Range cooker or alternative on breakfast bar

[abc12345]

Hello, please can someone give me some advise...

I really want a range cooker because I have a large family. The only place to put it in our kitchen would be in the breakfast bar (no stools the other side just more cupboards)... I have been told that it's not a good idea because the worktop (oak laminate) will need to be cut out and there will be gaps down the sides that food will get down... Has anyone been in this predicament? Can anybody offer me a solution or an alternative? I really like that it has 3 ovens...

Thanks. Xx

How about 2 built in or built under double ovens or a double and a single instead? Have a hob in the island instead.
