Shoppers degree up heatwave BBQs with ‘wonderful’ backyard bar

‘Can’t wait to have friends round and use it’

Garden parties and weekend BBQs are getting a stylish upgrade thanks to a garden bar that shoppers have branded ‘amazing’ for transforming outdoor spaces into the ultimate entertaining hub. Now, the Rowlinson Garden Mini Bar is up for grabs for £219, down from £229 on Amazon.

The versatile wooden bar doubles as a BBQ serving station and outdoor prep area, offering plenty of storage alongside a practical worktop. With the summer entertainment season in full swing, it’s an easy way to create a dedicated spot for drinks, snacks and BBQ essentials without taking over the outside dining table.

Storage has been thoughtfully designed, with three height-adjustable shelves underneath the worktop, giving plenty of room for glasses, bottles, serving dishes or gardening essentials. Integrated hooks are also included, making it easy to hang bar towels, utensils or drink-making tools within easy reach.

Built from pressure-treated timber, the mini bar is protected against rot to help it withstand the British weather, while the natural wood finish blends easily into most gardens and patios. The sturdy construction is designed to provide a long-lasting focal point for outdoor entertaining throughout the seasons. It’s worth noting that the bar optic rack, bar accessories and wheels are not included, allowing shoppers to personalise the setup to suit their own garden bar or outdoor kitchen.

An alternative option is the Mercia 6×4 ft Pent Wooden Garden Bar for £384 from B&Q. This one features side access and a wooden countertop, making it ideal for pouring and serving drinks.

Over on Yimbly, an online marketplace owned by this company’s parent company, Reach Plc, there is a much more budget buy with the Livivo Galvanised Steel Drinks Bucket for £14.99. While not a full outdoor bar setup, this handy portable drinks bucket has a 24 litre capacity and is perfect for keeping drinks cool during summer parties.

The Rowlinson Garden Mini Bar has received an overall average rating of four out of five stars on Amazon. One person said: “Perfect for what we wanted – fairly easy to assemble between two of us. Looks great in our summerhouse.”

A second said: “Wasn’t sure about buying this, but so happy I did. It is a good size and very easy to put together. I’m a 65-year-old female and managed to do this myself. Can’t wait to have friends round and use it. Great price, too.”

While a third added: “Easy to put together. Makes a nice mini bar for the garden and it’s handy that it’s on wheels. I leave it out all the time, so I bought a small greenhouse-type cover to keep the rain off. I also purchased optics which fit on nicely.”

Others deducted stars, with one writing: “We received this today but the wheels are not included as shown on the picture.” Another said: “Instructions not great, but good product.”
