Outdoor kitchen recommendation please

We’re at the planning stage of landscaping our garden, and we’d like an outdoor kitchen of some description.

We’ve only previously had a kettle barbecue, so having an outdoor kitchen is very exciting to us.

We’d like a gas BBQ, an egg type smoker/charcoal BBQ and some worksurface. With some open shelves underneath the worksurface for trays of food, utensils etc. We wouldn’t need to keep those trays and utensils out permanently though, they’d just be used whilst DH is cooking.

We’ve toyed with whether we need a sink and a fridge and decided that we don’t.

Garden designer has suggested Grillo, which does two price levels of modular outdoor kitchens. They look great and very durable but also pricey (the more basic range is about £10k+ for the above, plus installation, which is more than I expected).

Any recommendations please for similar which is out in all weathers and has stood the test of time?

We're planning similar...if we ever complete! Anyhow, our idea is getting a general builder/joiner in and designing our own - a pergola, on new slabs, with electric for lighting run beneath and a counter, cupboards, etc, made of a hard wearing wood. We've looked at modular types and they're very expensive ( and someone we know had to have a small crane thing to lift it into their garden!).
