The short answer
Our top pick for Integrated Larder Fridges in the UK is the Cookology 138L Integrated Under-Counter Larder Fridge.
The most practical integrated larder fridge here: it publishes its energy class and its full dimensions, and it is the only one that says a door-fitting kit is in the box.

An integrated larder fridge is a fridge-only appliance built into a kitchen run behind your own cabinet door — no freezer compartment, no icebox, and no visible appliance front once it is installed. It is the standard choice in UK fitted kitchens where the freezer lives elsewhere, usually a utility room or garage, and where the brief is that the kitchen should read as cabinetry rather than as a row of appliances. Two things are worth knowing before you shop. First, the integrated larder fridge market on Amazon UK is narrow and dominated by under-counter models: all three picks below are built-under units designed to sit beneath a standard worktop, and the two that publish a height quote around 820mm. Full-height integrated larder fridges of 177cm or taller are mostly sold through kitchen suppliers and appliance specialists rather than through Amazon. Second, integrated appliances are bought on housing dimensions before anything else. A 595mm-wide appliance in a 600mm aperture is the UK norm, but the unit you buy has to match the opening you already have, and your decor door has to be attachable — which is why a door-fitting kit is a requirement rather than an accessory. This guide lists three models rather than the usual six or more: integrated fridge freezers and integrated larder freezers were excluded because neither is a larder fridge, and that leaves a genuinely small field. Capacity here runs from 110L to 138L, which is a fridge for one to three people, or a second fridge for drinks and overflow in a larger household.
Buying guide
What to look for in Integrated Larder Fridges
1Measure the aperture, not the appliance. UK integrated under-counter housings are typically 600mm wide, around 820mm high and 550mm deep, with the appliance itself slightly smaller. ASCOLI is the only brand in this guide publishing both figures — if a listing gives you only one, ask the seller for the other before ordering.
2Confirm whether a door-fitting kit is included. An integrated fridge has no finished front of its own: it carries a decor door from your kitchen range, attached with hinges and brackets supplied with the appliance. Cookology states a kit is included; the Teknix and ASCOLI listings do not mention one, so check before you order.
3Decide between under-counter and full height before you shop. Every pick here is a built-under unit that fits beneath a standard worktop — the Cookology quotes 818mm high and the ASCOLI 820mm, while Teknix publishes no height at all. If you need a full-height integrated larder fridge, expect to look beyond Amazon UK to kitchen and appliance specialists.
4Work out whether 110L to 138L is actually enough. That is a fridge for one to three people, or a drinks-and-overflow second fridge. A UK family of four doing a full weekly shop will find an under-counter larder fridge tight as their only cold storage.
5Check the energy class, and treat its absence as a question rather than a detail. A fridge runs 24 hours a day for its whole life, so the class letter affects your bill more than it does on almost any other appliance. Only Cookology publishes one here, at F.
6Plan the installation properly. Integrated appliances need ventilation gaps inside the housing, a socket that stays accessible after fitting, and a door that clears adjacent handles and worktop overhangs when opened. Replacing like for like is straightforward; converting a freestanding space means cabinetry work.
Our process
How we choose our picks
We don’t lab-test products ourselves. Instead we synthesise the strongest independent evidence — current Amazon UK listings, verified-buyer feedback, published specs and UK pricing — into clear, honest recommendations. We earn a commission if you buy through our links, but that never changes which products we rank.
Current UK availability
We only shortlist products actively listed and in stock on Amazon UK, checked against live catalogue data — not last year’s models.
Publicly visible buyer feedback
We look at how each product is received by UK shoppers — its overall rating standing and the praise or complaints that recur in public reviews — rather than relying on a single reviewer’s opinion.
Published specs & value
We compare manufacturer specifications, typical UK price bands, warranty and running costs so each pick is right for a real budget and use-case.
UK-specific fit
We factor in UK voltage, plug/fitting standards, CE/UKCA marking and Consumer Rights Act cover — details that generic global lists miss.

