Top pick: Onlyfire 85 cm table – Highest score: 4.5 from 94 ratings, 90 points, a stated 40 kg top at about £119.99. Not a measured load test. Best value: PARGRILL 3-tier cart – Best value at the same about £119.99, with four stated brakes and an 88 kg line, score 86. The height lines conflict. Updated 22.10.2026.
A barbecue trolley is a wheeled worktop for a pizza oven, a tabletop grill, a griddle or plates. The cooker is a separate product. In the UK you use a trolley beside a kettle or gas barbecue, or under a portable oven, when that cooker already exists and you need a standing surface.
Tell a suitable trolley apart by a stated kilogram rating, which surface that figure covers, whether the wheels have brakes, and whether the top is metal. A stainless label does not prove the frame stays bright. Dimension lines on the same listing often disagree. Treat a height around 50 cm as a conflict with a standing worktop. Credible standing heights sit nearer 70–92 cm. On a two-wheel cart you lift the back. Four braked swivels matter on a slope.
Those checks, in order, are in the [barbecue trolley buying guide](/hub/grills-and-barbecues/barbecue-trolley/sub/barbecue-trolley-buying-guide). Fire and gas rules attach to the cooker and the cylinder. The casters do not change those rules. Keep the cooker outdoors, clear of a tent, awning, balcony or decking.

The Onlyfire table at about £119.99 lists a 40 kg load, a stainless top about 85 cm long, and a cylinder bracket stated up to 9 kg, with 4.5 from 94 amazon.co.uk ratings. UK reviewers put an Ooni on it and describe the cart as sturdy once the frame is up, including under a gas barbecue. You lift the back, because the listing states two front directional wheels and a side handle, and it does not state brakes. Size lines disagree: 85.3 × 55 × 81 cm, 85.3 × 63.5 × 81 cm, a depth field of 80 cm, and a title that says 85.3 × 61 × 81 cm. Assembly needs more than the paper steps. One UK review names a Phillips screwdriver and 13 mm spanners, and another buyer bought a cover because they do not treat it as a cart to leave out in the rain. It is the top pick here for a stated 40 kg stainless top with the stronger UK sample in this set, on a patio where you can live without printed brakes.
Pros
40 kg load and a bracket stated up to 9 kg
4.5 from 94 amazon.co.uk ratings
UK reviews describe it as sturdy under an Ooni or a gas barbecue
Stainless tabletop, iron frame, about 81 cm high
Cons
Brakes are not stated. Two front wheels and a handle
Size lines conflict on width and depth
Paper instructions are unclear. One UK review needed 13 mm spanners
One UK buyer bought a cover rather than leave it out
Best for: A patio pizza oven or portable grill when you want a stated 40 kg stainless top and can lift the back to move it.
Less suitable: You need four printed brakes, a single size line you can trust, or a cart the listing says you can leave in the rain.
BBQMall’s folding stand at about £129.99 has 4.4 from 290 amazon.co.uk ratings, and the bullets name Ninja Woodfire models, a Ninja pizza oven, Weber Q, and Blackstone 17 inch and 22 inch griddles. UK reviewers say a Ninja Woodfire or Pro XL fits with spare room on the top, and that the stand folds flat for a car. The size and weight fields cannot describe this cart: they print 21 × 51 × 30 cm and 454 g, while a bullet says up to 200 pounds. One UK review says the top is ABS plastic after the description had suggested stainless steel, and the material field says powder-coated carbon steel. The first build is awkward, the box has no tools, and one UK review says the fold can trap fingers. Two wheels and the bullet’s safety locks are a folding stand, which suits a named tabletop cooker you pack away.
Pros
4.4 from 290 amazon.co.uk ratings
Bullets name Ninja Woodfire, Weber Q and Blackstone 17 and 22 inch
UK reviews: folds flat and leaves spare room beside a Ninja
Side flaps used for plates in UK reviews
Cons
21 × 51 × 30 cm and 454 g conflict with the cart
One UK review says the top is ABS plastic
Awkward first build, no tools in the box, and a fold that can trap fingers
200 pounds is a bullet, not a kilogram rating
Best for: A Ninja Woodfire, Weber Q or Blackstone 17 or 22 inch that you fold into a car.
