Christie BBQ Cooktops

We are proud to have assisted Southwark Council in installing new accessible barbecues at Burgess Park, which aim to encourage visitors to be more sustainable in an effort to control litter and combat climate change. The council has also banned gas, wood and charcoal BBQs in all other parks across the borough.

A Space For Community Engagement

Located in the heart of London, Burgess Park is Southwark's largest public park renowned for its picturesque natural environment, and the Christie cooktop complements this setting perfectly. By offering visitors and local residents a space to cook and dine together outdoors, the installation encourages spontaneous gatherings, collaborative meal-making, and the sharing of different cultural experiences.

The sleek and durable design of the cooktops fits seamlessly into the park's landscape, providing a modern and practical solution to high outdoor cooking demand that also promotes sustainability and inclusivity. Their electric operation ensures safe, clean cooking, aligning with the council's environmental values and commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.

Portia Mwangangye, cabinet member for leisure, parks and young people, said the site was "safer and more sustainable" than the previous barbecue area. She also said: "We are thrilled to open a brand-new trial outdoor cooking facility, as cooking has been at the heart of many community gatherings over the years."

Delivered by All Urban. As the UK supplier of Christie cooktops, All Urban brought their expertise in outdoor solutions to the project. The team collaborated closely with Southwark Council to ensure the cooktop met the needs of the local community and integrated harmoniously into the park's natural spaces. The installation reflects All Urban’s commitment to enhancing public spaces through thoughtful and functional design.
