Research Reveals Nine in 10 Homeowners Want to Dine ‘Al Fresco’ This Summer

Nine in 10 surveyed homeowners prefer dining al fresco, and 54.55% want an outdoor kitchen as patios need postwinter repairs.

  • New research from Thompson reveals over half of Brits aspire to have an outdoor kitchen this summer, reflecting growing interest in outdoor dining as warmer months approach.
  • Whilst BBQs are most commonly owned at 84.6%, pizza ovens are rising at 27.4%, marking a clear shift towards a Mediterranean summer cooking style.
  • Nearly 60 per cent of surveyed homeowners report their outdoor spaces require maintenance to remove algae and dirt accumulated during harsh winter conditions.
  • Stuart Ruffles, product marketing assistant from Thompson, advises applying cleaner, scrubbing for 15 minutes, then rinsing away the suds with a hose.
  • For protection against oil and grease, homeowners can apply Thompson One Coat Patio and Block Paving Seal, which resists algae growth and is developed for ease.
