There is nothing like the Theatre of cooking over flames and embers, and the amazing flavours that you can create. That’s what The Somerset Grill Company are all about – making it easy to cook with fire, using great looking Grills to create amazing outdoor feasts for family and friends.
Specifying a Somerset Grill as the centrepiece of larger outdoor kitchen designs really offers the complete cooking solution. With 12 different cooking zones, it replaces gas barbecue, pizza oven and slow cooker all in one quality British made Grill.
Available in two sizes – Asado for 6-10 people, or larger Grande, with twin cooking decks and up to 20 people. These both come in 3 finishes – gunmetal oiled mild steel, pre-rusted CorTen and new for 2026, full Stainless steel.
The main benefits the Grills provide over other wood-fired options are:
- Easy temperature control through winding a handle up and down
- Continuous ember supply for longer cooks through the inbuilt ember maker at the rear
- Easy cleaning and de-ashing via full width front door
These are all designed to be built into all sorts of outdoor kitchen projects – the case studies that follow can provide inspiration. We work with garden designers, outdoor kitchen builders and landscape architects to provide an Outdoor Kitchen centrepiece that will Wow your clients.
We can provide SketchUp files for all Grills, so you can incorporate them into designs and visuals. Delivery to site is easy too – Grills are delivered (usually from stock) fully assembled on pallets, on a specific day for the project.
Let’s look at a few case studies:
Outdoor canopy Kitchen – Guy Galpin Projects
This project used our best-selling Gunmetal Asado as the centrepiece for a unique curved canopy and outdoor kitchen. Positioning the Grill against the back wall and including a chimney creates a focal point, and the practical layout around it
Stunning Garden Room Kitchen
This superb outdoor kitchen Garden Room elevates al fresco cooking and dining to new heights. Incorporating the larger Grande in Gunmetal, the twin grill surfaces enable two different temperature regimes at once, and cooking capacity for up to 20 guests in real style
Beautiful Garden setting – Formosa Landscapes
A simple build in of our Grande Gunmetal grill into a completely outdoor kitchen in a tranquil new garden project. Easy access for adding logs to keep the embers flowing, and simple heat control by turning the twin axles to move the cooking grills up and down – which ranges from 40-400C, depending on height and ember depth.
Practical considerations:
Using live fire does present some different risks and challenges, but by following these key guidelines, they are suitable for most settings:
- Take care with thatch nearby – sparks can be a risk when the embers burn down.
- Avoid wooden backwalls – use a metal sheet or tile wall behind
- Don’t use plastic canopies or wooden roofs lower than 1.5M above the cooking surface
- In very enclosed areas or garden rooms, consider powered extraction
- Suitable for use in all DEFRA Clean air zones, except when a chimney is added!
