GRLLR Connect Outdoor Kitchen Buyer's Guide: How to Choose the Right Configuration
What is the GRLLR Connect System?
If you love cooking outdoors, entertaining friends or simply making the most of your garden, a GRLLR outdoor kitchen can help transform your outdoor space into somewhere people genuinely want to spend time.
Whether it's a family barbecue on a sunny afternoon, drinks with friends on a warm summer evening or a special celebration with loved ones, outdoor kitchens have a way of bringing people together. Rather than being stuck indoors preparing food, you can stay at the heart of the conversation and enjoy the experience alongside your guests.
The GRLLR Connect range has been designed with flexibility in mind. Thanks to its modular design, you can create an outdoor kitchen that suits your space, lifestyle and budget. Start with a simple barbecue and preparation area, or build a fully equipped outdoor kitchen complete with refrigeration, storage, food preparation space and washing facilities.
One of the things we love most about the GRLLR Connect system is that it grows with you. Some customers begin with a smaller setup and add modules over time, while others create their dream outdoor kitchen from day one. Either way, the result is a space designed around the way you enjoy spending time outdoors.

Choosing the Right GRLLR Outdoor Kitchen
One of the things we love most about the GRLLR Connect range is that there isn't a one size fits all solution. Every garden, family and entertaining style is different, which is exactly why the modular system works so well.
Some customers are looking for a simple outdoor cooking space where they can enjoy a weekend barbecue with family, while others want to create a fully equipped outdoor kitchen complete with refrigeration, food preparation areas and plenty of space for hosting friends.
The best place to start is by thinking about how you would like to use your outdoor space. Are you looking for a compact kitchen for everyday family meals, a larger setup for entertaining, or a complete outdoor living area where cooking becomes part of the social experience?
Below, we've highlighted a few popular ways customers use the GRLLR Connect system to help inspire your own outdoor kitchen project.
For Smaller Gardens and Patios
Not everyone has space for a large outdoor kitchen, and that's one of the reasons the GRLLR Connect system is so popular. If you're working with a smaller patio or garden, you can still create a stylish outdoor cooking area without overwhelming the space.
A compact GRLLR setup can provide everything you need for relaxed family meals, weekend barbecues and summer evenings outdoors. Starting with a barbecue module and a small amount of preparation or storage space is often more than enough for everyday use, and the beauty of the modular system is that additional units can be added later if your needs change.
For many customers, starting small is the perfect way to begin creating an outdoor space that encourages people to spend more time together outdoors.
For Serious Outdoor Living Enthusiasts
For those who love entertaining, outdoor cooking and making the most of their garden throughout the year, a larger GRLLR outdoor kitchen can become the centrepiece of the entire outdoor space.
Combining multiple modules allows you to create dedicated areas for cooking, food preparation, refrigeration, storage and serving guests. Many customers choose larger L shaped or U shaped layouts to create a natural gathering space where family and friends can relax while food is being prepared.
A fully equipped outdoor kitchen isn't just about cooking outdoors. It's about creating a space where people can spend quality time together, whether that's a summer barbecue, a birthday celebration or simply enjoying a relaxed evening in the garden.
The modular design of the GRLLR Connect range means your kitchen can be tailored to suit both your available space and the way you enjoy spending time outdoors.
Straight Outdoor Kitchens
Straight outdoor kitchens are often the perfect choice for customers who want a clean, streamlined layout without taking up too much garden or patio space.
These configurations can be an excellent introduction to outdoor cooking while still providing plenty of preparation and storage space. They also work particularly well against walls, fences and patio edges, helping to maximise the available space.
At Sal's Place, we've found that straight kitchen layouts appeal to customers looking for a practical and stylish outdoor cooking area that can grow with their needs over time. Many customers start with a straight configuration before adding additional modules in the future.
Whether you're planning relaxed family meals, weekend barbecues or entertaining friends on summer evenings, a straight GRLLR outdoor kitchen offers a flexible starting point for creating an outdoor space you'll enjoy for years to come.
L-Shaped Outdoor Kitchens
L shaped outdoor kitchens are a popular choice for customers who enjoy entertaining and want to create a more social outdoor cooking space.
The additional layout space helps separate cooking, preparation and serving areas, making it easier to cook while still being part of the conversation. Many customers find that an L shaped kitchen creates a natural focal point for family gatherings, barbecues and outdoor entertaining.
An L shaped configuration also offers more flexibility when adding extra modules such as refrigeration, storage and food preparation areas, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy spending lots of time outdoors.
For many gardens, an L shaped layout provides the perfect balance between practicality, entertaining space and visual impact.
U-Shaped Outdoor Kitchens
For those looking to create the ultimate outdoor entertaining space, a U shaped outdoor kitchen offers the most workspace, storage and social interaction.
The wraparound design creates dedicated zones for cooking, food preparation, serving and entertaining, making it ideal for larger gardens and customers who regularly host family gatherings, celebrations and summer get togethers.
One of the biggest advantages of a U shaped kitchen is that everything is within easy reach, helping to create a practical and enjoyable cooking experience while keeping guests close by.
A U shaped layout can also make a real statement in the garden, creating a dedicated outdoor living space that encourages people to relax, connect and enjoy spending time together.
If you love entertaining and want to create a true outdoor kitchen experience, a U shaped configuration is well worth considering.
Most Popular GRLLR Kitchen
One of the advantages of selling GRLLR outdoor kitchens is seeing how different customers choose to build their perfect setup. While every garden and lifestyle is different, certain combinations have proven particularly popular.
Many customers choose to combine refrigeration, preparation and cooking areas to create a practical outdoor space that works just as well for everyday family meals as it does for entertaining guests.
A popular approach is to include a cooling unit, fridge and sink alongside the cooking area. This provides convenient access to chilled drinks, food preparation space and washing facilities, helping to reduce trips back and forth to the house while entertaining.
For customers with larger gardens, additional storage and preparation modules can be added to create a more complete outdoor kitchen experience.
The beauty of the GRLLR Connect system is that there is no single "right" configuration. Whether you're creating a compact outdoor cooking area or a fully equipped outdoor entertaining space, the modular design allows you to build a kitchen that works for you.
Build Your Own GRLLR Kitchen
One of the reasons the GRLLR Connect range is so popular is the flexibility it offers. While many customers choose one of our pre configured kitchen layouts, others prefer to design a kitchen that's completely tailored to their own space and lifestyle.
Every module within the GRLLR Connect range is designed to work together, allowing you to create a layout that suits both your garden and the way you enjoy cooking and entertaining outdoors.
Whether you're looking for additional storage, food preparation space, refrigeration, a sink or a larger cooking area, modules can be combined to create a kitchen that meets your exact requirements.
Many customers begin with a smaller setup and add further modules over time, while others prefer to invest in a complete outdoor kitchen from the outset.
If you're unsure where to start, we're always happy to help you explore the available options and create a GRLLR outdoor kitchen that's right for your space.