What we like
+The only pick here stating that a door-fitting kit is included — essential for an integrated fridge, which carries your kitchen's own cabinet door
+The only pick in this guide publishing an energy class at all, at F
+138L, quoted as up to seven bags of shopping, matching the Teknix for the largest capacity here
+Full dimensions published at 595 × 545 × 818mm, with adjustable legs and a reversible door for levelling into an existing run
Worth noting
–F energy rating is low for an appliance that runs continuously — though it is the only published class in this guide, so the others are not demonstrably better
–Cookology does not state a shelf count, so the interior layout cannot be compared against the Teknix's four glass shelves

Worth noting
–Teknix publishes no dimensions for this model — for an integrated appliance that has to fit an existing housing, that is the one number you most need
–No published energy class and no mention of a door-fitting kit
The pick when the housing is the constraint: ASCOLI is the only brand here telling you both the appliance dimensions and the aperture it needs, which is the number that decides whether an integrated fridge fits at all.

Editor's Note
Integrated larder fridges are bought on three numbers, and only one of them is the capacity. The first is the housing aperture — for UK under-counter kitchens that is usually 600mm wide, 550mm deep and around 820mm high, and it is fixed by cabinetry you already own. The second is whether a door-fitting kit is in the box, because an integrated appliance is not finished until your own decor door is hung on it, and only the Cookology listing in this guide states that a kit is included. The third is the energy class, and here the field is genuinely poor: Cookology publishes an F, while the ASCOLI and Teknix listings publish nothing at all. For an appliance that never switches off, that is a real gap in the information a UK buyer needs. Integrated models also tend to carry lower energy classes than freestanding equivalents, because they sit inside a cabinet with restricted airflow — which makes keeping the housing's ventilation gaps clear part of the installation rather than an optional extra. A note on scope: this guide covers fridge-only integrated units. Integrated fridge freezers and integrated larder freezers are different appliances and were deliberately left out, even where they appear alongside larder fridges in search results.
Our Take
Buy the Cookology 138L unless you have a specific reason not to. For an integrated appliance, the things that decide whether the purchase actually works are the dimensions and the door fixings, and it is the only listing here that is straight about both. The Teknix BITHUL4 is the better-equipped fridge on paper — digital controls on the door front, four glass shelves, two years' cover — but it publishes no dimensions at all, which for a built-in unit is a genuine risk rather than a minor omission, so confirm the housing size with the seller before ordering. The ASCOLI is the one to pick if your aperture is awkward, because it is the only brand here quoting the built-in opening it needs as well as the appliance size. And be realistic about capacity: at 110L to 138L, none of these is a family's main fridge.
Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
What is an integrated larder fridge?
An integrated larder fridge is a fridge-only unit built into a kitchen cabinet run behind your own decor door. It has no freezer compartment or icebox, so all its volume is refrigerated storage, and once fitted it is invisible — the kitchen door front is all you see. UK households choose them when the freezer lives elsewhere and the kitchen is meant to read as cabinetry rather than as appliances.
What size is a standard UK integrated under-counter fridge?
The usual UK built-under housing is around 600mm wide, 550mm deep and 820mm high, with the appliance itself slightly smaller. The ASCOLI pick in this guide quotes 820 × 595 × 545mm for the appliance and 820 × 600 × 550mm for the aperture it needs; the Cookology quotes 595mm wide, 545mm deep and 818mm high. Always measure your existing housing rather than assuming the standard.
Do integrated fridges come with a door-fitting kit?
Not always, and it matters. An integrated fridge has no finished front, so it needs hinges and brackets to carry your kitchen's own door. In this guide only the Cookology listing states that a door-fitting kit is included; the Teknix and ASCOLI listings do not mention one. Check before ordering, because sourcing the right kit afterwards is fiddly and not always possible.
Can you get a tall integrated larder fridge in the UK?
Yes — full-height integrated larder fridges of around 177cm exist, but they are largely sold through kitchen suppliers and appliance specialists rather than through Amazon UK. Every pick in this guide is an under-counter model; the Cookology quotes 818mm high and the ASCOLI 820mm. If you need full-height fridge-only storage and cannot source an integrated unit, a freestanding tall larder fridge is usually the more available option.
Is 138L enough for a fridge?
For one to three people, generally yes — Cookology puts 138L at around seven bags of shopping. For a UK family of four doing a full weekly shop it will be tight as the only cold storage, and an under-counter larder fridge is more commonly used as a second fridge in that situation.
Are integrated fridges more expensive to run than freestanding ones?
Integrated models often carry lower energy classes than freestanding equivalents, because they sit inside a cabinet with restricted airflow, so the class letter matters more rather than less. Only the Cookology pick here publishes a class, at F. Whatever you fit, make sure the housing's ventilation gaps are clear and unobstructed when the appliance goes in.
