By creating the Grillo Pergola we’ve made it easier than ever to enjoy outdoor dining, dinner parties and entertaining in the fresh air — whatever the UK weather has in store.

At the centre of this new setup is a premium pergola designed and manufactured by us, colour-matched to Grillo’s signature black finish for a smart, coordinated look. The design is both striking and functional, offering flexible protection from sun and rain while tying the whole outdoor space together. Whether you’re hosting friends or simply enjoying your morning coffee under the louvred roof, this is a space made for year-round enjoyment.

“We’ve combined our most popular pergola with Grillo’s distinctive finish, ensuring the two complement each other perfectly,” says Stuart Dantzic, our Managing Director. “It’s a solution that looks great and adds real functionality to any garden.”

Built from high grade aluminium, the Grillo pergola comes in three modular sizes and pairs perfectly with the most popular Grillo kitchen layouts, providing flexible sun, shade and shelter at the touch of a button. Customisable with sun screens, lighting and heating you can ensure an  inviting and functional outdoor cooking and entertaining space throughout the seasons.

The modular nature of both systems means each setup can be tailored to fit your patio, terrace or garden layout. Whether you’re working with a compact courtyard or expansive landscaped grounds, there’s enough room to create a covered outdoor kitchen area that flows naturally with the rest of your garden.

Grillo’s outdoor kitchens are made from marine-grade metal and iroko hardwood, built to withstand the British climate and provide years of reliable service. Combined with our weatherproof pergola, the result is a high-performance outdoor living space where design and durability go hand in hand.

“Caribbean Blinds have nailed it,” says Dougal Donald, Managing Director at Grillo. “They’ve created a superb pergola that fits seamlessly with our kitchens. It’s exactly what our clients have been asking for — full protection, style and plenty of functionality in one place.”

This collaboration is perfect for homeowners planning to create their dream outdoor kitchen area or professionals designing specification-ready garden projects. It gives you a complete solution for cooking, dining and entertaining outside — all in a setting that offers the practicality of a kitchen with the enjoyment of the great outdoors.

From mid-June, you can see the full setup at our Dream Gardens show site in Sudbury, Suffolk. Come and explore the complete installation, with a full Grillo outdoor kitchen, pergola, seating area and patio layout on display for inspiration.
