We have the Regatta version of this one that we bought from Argos years ago, it's a great unit and still going strong.

That looks like a really good kitchen.
We went with the Outwell Padres XL last year as were camping round Europe so all of our kit had to be super-quick to set up. With the Padres you just pull it up, kick the 4 corners into place & slot the middle shelves in.
Also the new Outwell Richmond has a magnetic clasp for when the sound of zips just becomes too much!

Looks good but the price lools a little steep, we have the royal easy up kitchen lots of this design under different brands such as vango, outwell etc, i did notice this outdoor revolution version at a good price.

I don't like those hanging larders which suspend with 4 x dog lead type clips and velcro strips. The shelves are usually a bit bendy and the larders won't hold much weight.

Best kitchen we've ever had (and we've had a few) is the Outwell Padres XL. The only problem, for us, was the bulk of it (to carry) so we sold it and got the smaller Padres. Actually, in just posting that link, I notice the XL is quite lot cheaper at Grasshopper Leisure as well!

As has already been said in this thread, these are super-fast and simple to put up and are good quality. They're quite heavy and bulky pack size, though. If you've got room to carry one, they're very good indeed.

My next choice would be the

Outwell Sudbury or one like it (Vango used to do an almost identical one - which we had - and other brands do similar versions. They're quick to put up and the larder, with being already affixed to the frame, are much more reliable (and usually have metal-edged shelves). We used one of these before we changed to the Padres (XL first, then the standard size). Only decided to change because the Padres is nicer and easier (was a bit of a pain fiddling to properly locate the 4 clips on the slatted aluminium top.

This Outdoor Revolution one seems like a good deal.

If you want loads of work surface, I'd suggest going for 2 separate units rather than one really wide one, just so you have more versatility (take one for a short-stay, both for a longer stay) and because I prefer the stronger, pre-attached larder / storage cupboards. I think it's quicker and easier to put 2 good units up than to faff around with the longer ones with side tables and attaching bits. Just my opinion, though!

Sorry youlbury, I just replicated your recommendation! Yes, it looks like a good deal ...£65 most other places.

Edited to say, I've Just noticed, this one has a steel frame. The one we had (Vango) and the Outwell Sudbury have an aluminium frame, so a bit lighter and possibly easier to handle. Just worth noting as will probably account for the price difference.

I'd go for a larder-type kitchen (such as already mentioned) and then something like the Sunncamp Midi or the Easy Camp Beauvais. Both go up quick as a flash and provide good storage and worktop space. We've had both, still got the Beauvais and can highly recommend it. We use it outside as well as in, since it's durable and lightweight enough to move around with ease.

We have a Kampa field kitchen which we use in the awning. It has a slatted aluminium top and zip-front cupboards with rigid shelving. satisfactory, with two provisos.
(1) Any food splatter can drop through the slats and does stain the fabric beneath it.
(2) I found the velcro straps that keep the unit rigid to be hazardous as (its ours anyhow) they did not have a satisfactory length of attachment to give security. The supplier had to exchange the first unit because trying to secure the velcro caused the stitching to start to tear. Second one no better.
I solved the problem by using a short length of light chain with two hooks at each end of the bottom rails.
Advised the manufacturer of the hazard, but on reply, of course.
Bertie.
