Hugely popular Dutch WWOO outdoor kitchens with Big Green Egg now available in the UK

Hertfordshire businessmen and brothers Simon and Ben Hawkins have won the rights to be the UK supplier for the new generation must-have outdoor kitchens, WWOO, which are set to take the UK by storm this summer and transform outdoor entertaining. 

 

The WWOO kitchens have been hugely popular in parts of Europe and the US for the past decade but have not been available to buy in the UK until now.

 

Simon and Ben Hawkins, who own a Hertfordshire garden design business, are launching the WWOO brand to the UK market from 2017. 

 

WWOO is a concrete outdoor kitchen by one of the design world's rising stars, Dutch designer, Piet-Jan van den Kommer and the must-have concept has been available to buy in the Netherlands for 10 years. It's now available in Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Norway and Israel and parts of the US. 

 

WWOO has transformed the outdoor cooking and eating experience for people across Europe and the US, due to Piet Jan's talent for designing innovative products that combine durability with contemporary aesthetics.

 

The WWOO products create a hardwearing outdoor kitchen that can withstand constant use, outside temperatures and weather conditions, all year round, but still retain their designer visual appeal. The WWOO kitchens are made from raw materials such as concrete, wood and steel and can be individualised to suit different needs.   They also work well in any space size: they look great in either a small courtyard garden, a roof terrace or a country estate.

 

As the WWOO kitchens can be bought by component, at the entry level, this makes it a very affordable way to achieve a designer outdoor kitchen look.  But at the highest end of the spectrum, the WWOO kitchen is a luxury buy: a fully equipped beautiful outside room, built in anthracite and grey concrete, with a pizza oven, a Big Green Egg BBQ, an integrated steel fireplace, a stainless steel sink, robust wooden storage crates, olive-wood cutting boards, a canopy to cover two segments and barstools.

 

"We came across WWOO back in 2010 and were blown away by the design and the way it makes outdoor cooking and dining such a simple, pleasurable experience" says Simon Hawkins.

 

"I have been involved in landscape gardening for 16 years and have never come across a design like this in the UK. It is such an innovative concept, but so useable, and a great way to expand your living area without having to extend your actual house or flat. 

 

"It can be built in a small or large space, and the different components mean that it can suit different budgets. But all the time, it is very stylish, very contemporary. It looks great, and is fantastic for entertaining outside.

 

"It's a great combination of that Dutch practicality and chic design. It's a modular concept, so the customer can have as little or as much as they want. And it can be fitted by our expert WWOO fitters in one day."

  

And the WWOO kitchens have already got an expert local fan in Theo Michaels, Masterchef 2014 semi-finalist, private chef and author of newly published book Microwave Mug Meals (www.TheoCooks.com ).

 

He says: "The WWOO concept is fantastic and long overdue. Being Greek Cypriot cooking outside is in our blood and these kitchens are not only stylish but they also make all-year-round outside dining a real possibility. They can transform an outside area to somewhere you want to cook and I can see the WWOO Kitchens really taking off in the UK."

 

WWOO UK will be beginning the manufacture of these kitchens in December and is now accepting first orders for delivery early in 2017.

A light grey two segment kitchen that is 3m wide and 1.3m tall with four large and one small worktop shelves, with a cut out space for a barbecue or Big Green Egg grill would lead in at £2,964 incl VAT (but excluding delivery and installation). £3,712 including a medium Big Green Egg.
