Hi, I have decided that we need a new camp kitchen and my mum & dad are going to buy us one for Christmas so I thought I would pick your brains for recommendations and advice.
It must fold down quite flat and we dont want to be attaching legs etc when we get to site.
We cook on 2 x suitcase stoves so it would be good if the size of the top could fit 2 of these side by side.
We would like it to have a built in cupboard
It would be quite good if it was a sensible height to cook on as I have a bad back and dont want to be crouching over when cooking.
I would be grateful for your suggestions and recommendations, with the pros and cons of items.
I would recommend the Xpress range of Kampa kitchens, however, I do not believe they make one big enough to have 2 suitcase stoves side by side, unless you do not need to use a windbreak.

we use a Regatta one we got from Argos - cupboard each side, plenty of space on top and easy to put up, fold down - fits into its own bag for transport.
I love my Vango Garda kitchen. Has two cupboards underneath and would easily fit two suitcase stoves, just unfold the legs and go. It replaced the Kampa Commander which was a complete pain to put up and often took nearly as long as the tent to erect(and always bit me for kicking it halfway through putting it up)!
We have a Kampa sergeant and it fits 2 stoves on top, one facing forward and one turned to side, if that makes sense! Also has windshield, 3 shelves and zipped door. Folds flat into carry bag.
Weve got the latter one its great and fits 2 suit case stoves on fine!!!! although i paid about £10 less for mine!! the argos one is the same but with 2 larders however that one was to big for my porch!!!
I love my outwell Richmond kitchen, but the outwell Aruba looks great too! I would definately recommend either of these, sturdy, quick to put up and fold neatly for storage
Kampa Sergeant is what I have and it is a great piece of kit:

Yes it is a Sunncamp one.
Got it from World of Camping in their sale about 3 years ago.
Don't think they make my particular model now - the nearest one is the Multi-Function Utility kitchen.
