Short answer
We deliver handcrafted wooden mud kitchens across Birmingham and the West Midlands, free, fully assembled, within 7 to 14 days. Birmingham’s family suburbs have more usable garden space than most big cities, which makes it one of the few places we regularly recommend going straight to the 150 cm kitchen (£529, or £599 with storage): room for three or four children, and the extra width costs £30.
Birmingham surprises people who think of it as all city: it is one of the greenest large cities in Europe by open space, and its family housing, from Kings Heath semis to Sutton Coldfield gardens, tends to come with a proper lawn. That changes our usual advice.
Go wider in Birmingham
In London we talk people down to 120 cm; in Birmingham we usually do not. If the garden is a typical suburban semi’s, the 150 cm kitchen fits without dominating, and width is the single thing that stops sibling arguments at a mud kitchen. Three or four children side by side, each with territory, is what the extra 30 centimetres buys. The full reasoning is in our large mud kitchens guide.
| Garden | Our suggestion | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Terrace yard, Digbeth to Stirchley | 120 cm with storage | Paved yards drain well and the cabinet is the toy cupboard |
| Typical semi, Kings Heath, Erdington, Harborne | 150 cm | Room for friends, still the footprint of a bench |
| Bigger plot, Sutton Coldfield, Solihull edges | 150 cm with storage | The nursery-grade version, tidy from the kitchen window |
The Midlands clay question
Much of the West Midlands gardens on slow-draining clay-heavy soil. It makes excellent mud, and it means the standard placement rule matters here: feet on slabs, gravel or paving, not on a lawn that holds winter water. Keep a lidded tub of bagged topsoil next to the kitchen and the border stays intact. The full setup is in where to put a mud kitchen.
Delivery around the M6 and beyond
Birmingham sits in the middle of the national pallet network, which in practice means deliveries here run smoothly and often land early in the 7 to 14 day window. Kerbside as everywhere: the driver brings the pallet to your frontage, two adults carry the kitchen through the side gate. Coverage includes the whole conurbation, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Walsall, West Bromwich, Solihull and out to Coventry.
Settings across the second city
Birmingham is one of the youngest cities in Europe, with a huge early-years sector to match. For nurseries and preschools the 150 cm with storage cabinet is the default, invoiced rather than card-paid, with multi-unit quotes for group settings. Our free risk assessment template and EYFS guide do the paperwork legwork.
Frequently asked questions
Do you deliver mud kitchens in Birmingham?
Yes, across Birmingham and the whole West Midlands conurbation, free, fully assembled, by tracked pallet courier within 7 to 14 days. Delivery is kerbside and two adults carry the kitchen through a standard side gate.
What size mud kitchen for a Birmingham garden?
For a typical suburban garden, the 150 cm: Birmingham gardens tend to have the room, and the extra width over the 120 cm costs £30 while fitting three or four children side by side. For a paved terrace yard, the 120 cm with storage cabinet.
Is Midlands clay soil a problem for a mud kitchen?
Not for the mud, clay makes the best pies. It is a problem for drainage, so stand the kitchen on slabs, gravel or paving rather than on a lawn that holds winter water, and it will comfortably outlast the childhood it was bought for.
