The Bruges dining range is designed for entertaining outdoors: high-back chairs with teak arms and washable cushions keep guests comfortable through a long Spanish lunch, while an all-aluminium table gives you a sturdy, practical centrepiece. Sets come in 4, 6 and 8 seats, from €1,039, all finished in Ivory and all supplied with a weather cover.
In this guide we look at how to choose the right size, how to lay out a dining terrace, and how to host with ease. See every set on the Bruges collection page.
Which Bruges dining set is the right size?
Choose the set for the number of people who usually sit down together. If you host six for lunch most weekends but twelve once a year, the 6-seat set is the better buy; you can borrow chairs for the big occasion.
| Set | Seats | Now | Was | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bruges 4 Seat Dining Set | 4 | €1,039 | €1,299 | Couples and small families |
| Bruges 6 Seat Dining Set | 6 | €1,439 | €1,799 | Families who host regularly |
| Bruges 8 Seat Dining Set | 8 | €1,839 | €2,299 | Large families, villas, holiday homes |
What do all Bruges dining sets have in common?
- Frame: powder-coated aluminium
- Chair arms: Grade A teak, naturally resistant to decay and insects
- Chairs: high backs for support during long meals; each chair measures 58cm long, 69cm wide and 85cm high
- Cushions: 350g spun polyester, with covers that are machine washable at 30 degrees
- Table: all-aluminium, resistant to rust and corrosion
- Protection: weather cover included
Washable covers matter when you entertain. Tomato sauce, red wine and sun cream all happen at outdoor lunches, and being able to put the covers in the machine keeps the Ivory looking fresh.
How much space does an outdoor dining area need?
As a general guide, allow around 75 to 90cm behind each chair so people can pull their chair out, sit down and get up without squeezing past each other. Add a little more on the side people will use to walk past or carry food from the kitchen.
- Take the table dimensions from the product page or ask our team.
- Add 75 to 90cm on every side where there are chairs.
- Check the total against your terrace, allowing for doors, steps and planters.
- Mark it on the floor with tape to see how it feels.
Where should the dining table go?
- Close to the kitchen: the shorter the walk with hot plates, the better.
- In afternoon shade: Spanish lunches often run into the hottest part of the day, so plan shade for that time rather than for midday.
- On level ground: a flat surface keeps the table steady and the chairs comfortable.
- Away from the barbecue smoke: position the table upwind of where you cook.
How do you host a relaxed outdoor meal?
Good outdoor hosting is about making guests comfortable from arrival to the last coffee.
- Create a lounge spot nearby. A sofa set gives guests somewhere to sit with a drink before and after the meal. The Bruges 2 Seat Sofa Set (€1,199), 3 Seat Sofa Set (€1,439) and Corner Sofa Set (€1,759) match the dining sets perfectly.
- Plan the shade. A parasol or a bioclimatic pergola keeps the table comfortable.
- Light it for the evening. Lanterns on the table and festoon lights above make dinner feel special.
- Keep a throw or two handy for cooler autumn evenings.
- Set up a drinks station on a side table so guests can help themselves.
How do you look after a Bruges dining set?
- Use the weather cover when the set will not be used for a while, and during rain or strong wind.
- Wash cushion covers at 30 degrees, and let them dry completely before refitting.
- Wipe the aluminium with mild soapy water, especially if you live near the coast.
- Clean the teak arms gently. Untreated teak naturally weathers to a silvery grey over time in strong sun.
