Nordic BBQ huts have a rich heritage rooted in the traditions of outdoor living across Finland, Sweden, and Norway. Known locally as grillikota, these cabins were originally designed to make open-fire cooking possible in the harshest climates.
Today, these huts have evolved into versatile garden structures that blend tradition with modern comfort. Whether used for winter grilling, midsummer parties, or a quiet evening with family, they offer a level of atmosphere and warmth that’s hard to match.
Many people also customise their BBQ hut interiors with sheepskins, fairy lights, or rustic dining settings to enhance the cabin-like feel and create a personal retreat just steps from the house.
Another reason BBQ huts have become popular in the UK is their ability to turn unpredictable weather into an opportunity rather than an obstacle. Rain or snow doesn’t mean the end of outdoor entertaining. Instead, it becomes part of the charm. With the right layout, you can even use the hut as a workspace, reading nook, or quiet garden escape when it’s not in use for cooking.