Less suitable: You need a verified kilogram load, a stainless top the material field agrees with, or a fixed patio cart with four brakes.
MDDK’s folding table at about £99.99 is listed at 110 × 43 × 70 cm and 13.9 kg, with two lockable swivel wheels and 4.4 from 21 amazon.co.uk ratings. The material fields say stainless steel for the top, handle and frame, and the bullets include a folding side rack, hooks, a magnetic strip, a paper-towel holder and a bottle opener. Four UK reviews are a single line each and call it good value or solid, which does not show a repeated fault or a named oven that fitted. Six other texts are marked United States, including bent parts and a broken wheel piece, so they are not UK evidence. No kilogram rating is stated. The bullets say it opens and closes without tools, while the listing also says assembly is required. It is a folding station with locks on two wheels, and you cannot compare it on load with the Onlyfire tables.
Pros
Two lockable swivel wheels stated
Folds, at 110 × 43 × 70 cm and 13.9 kg
4.4 from 21 amazon.co.uk ratings
Side rack, hooks, magnetic strip and a bottle opener in the bullets
Cons
No kilogram rating on the listing
Only four UK reviews, each a single line
Assembly is required even though the bullets say it folds without tools
US damage notes are not a UK sample
Best for: A folding prep station with two locks, when you can accept that no load is printed.
Less suitable: You want UK reviews that name an oven, a stated kilogram rating, or four braked wheels.
The longer Onlyfire table costs about £159.99 and lists a 40 kg load on a stainless top about 120 cm long, with 4.3 from 77 amazon.co.uk ratings. UK reviews praise room beside an Ooni and a frame that feels sturdy once it is built, along with the baskets, hooks and bottle opener. Depth lines conflict: 120.3 × 55 × 81 cm, 120 × 63.5 × 81 cm, and a bullet given in inches. The side extension is the weak point. One UK reviewer bent it and added a bracket, another left the shelf off because it was awkward, and a broken fixing left a shelf that would not stay attached. Transit dents in the stainless top, hammered straight and left with sharp edges, appear in UK reviews, as does rust after a night in the rain. Brakes are not stated. You pay about £40 more than the 85 cm Onlyfire for length, on the same 40 kg line.
Pros
About 120 cm stainless top with room beside an oven
40 kg stated, 4.3 from 77 amazon.co.uk ratings
Two basket layers, hooks and a bottle opener
UK reviews call it sturdy once assembled
Cons
About £159.99 for the same 40 kg line as the shorter Onlyfire
Side shelf bent, left off, or lost a fixing in UK reviews
Dented tops and rust after rain in UK reviews
Two front wheels. Brakes not stated. Depth lines conflict
Best for: A pizza oven that needs peel space on a long stainless top, when you accept a light side shelf.
Less suitable: You want the side leaf to hold weight, a higher stated load than 40 kg, or the shorter table at about £119.99.
PARGRILL’s three-tier cart at about £119.99 states four swivel wheels with brakes, solid rubber tyres and an 88 kg maximum, with 4.3 from 72 amazon.co.uk ratings. UK reviewers used the stainless top under an Ooni or another pizza oven, and they mention wheels that lock when they move the cart. The height line is not a standing measure you can quote: the field says 118 × 84 × 50 cm, while the bullet says a 762 × 508 mm top and a side table that extends 355 mm. Soft screw heads that leave sharp burrs come up in UK reviews, and the shelves are called poorly made next to a decent top. One UK review mentions rust after weeks outside, including under a cover, and another calls the cart flimsy under a Gozney Roccbox. The 88 kg field does not say whether that figure is the top alone. It is the best value in this set when you want brakes and a higher stated load for the same about £119.99, if you measure the top yourself.
Pros
Four swivel wheels with brakes stated
88 kg maximum printed on the listing
4.3 from 72 amazon.co.uk ratings
UK reviews used the top under an Ooni, with a paper guide that lined up
Cons
118 × 84 × 50 cm conflicts with a 762 × 508 mm top
Soft screw heads and sharp burrs in UK reviews
One UK review reports rust after weeks outside, including under a cover
88 kg is not labelled as top-only
Best for: A flat or slightly sloping patio where you want lockable wheels and a stated load at about £119.99.
