A fire pit table is a two-in-one garden centrepiece that combines a dining or coffee surface with a built-in fire feature, fuelled by gas, bioethanol or wood. It gives you somewhere to set drinks and plates during the day and a glowing focal point once the evening cools off, all in a single piece of furniture.

Why a fire pit table earns its place in a garden
For households who entertain on weekends, a fire pit table replaces the awkward dance between an outdoor coffee table and a separate fire pit. The flame sits in a recessed burner tray in the centre, with the surrounding tabletop staying cool to the touch. When the burner is off, a lid or reversible insert turns the whole piece back into a usable table, which matters when garden space is tight.
Choosing the right fuel
Gas fire pit tables run on LPG or natural gas, light instantly with a push-button ignition and have an adjustable flame, so they suit anyone who wants warmth without the smoke or the work of tending a fire. Bioethanol models burn a clean liquid fuel with no smoke and no flue, which makes them a good fit for covered patios and balconies. Wood-burning fire pit tables offer the crackle and authentic scent of a real fire, in exchange for a little more housekeeping.
Materials and build quality
Our curated range covers Corten weathering steel, powder-coated steel, cast concrete and aluminium composite. Corten develops a deep russet patina that protects the metal below and looks at home in a planted garden. Concrete tabletops feel substantial and resist heat marks. Aluminium frames stay light enough to reposition on a patio, which suits smaller terraces.
What makes Fireside Boutique's selection different
We stock fire pit tables from brands we have personally vetted, including Happy Cocooning, BonFeu, Moodz, Elementi and Adezz. Every model includes a UK gas certification where applicable, manufacturer warranty and free UK delivery. We do not list anything we would not be willing to put in our own garden.
Frequently asked questions
Are fire pit tables safe to use on a covered patio?
Gas and bioethanol fire pit tables are generally safe under a covered patio with adequate ventilation and a minimum overhead clearance of around 2 metres, but always follow the manufacturer's stated clearance. Wood-burning models should be used in open-air settings only.
Can I leave a fire pit table outside all year?
Yes, when it is covered with a fitted protective cover and the gas bottle is disconnected for storage in winter. Corten steel and stainless steel cope best with British weather. We recommend a cover for every model regardless of material.
How much heat does a fire pit table give off?
Most gas fire pit tables sit between 30,000 and 50,000 BTU, enough to take the chill off a group seated around the table on an autumn evening. They are an atmosphere piece first and a heater second.
Do I need planning permission for a fire pit table in 2026?
No. Domestic fire pit tables sit outside planning requirements in the UK. If you live in a smoke control area, gas or bioethanol fuel is the simplest way to stay compliant.
