear access to the installation area is needed too — check for narrow spaces, tight turns or steps in advance.

Is It Fixed In Place Or Can I Move It Later?

Units are dry-fitted — positioned and levelled rather than permanently fixed — so there's room for future adjustment if your layout changes.

Will It Hold Up In UK Weather?

Yes. It's built from carbon steel with a powder-coated finish, designed to handle British weather year-round without needing to be packed away.

What Warranty Does It Come With?

Suns Lifestyle offer a warranty tiered by component:

• Lifetime: stainless steel chassis, cooking grates, cast stainless steel burners, structural components
• 5 years: stainless steel burners, cooking plates, heat distribution components, flavour grids
• 3 years: brass valves, manifold assemblies, infrared burners, inner liners

Yes — modules can be added or removed to suit your space. Suns Lifestyle provide a free digital design sketch of your layout first, with unlimited changes before you commit.
