Bull Outdoor Kitchens Ireland: ODK Bronze, Silver & Gold Explained

Bull Outdoor Kitchens in Ireland

Bull is one of the most recognised outdoor kitchen brands in the world, and its ODK (Outdoor Kitchen) range is a staple of the Irish market — sold by retailers like A Room Outside. The ODK range is sold in three clear tiers — Bronze, Silver and Gold — plus the value DuraBull kitchen.

If you are considering a Bull outdoor kitchen in Ireland, here is what each tier offers.

Bull ODK Bronze — The Entry Complete Kitchen

The Bull ODK Bronze is the entry-level complete outdoor kitchen, priced around €12,160 in Ireland. It is a self-contained unit built around stainless steel cabinetry and a Bull gas BBQ grill, designed for homeowners who want a branded, complete kitchen without the premium price tag.

Who It Suits

The Bronze suits smaller gardens and first-time outdoor kitchen buyers who want a recognised brand and a complete unit, without committing to the higher tiers.

Bull ODK Silver — The Mid-Tier

The Bull ODK Silver is the mid-tier complete kitchen, priced around €16,299. It steps up the grill, refrigeration and cabinetry specification over the Bronze, making it a popular choice for regular entertainers.

Who It Suits

The Silver is the sweet spot for many Irish homeowners — a complete, branded kitchen with enough capability for family gatherings and summer BBQs.

Bull ODK Gold — The Premium Loaded Kitchen

The Bull ODK Gold is the premium, fully loaded complete kitchen, priced around €27,589. It includes the top-tier Bull grill, expanded refrigeration, and the full cabinetry and feature set — the flagship of the ODK range.

Who It Suits

The Gold is for the homeowner who wants the best of the Bull range with no compromises — a statement kitchen for a large garden.

DuraBull Kitchen — The Value Option

The DuraBull Kitchen sits below the ODK range as a value complete kitchen, typically priced around €12,675 (often discounted from around €16,900). It offers a complete Bull kitchen at a more accessible price point.

Bull Components

Bull also sells outdoor kitchen components separately in Ireland, including:

Bull Premium Double Drawer Outdoor Fridge — around €3,000
Bull grills and cabinetry modules — to build or expand a kitchen over time

What to Consider Before Buying a Bull Kitchen

A Bull ODK kitchen is a quality product, but buying one from a retailer leaves you responsible for:

Site preparation — a level, suitable base
Service connections — gas, water and electricity to Irish standards
Installation and sealing — so the kitchen performs and lasts
Shelter and integration — pergola, lighting and seating

This is the gap a bespoke, installed outdoor kitchen from New Chapter Homes fills. We can specify Bull (or equivalent) appliances within a kitchen we design, manufacture, deliver and install for you — with all connections handled by our certified team, anywhere in Ireland.

If you are pricing a Bull ODK kitchen, it is worth getting a comparable quote for a fully installed, bespoke New Chapter outdoor kitchen. Often the installed cost is similar — but with New Chapter, the design, installation and connections are all included in one fixed price.
