We love the outdoor smokeless BBQ table in Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen and it seems many of you do too, as we’ve received many requests to track it down.

To recap: In the scene in The Gentlemen film, where the sleazy tabloid journalist Fletcher (Hugh Grant) joins Ray (Charlie Hunnam) in his garden, Fletcher gestures towards Ray’s eye-catching outdoor table with built-in grill, and says:

“What is that, is that a BBQ as well?”

“Yes it is Fletcher” says Ray.

“I love a barbie” says Fletcher, adding: “That’s a useful bit of part(?) then isn’t it – it heats up your knees and cooks at the same time. Ha, you got to show me how to get one of them.”

“Well you can take it with you if you fuck off now” says Ray.

Pushing his luck, Fletcher hesitates, takes a drag of his cigarette, then asks “Ray, is there any chance of a steak?”

They stare at each other while Ray considers the request.

“Yeah alright, I’ve got a bit of Wagyu in the freezer as it happens” Ray replies.

“I’ve never had Wagyu” says Fletcher, a little excited.

“Ah well, it’ll be wasted on you but it’s all I’ve got” quips Ray before he goes inside to his freezer to fetch the steak.

The Gentlemen’s Production Designer Gemma Jackson (who also worked with Ritchie on Aladdin, as well as being production designer for Game of Thrones, John Adams and Bridget Jones’s Diary) tells us she first encountered the barbecue in Guy Ritchie’s garden.

“It’s his personal invention which he has gradually refined to the fabulous object you saw in the film” Jackson says. “It’s very clever. You sit around it and keep warm as your legs are tucked under the table where there is the warmth from the burning embers. Guy throws furs etc over the chairs so that he can entertain outside all the year around.”

It was chosen for this scene because it was felt to be sufficiently innovative for a bit of a dark horse like the character Ray: “It wasn’t originally in the script but as we all thought about it, the idea stuck and we put it in Ray’s garden” Jackson continues.

This is a gorgeous bit of kit and we can certainly see how Ray’s barbecue grill would make a great addition to any garden as it brings people together in an interactive way to cook and enjoy food.

Where can I find the outdoor table BBQ grill for my own home?

If you’re looking to buy the said same BBQ grill as seen in The Gentlemen, the good news is the ‘fire table’ prototype design which featured in the film has now been developed and made commercially available.

Now called the ‘WildTable’, Guy Ritchie and his team have been hard at work behind the scenes perfecting the outdoor grill and accompanying ‘WildTent’ and ‘WildKitchen’ design since their cameos in The Gentlemen. It has come to light that Ritchie has an obsession with outdoor cooking and has personally owned over 30 different BBQs. He originally designed this deluxe beast of a barbie to entertain celebrity guests all year round at his Ashcombe House estate, near Salisbury, Wiltshire.

There are four sizes of the ‘WildTable‘ range (for 4, 6, 8 or 12 people) which allow charcoal or wood to be burned under a central firebox with a glass lid in the centre of the table and a flue which draws away the smoke. All tables can come with a clever ‘skilt’ around the edge of the table, which acts as a kind of table skirt and keeps your legs warm, whatever the weather.

All editions come with a choice of either a copper or zinc table top, a teppanyaki cooking plate, a five-piece cooking tool set, fire-retardant gloves and a protective cover. 

Film and Furniture partners with Cashmere Caveman, makers of the WildTable and WildKitchen.
