    We are very pleased with the outdoor kitchen supplied by David Barnes and All About Outdoor Living. David was of great assistance during the design phase, working with us to review different options and 3D models in our space. He recommended thoughtful options on design, materials and appliances, which now looks great in our garden.

    David and Scott were absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. The quality of work is second to none, and David is particularly good at advising what will work best for your space and the best components BBQ/Fridge etc to use. Having done so many similar projects they know exactly what tile and granite combinations work best which takes away the stress of deciding. Having had a lots of building work done in the past it was refreshing to witness the project delivered on time and on budget with zero stress. Simple things like materials turning up when we were told they would turn up make a huge difference in this industry. Overall, we have been very impressed and would recommend to anyone looking to have an outside kitchen built for the summer! They really know what they are doing (this is what they do) and are very personable, transparent and easy to do deal with.

    I highly recommend All About Outdoor Living. Everything was so easy from start to finish. Supplied and fitted a beautiful pergola. The workmanship from David and Scott was exceptional. Plus two really lovely guys. It was such a pleasure to do business with a company who actually do what they say they will do, and put the cusomer first, very rare these days. You will be in good hands with them.

    Couldn’t recommend David and Gavin and their teams highly enough. From start to finish took 2 months with our outdoor patio and kitchen designed and completed on time and in budget in spite of finding an old swimming pool underground which they had to deal with. Great guys to work with and respectful of your property.
    So happy with the outdoor kitchen and island that David designed and built for us. Super efficient and very high quality finish. The team were friendly and hard working and went out of their way to do a great job. Highly recommend this company

    David and his team were excellent and helping me install a bbq onto a work surface. I was so impressed with their work that they have completely 3 other jobs for me (brickwork, glass alignment and guttering) and I have asked them to quote on another job.

    We couldn't be happier with our installation by All About Outdoor Living. We had a very particular vision for a really awkward space that was executed perfectly. From the initial design consultation to the final finishing touches, the entire process was seamless and stress-free. Bill who led the groundworks was great to work with. With lots of challenges due to root systems, mature trees/shrubs, drainage issues and uneven ground, Bill and his team worked meticulously to lay porcelain patios, paths and turf, providing solutions for everything. David, Dale and Dean bought the whole space to life with a stunning, bespoke wooden pergola that is a structural statement in itself. And they fabricated an angled kitchen on site with water and power supply, to boldly frame and define a space where nothing is level or convenient. They were a joy to have around, and gave all the attention to detail you could want. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and the materials used are not only durable but also visually stunning. Our family and friends are truly impressed with the results and we would recommend them in an instant. Cooking and entertaining outdoors has never been this enjoyable. Thank you, All About Outdoor Living, for creating our dream outdoor kitchen space.

    An excellent experience from start to finish. David is very experienced in terms of site position, planning, seeing potential problems and finding good cost effective solutions. Dale and Dean were a pleasure to have working on site. As a family, we love our outdoor kitchen and cannot recommend it enough. The blinds and pivoting roof makes it a useable space for all seasons. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend David and his team to anyone.