Less suitable: You need one consistent height, a gas-cylinder kilogram rating, or a cart with no outdoor rust notes in the UK reviews.
The listing says four swivel wheels with brakes, and the highlight says four lockable swivel wheels.
What load is stated?
88 kg maximum. It does not say whether that is the top only.
Why do the sizes disagree?
The dimension line says 118 × 84 × 50 cm. The bullet says a 762 × 508 mm top. A 50 cm height is a poor figure for a standing worktop. Both lines are left as printed.
Yvsevnr’s cart at about £99.98 is titled as 304 stainless steel, lists an item weight of 16 kg, and shows 3.8 from 11 amazon.co.uk ratings. Only one of those reviews is marked United Kingdom. That reviewer calls the cart nice apart from the gas-pipe hole, which is not sealed as shown and is not wide enough for a regulator unless you alter it. The listing does not state a load or brakes. It states two 360° swivel wheels and a handle, one shelf, a lower basket and four hooks. Size lines conflict: 53 × 84 × 92 cm against a 50 × 50 × 92 cm line. German reviews on the same listing mention rust before assembly and small wheels, and they are not UK evidence. Eleven ratings and a single UK text are too thin to treat the 304 title as a proven outdoor top.
Pros
Title says 304 stainless steel
Two 360° swivel wheels and a handle
Lower basket and four hooks in the bullets
Listed height about 92 cm
Cons
One UK review: the gas hole will not pass a regulator
No stated load and no brakes
3.8 from 11 ratings, with one UK text
50 × 50 cm size line conflicts with 53 × 84 cm
Best for: A prep cart only if you have checked that your regulator clears the gas hole and you do not need a printed load.
Less suitable: You run a cylinder through that hole, or you want more than one UK review before you trust a 304 title.
Nomiou’s painted steel cart is the lowest price in this set at about £69.99, listed around 84 × 51 × 76 cm and 15.5 kg, with 3.7 from 76 amazon.co.uk ratings. It has two wheels, a side handle and two shelves, and it does not state a load or brakes. UK reviewers who finished the build used it under an Ooni or a Ninja BBQ XL and called the size suitable for a pizza oven. One of those builds took about 40 minutes with the tools in the box. The complaint that repeats is that the cart does not go together: screws too short for the spring and washer, too few nuts, a QR code or video that does not open in the UK, and leg sockets blocked by burrs. The paper sheet shows parts and skips the steps. A low shelf price is a poor bargain when the frame stays in pieces inside the return window.
Pros
About £69.99, the lowest price in this comparison
About 84 × 51 × 76 cm, with two shelves
UK reviews that finished the build used it under an Ooni or a Ninja BBQ XL
One UK review finished in about 40 minutes with the included tools
Cons
No stated load and no brakes
UK reviews: short screws, missing nuts, holes that do not line up
Instruction video or QR code unavailable in the UK
3.7 from 76 amazon.co.uk ratings
Best for: A painted steel stand only after you have counted the nuts and confirmed the legs seat, and you can return it if they do not.
Less suitable: You want a stated kilogram rating, stainless steel, or a build that UK reviews describe as straightforward.
No. The listing gives size, two shelves and a 15.5 kg item weight, not a kilogram rating.
How many wheels does the listing state?
Two wheels and a side handle. It does not state brakes.
Is assembly required?
Yes. UK reviews say screws were short, nuts were missing, or the instruction video link did not work.
How we compared
Seven amazon.co.uk barbecue trolley listings were scored from 0 to 100. Weights sum to 100. Amazon evidence is 30: the star rating scaled to 20, then reduced when the count is small, plus a count band up to 10. Listing fit is 35: a stated kilogram load, brakes that are printed, a height that can be a standing worktop, and a material line that does not fight a UK review. Review outcome is 20: UK texts that describe a finished cart under a pizza oven or tabletop grill score higher than a thin UK sample or repeated assembly failures. Value is 15: shelf price in GBP against a stated load and brakes. The lowest price does not score when UK reviews say the cart will not assemble. The top pick is the Onlyfire 85 cm table at about £119.99, score 90. Best value is the PARGRILL 3-tier cart at the same about £119.99, score 86, with four stated brakes and a higher printed load, after the height conflict is scored as a deduction. A stated kilogram rating was not loaded on a rig. This is not a lab test.

