Why Choose a Gas Barbecue?

Gas barbecues are the UK's most popular choice for outdoor cooking. They're quick to light, easy to manage and simple to clean, removing much of the complexity from cooking outdoors without compromising on results.

  • Ready to cook in minutes with no fire management required
  • Precise temperature control with consistent, even heat
  • Easy to use for everyday cooking and larger gatherings alike
  • Clean burning with no ash to dispose of
  • Well suited to patios, decks, outdoor kitchens and garden entertaining areas

For those who want reliable performance with minimal preparation, gas remains the most versatile choice for outdoor cooking.

Freestanding and Built-In Gas Barbecues

Our gas BBQs are available in both freestanding and built-in formats, making it straightforward to find an option that suits your outdoor setup.

Freestanding models are flexible and easy to position, making them ideal for patios, lawns and garden entertaining areas. Built-in designs integrate directly into outdoor kitchen units and modular cooking stations, creating a seamless, professional-quality finish.

Designed for Year-Round Outdoor Use

Our gas barbecues are selected for robust construction and long-term outdoor performance. Quality burners, insulated hoods and well-engineered cooking surfaces all contribute to reliable results in a UK garden throughout the year.

Bull BBQ

Bull is one of the best known names in American outdoor cooking. Founded in California in 1992, it grew from a garage start-up into a brand that helped pioneer the outdoor kitchen, and more than thirty years on its grills are sold in over forty countries. That same engineering sits behind the Prime Liner range we stock here.

Every Bull is built to last. The Prime Liner barbecues use heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel, with cast stainless steel burners, solid stainless cooking grates and a twin-lined hood for even, controlled heat. These are the details that separate a barbecue you replace every few seasons from one that becomes a permanent feature of the garden, which is exactly why Bull sits alongside the other premium brands at Alfresco Chic.

The range comes in four freestanding models, so you can match burner power to how you cook and entertain. The S3 and S4 offer three and four burners in brushed stainless steel, while the G3 and G4 bring the same performance in a sleek black finish. Three-burner models suit most family setups, while the four-burner grills give the extra space and heat for larger gatherings and cooking several things at once.

GRLLR

GRLLR is a modern outdoor cooking brand built around a simple idea: the barbecue should be the heart of the whole outdoor space, not just a grill in the corner. Its Prime gas barbecues are designed to work brilliantly on their own, and to slot straight into the wider GRLLR Connect system of modular outdoor kitchen units if you decide to build outwards later.

The Prime range delivers serious cooking power in a contemporary black finish. Every model pairs multiple main burners with an integrated side burner for sauces, sides and searing, and the range is rotisserie-ready for spit-roasting when you want it. Cast grill plates and other accessories let you tailor the cooking surface to the way you cook.

Three models cover most gardens. The G3S offers three burners plus a side burner for more compact spaces, the G4S steps up to four burners for everyday family cooking, and the flagship G5S adds a fifth burner and the most cooking space for larger gatherings. Whichever you choose, it can stand alone today and become the centrepiece of a full outdoor kitchen tomorrow.

Gas Barbecue FAQs

How do I light a gas barbecue?

Most gas barbecues light using an integrated ignition: open the gas valve, press the ignition button and the burner will light. If the ignition fails, use a long-handled gas lighter. Always open the hood before lighting to prevent gas from building up inside.

Can gas barbecues be used with bottled gas?

Yes. Most outdoor gas barbecues are designed to work with LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) cylinders, which are widely available from DIY stores, garden centres and supermarkets. Check the gas connection type required before purchasing a cylinder, as fittings can vary between models.

Can a gas barbecue be connected to mains gas?

Most outdoor gas barbecues, including all of the models we stock, are designed to run on bottled LPG rather than mains (natural) gas. Some premium models from other brands do offer mains gas conversion, but this effectively fixes the barbecue in one location, making it more suited to a permanent outdoor kitchen installation. For most gardens, bottled LPG remains the more flexible and practical choice.

Do gas barbecues need to be covered when not in use?

A cover is recommended to protect against rain, UV exposure and general weathering, particularly if the barbecue is kept outdoors year-round. Most gas barbecues are designed for outdoor use but will benefit from a good quality cover during wetter months.

Can a gas barbecue be used in an outdoor kitchen?

Yes. Built-in gas barbecues are specifically designed to integrate into outdoor kitchen units. Some freestanding models may also be suitable for worktop configurations depending on the design. Always check the individual product specifications for built-in compatibility before purchasing.
