A well-planned barbecue requires plenty of planning, organization and preparation. A barbeque table can streamline the process by allowing you to prepare and serve food and drinks, without having to get up from your seat. The best BBQ tables are designed to fit your needs and are durable enough for outdoor use, and can be easily moved between seating areas and cooking zones.
You might remember this luxury grill table from the scene in The Gentlemen where tabloid journalist Fletcher (Hugh Grant) joins Ray for some banter over a barbecue. It’s certainly a gorgeous piece of furniture and isn’t just for show – tabletop BBQs are actually really useful as they allow people to cook their own meals without having to leave their seat.
If you’re looking for a grill table that can be used as a serving table or prep station, consider models with adjustable heights and features such as storage shelves, condiment and spice racks, tool hooks or built-in sinks. You should also ensure that the tabletop is made with a heat-resistant material and can withstand the heat of your burners and other grilling appliances.
A folding BBQ table is more portable and can be tucked away for easy storage in your garage or car trunk. If you’re looking for something that can be set up next to your sofa or chair in your outdoor living space, try this L.L.Bean model, which has an upper shelf and two lower levels for additional storage. This sturdy grill table is strong enough to hold your grates while you’re prepping meats and veggies, and it even has a convenient slot for holding the lid when you need both hands to grab your tools.
