BLOK • TABLE GRILLS • SOCIAL FIRE COOKING
Blok: More Than A Grill
Blok reimagines outdoor fire cooking for modern entertaining. Inspired by social dining and Japanese grilling traditions, it brings people together around fire, food and conversation.
Social fire cooking
Why Blok Is More Than A Grill
Blok is not designed to sit at the edge of the garden while one person cooks for everyone else. It brings fire to the table, turning outdoor cooking into something shared, relaxed and naturally sociable.
Designed For Sharing
Blok encourages people to gather around the grill, cook together and enjoy food as it comes off the fire.
Inspired By Japanese Fire Cooking
Drawing on Konro and Robata traditions, Blok celebrates precise charcoal cooking, small plates and open conversation.
Built For Modern Entertaining
Compact, beautiful and tactile, Blok feels at home in gardens, terraces and outdoor dining spaces.
A wider movement
The Rise Of Social Fire Cooking
Across restaurants, gardens and outdoor kitchens, people are rediscovering a more instinctive way to cook. Fire is becoming part of the experience again, bringing heat, theatre and conversation back to the centre of the meal.
Open kitchens, Japanese grilling traditions and a desire for more meaningful entertaining are all influencing how we cook at home. Blok sits naturally within this movement, turning grilling into something shared rather than something separate.
Made for gathering
Why Blok Is Built For Entertaining
Blok feels different because it changes the role cooking plays in a gathering. Instead of standing apart from your guests, everyone naturally gravitates towards the table. Fire, food and conversation happen together, creating a more relaxed and memorable experience.
Small Plates Work Better
Food arrives gradually rather than all at once, encouraging people to slow down and enjoy the occasion.
Everyone Gets Involved
Blok naturally encourages participation, whether that's grilling seafood, turning skewers or sharing ideas around the table.
It Creates A Centrepiece
More than a cooking appliance, Blok becomes the focal point of terraces, gardens and outdoor entertaining spaces.

Who Is Blok Best Suited To?
Blok is not designed for everyone and that is part of its appeal. It naturally attracts people who enjoy the process of cooking, value good ingredients and see outdoor entertaining as an experience rather than simply preparing a meal.

Designed for modern spaces
Why Blok Works In Modern Homes
Blok suits the way outdoor spaces are changing. Gardens, terraces and courtyards are no longer just places for occasional summer barbecues. They are becoming dining rooms, social spaces and extensions of the home.
Terraces
Compact enough for smaller outdoor spaces, Blok brings proper charcoal cooking to places where a large barbecue may feel too dominant.
Courtyards
Its table top format makes it ideal for intimate spaces where atmosphere, conversation and design matter as much as cooking capacity.
Outdoor Kitchens
Blok can sit alongside larger grills and ovens, offering a more precise, interactive way to cook seafood, skewers and small plates.
Dining Spaces
Placed at the centre of the table, Blok changes the rhythm of the meal and turns cooking into part of the evening itself.
Why now?
Why Blok Has Found Its Moment
Blok feels timely because outdoor cooking is no longer just about feeding a crowd. Restaurants have helped bring fire back into view, with open kitchens, charcoal grills and visible flame becoming part of the dining experience.
At home, the same instinct is growing. People want food that feels more connected, more hands on and more memorable. They want cooking to become part of the occasion, not something happening away from the table.
Blok is not trying to replace the barbecue. It is creating its own category of social fire cooking.

A Different Way To Entertain
“Blok was never designed to replace the barbecue. It represents a different way to gather, cook and spend time together around food and fire.”
At Eat Alfresco, we see Blok as part of a wider movement towards slower, more sociable outdoor living. It is not about cooking faster or bigger. It is about creating memorable experiences where food, conversation and fire naturally come together.
