The style suits older houses and any garden with room for planting.

About this collection
English Cottage Kitchen Ideas, explained.
English cottage kitchens look like they have always been there: informal borders that spill over brick paths, climbing roses on an arbour or a shed, clipped box for a little structure, and stone, brick and painted timber that age gracefully. The style suits older houses and any garden with room for planting.
The trick is structure under the abundance — a clear path, an axis, a hedge or wall to plant against. Save the kitchen designs whose bones you can see through the flowers.
Cottage outdoor kitchens are small and charming. Look for a brick or reclaimed-timber base, a butcher-block or stone counter, a pizza oven or simple grill, herbs in pots along the counter and climbing roses or wisteria on an arbour above. A bistro or farm table sits close by in the garden rather than under a big roof.

- Ventilation: a hood, an open gable or clear sky above the grill
- Where guests sit relative to the cook
