With warmer weather on the way and World Cup gatherings in the calendar, shoppers can upgrade their entertaining space for less
Summer entertaining has been upgraded thanks to a nifty Dunelm item that’s perfectly designed for compact outdoor spaces. The Folding Garden Bar can be swiftly unfolded, with no assembly required, creating a practical area to serve alfresco drinks from a garden, patio or balcony.
Dunelm’s Folding Garden Bar is £129 at full price but consumers can currently save 20%, getting it for £103.20. This £25.80 saving comes at an ideal time for the arrival of warm weather and any World Cup gatherings.
Making having guests over more fun and providing a convenient space to serve beverages, to use the bar, simply unfold the side panels, fold down the hinged shelf and add the countertop. The shelving is ideal for glasses and drinks, plus, there’s under shelf space for larger items such as cocktail shakers, ingredients and bottles.

Made from sustainably sourced timber from managed forests, a 10-year guarantee against rot and pressure treated for durability, the garden bar looks excellent as it is with a natural finish that blends seamlessly into a garden. One customer gave theirs an update with a light-up logo, writing: “Just brilliant, perfect size for my garden. Stick a neon bar sign on it – looks amazing.”
As well as being used as a bar, Dunelm’s versatile product also makes a great potting table or a BBQ side table. Confirming this, someone said: “Excellent quality and sturdy. We are using as a BBQ cooking station, it’s multipurpose and folds away for storage when not in use.”

This multi-purpose product can be used as a BBQ side table or a potting table as well as a bar.
Another Dunelm customer shared: “Very good quality in every respect. Actually using as a potting table but can adapt when required.” When the bar is not in use, it can easily be folded away and kept neatly stored during the winter months, or when not entertaining.
While the majority of reviews on the Dunelm website are positive, a consumer left criticism, commenting: “Good design, but poor finish. It has been returned for refund.”
Alternatively, shoppers can find the Vidaxl Bar Table made from solid acacia wood at B&Q. It is more expensive than Dunelm’s offering priced at £159.99, however, the item does comes with two bar stools which may be a priority for some.
Elsewhere, Amazon is selling this Rowlinson Garden Mini Bar for £219. It has lots of clever details, including wheels for easy transportation, hooks for hanging towels and height adjustable shelves.
The most affordable option out of the three remains Dunelm’s Folding Garden Bar, on sale for £103.20. A happy customer left a review that says: “Love this product. It’s so easy to put up and fold away and is really good quality. Doesn’t take up too much space so great for a small garden.”
A second person wrote: “I love it, fits perfectly and I can use it wherever I need it.” And a third said: “Perfect for the garden. Very well made and easy to assemble.” It has also been called ‘such good quality and sturdy’ as well as being praised for ‘folding away easily and neatly’.
