We've always believed your garden should be an extension of your home — somewhere you actually want to spend time, not just somewhere you store the garden chairs. That's why we're genuinely thrilled to introduce something brand new to Ocean Designs: outdoor kitchens.
Meet the Avellino and Barletta ranges. Two modular outdoor kitchen collections built for people who take their outdoor living seriously.
What Makes These Ranges Special?
Both the Avellino and Barletta are constructed from reclaimed teak and finished with a ceramic worktop — and the choice of those two materials isn't accidental.
Teak has been the gold standard for outdoor furniture for a long time, and for good reason. It's exceptionally strong, naturally resistant to weathering and decay, and requires very little maintenance. Leave it to age and it develops a beautiful silver-grey patina. Treat it with a protective oil and it holds that rich, warm tone for years. Either way, it handles the British climate without complaint — which, let's be honest, is a non-negotiable.
The ceramic worktop takes things up another level. It's scratch resistant, stain resistant, and can handle temperatures up to 100°C — meaning you can put a hot pan straight from the BBQ onto the surface without a second thought. It's also remarkably easy to clean, which matters when you're cooking outdoors and things inevitably get a bit messy.
Finishing touches matter too. Both ranges feature galvanised hinges and soft-close doors — the kind of detail that tells you this has been built with longevity and daily use in mind, not just looks.
Build Your Own or Start With a Set
The real power of both ranges is in their modularity. You're not locked into one layout or configuration — you choose the units that work for your space and your lifestyle.
The available units across both ranges include BBQ stations, wine racks, integrated fridges, sinks, coffee bars, open storage, islands, and more. If you know exactly what you want, you can piece it together unit by unit. If you'd rather have a starting point, we also offer a selection of pre-configured sets that make the process straightforward without sacrificing flexibility.
Avellino vs Barletta — What's the Difference?
Both ranges share the same core materials and build quality, but each has its own character. The Barletta leans into a more structured, classic aesthetic — clean lines, robust proportions, and a kitchen feel that's considered and cohesive. The Avellino brings a slightly more contemporary edge, including standout pieces like the bar station on wheels, which expands from a compact 150cm footprint to a full 200cm entertaining station — complete with integrated basin. It's the kind of unit that becomes the centrepiece of a garden gathering.
Both are fully recyclable, built using responsibly sourced reclaimed timber, and designed with sustainability at their core — because creating a beautiful outdoor space shouldn't come at a cost to the environment.
Is an Outdoor Kitchen Right for You?
If you love entertaining outdoors, cook on the BBQ regularly, or simply want to make more of your garden as a living space rather than just a place to sit — an outdoor kitchen is genuinely transformative. It removes the constant back-and-forth to the house, gives you proper prep space and storage, and creates a focal point that the whole garden can be designed around.
Both the Avellino and Barletta are available now at Ocean Designs, with free delivery included and a dedicated two-person delivery team to make sure everything arrives safely and is placed exactly where you need it.