Barbecue trolley buying guide
Choose the job before the star count. A fixed patio cart, a folding stand for a named tabletop cooker, and a side surface for plates are three different buys. If you need the cooker, leave this category. On this page the shelf prices run from about £69.99 to about £159.99. A stated kilogram rating, printed brakes and a metal top you can stand at matter more than the lowest price. A 4.4 from 290 ratings is a weak guide when the weight line is 454 g and a UK review says the top is plastic.
What is a barbecue trolley?
A barbecue trolley is a wheeled worktop. You put a pizza oven, a tabletop grill, a griddle or plates on it. The cooker is a separate product. UK shoppers use a trolley beside a kettle or gas barbecue, or under a portable oven. If you still need the cooker, leave this category. The three jobs are a fixed patio cart, a folding stand for a named tabletop cooker, and a surface for plates beside a full-size barbecue. A camping table of about 60 × 40 cm is the wrong buy for a pizza oven.
Best for
A patio cook with a pizza oven or tabletop grill who needs a metal top and a stated load
A camper who needs a folding stand rather than a fixed cart of about 15 kg
Not ideal for
Anyone who still needs to buy the barbecue, pizza oven or griddle itself
A balcony, decking, tent, awning or caravan, or a hot cooker you plan to roll
Mistakes to avoid
1
Using a camping table as an oven stand
A table of about 60 × 40 cm is a different product. A pizza oven needs a metal top with room for a peel, and a stated load for the surface the oven sits on. A folding stand in this set is still a wheeled cart, not a picnic table.
2
Reading stainless as weatherproof
A stainless label has not stopped UK reviews reporting rust after rain, including under a cover. A 304 title with one UK review is a thin sample. BS EN 1860-1:2024 covers solid-fuel barbecues, not these carts.
3
Assuming a 9 kg bracket means the regulator fits
The shorter Onlyfire table states a bracket up to 9 kg. The longer Onlyfire table names a gas-cylinder bracket and does not state 9 kg. One UK review on another cart says the gas hole will not pass a regulator unless you alter it. Check the hole against your own regulator.
What to weigh up
Load, wheels and brakes
High
Load is the first fork, and you need the surface it covers. In this set one listing prints 88 kg, two print 40 kg, and one bullet says up to 200 pounds. Three listings print no kilogram rating. A similar cart outside the set splits countertop 50 kg, shelf 30 kg and foldable table 20 kg. Keep those figures separate. Wheels are the second fork. Four swivel wheels with brakes are printed on one cart. Two wheels plus a handle means you lift the back. Two lockable swivel wheels are the middle case.
Worktop, height and assembly
High
Match the top to the cooker plus room for a peel. A stainless line is a material claim. UK reviews still report rust after rain. When one line says 50 cm high and another gives the top in millimetres, treat 50 cm as a conflict. Credible standing heights here are about 70–92 cm. A 21 × 51 × 30 cm line and a 454 g line conflict with a folding cart. Every kept listing says assembly is required. UK reviews describe missing nuts, dead QR codes, soft screw heads and dented tops.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
🍕
Pizza oven on the patio
You want a metal top and a stated load under a portable oven. The Onlyfire 85 cm table is about £119.99, at 4.5 from 94 ratings, with 40 kg stated and a bracket up to 9 kg. Brakes are not printed. You lift the back. Size lines on width and depth conflict.
You want lockable wheels at the same shelf price. The PARGRILL 3-tier cart is about £119.99, at 4.3 from 72 ratings, with four braked swivels and 88 kg stated. The 50 cm height line conflicts with a 762 × 508 mm top. One UK review reports rust after weeks outside.
You want a stand that names a Ninja Woodfire, Weber Q or Blackstone 17 or 22 inch and folds flat. The BBQMall stand is about £129.99, at 4.4 from 290 ratings. The 21 × 51 × 30 cm and 454 g lines conflict with the cart. One UK review says the top is ABS plastic.
