Chedworth Casual Dining Set with Firepit Table by Holloways
Next, we have the Chedworth Casual Dining Set, a brilliant option for those who enjoy evening gatherings under the stars. This set delivers on aesthetics with its rustic yet refined appeal and brings functionality to the forefront with its integrated firepit table. Perfect for adding warmth on chillier nights, the firepit makes this set ideal for the British climate.
The combination of stylish wicker and a durable glass-topped table gives you a touch of the countryside in your garden without losing that classic air of luxury. When thinking about the pros and cons of particular garden sets, it’s worth noting that while firepits are fabulous for ambience, they do require a bit of maintenance and care- though we think the warmth and style payoff is often more than worth it.

The curved design not only maximises seating but also encourages conversation, creating a lovely communal feel.
Like the Chedworth, the Antibes also features a firepit, adding both warmth and visual interest. This set thrives when paired with a minimalist awning, where the focus can remain on the bold, sculptural shapes of the furniture. It’s a great reminder that sometimes, less is more.

Pairing Our Favourite Garden Furniture Sets with an Awning or Veranda
Awnings, verandas, and premium luxury garden furniture go hand in hand. Awnings bring you much-needed shade on hot days, protect your furniture from weather damage, and create a cosy, defined space that feels like an outdoor room.
Similarly, glass verandas help to make the outdoors more accessible while shielding you from the unpredictable Great British weather. Together, they create the perfect setting for enjoying your garden in comfort and style, no matter the season.
At the Great British Awning and Blind Company, we specialise in helping you make the most of your outdoor spaces. From bespoke awnings to custom verandas, our products are designed to seamlessly blend with your existing décor while providing all the benefits of added shade, protection, and style.