The top pick is the Onlyfire 85 cm table at about £119.99. It scores 90, the highest in this set, with 4.5 from 94 amazon.co.uk ratings, a stated 40 kg load and a cylinder bracket stated up to 9 kg. UK reviews describe it as sturdy under an Ooni once it is built. Brakes are not stated, and the size lines conflict. This is not a lab load test.
Which barbecue trolley is the best value?
The best value is the PARGRILL 3-tier cart at about £119.99, the same shelf price as the top pick. It scores 86. The listing states four swivel wheels with brakes and an 88 kg maximum, with 4.3 from 72 amazon.co.uk ratings. The 118 × 84 × 50 cm line conflicts with a 762 × 508 mm top, so measure the top yourself. The about £69.99 cart is a poor bargain when UK reviews say it will not assemble.
How much does a barbecue trolley cost on amazon.co.uk?
In this set the shelf prices are about £69.99, £99.98, £99.99, £119.99 for two carts, £129.99 and £159.99. As a rule of thumb from pages checked on 20 October 2026, entry carts sit about £70–£100 and mid-price carts about £110–£160. Named stands outside this set were about £189 to £299. A lower price does not win when the frame stays in pieces.
What load and brakes should you look for on a barbecue trolley?
Read the kilogram figure and which surface it covers. Two listings state 40 kg. One states 88 kg. One bullet says up to 200 pounds, which is a pound figure, not a checked kilogram rating. Three listings state no load. Four braked swivel wheels are printed on one cart. Two wheels plus a handle means you lift the back. None of these loads was checked on a rig.
Does a stainless top mean the trolley will not rust?
A stainless label is a material line, not a rust test, and it does not mean the frame will stay bright outdoors. UK reviews on carts in this set report rust after a night of rain and rust after weeks outside, including under a cover. One title says 304 stainless steel and has a single UK review. BS EN 1860-1:2024 covers solid-fuel barbecues, not these carts. Read the steel word as a listing claim.
Can you use a barbecue on a trolley indoors or on a balcony?
Keep the cooker outdoors. GOV.UK says never use a barbecue indoors, in a tent, under an awning or in a caravan. London Fire Brigade says a barbecue stays off a balcony and off decking. Let the cooker cool before you move the trolley. Store the gas cylinder somewhere other than under the stairs. Brakes do not make a balcony barbecue acceptable. The fire rules attach to the cooker and the cylinder.
Is a folding camping table the same as a barbecue trolley?
A camping table of about 60 × 40 cm is a different product from a barbecue trolley. A trolley here is a wheeled worktop for a pizza oven, tabletop grill, griddle or plates. A folding stand in this set is still a listed cart with wheels. If the cooker is what you still need to buy, start with the tabletop grill comparison. The cart does not replace the grill.
What if the size lines on the listing disagree?
Keep both size lines. One cart prints 118 × 84 × 50 cm beside a 762 × 508 mm top, and 50 cm is a poor figure for a standing worktop. Another prints 21 × 51 × 30 cm and 454 g beside a 200-pound bullet. Depth lines on the Onlyfire tables also disagree. Credible standing heights here are about 70–92 cm where the lines agree. Faulty goods can be rejected within 30 days under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
Our verdict
The top pick is the Onlyfire 85 cm table at about £119.99. It has the highest score, 90, from 4.5 stars and 94 amazon.co.uk ratings, with a stated 40 kg stainless top and a bracket stated up to 9 kg. Brakes are not printed, and the size lines conflict. The best value is the PARGRILL 3-tier cart at the same about £119.99. It states four braked swivel wheels and an 88 kg maximum, at 4.3 from 72 ratings, score 86. The 50 cm height line conflicts with a 762 × 508 mm top. The about £69.99 cart takes no badge: UK reviews often stop at missing nuts and short screws. None of these scores is a lab load test.
Best overall
Onlyfire 85 cm table
Highest score: 4.5 from 94 ratings, 90 points, a stated 40 kg top at about £119.99. Not a measured load test.
