With the celebrations for the Platinum Jubilee already in full swing and (hopefully) a nice summer to look forward to - many of us are already gearing up for outdoor fun, picnics and parties with our loved ones.
And what would a picnic or street party be without the main event? Yes, the food of course.
Luckily for anyone looking for some Jubilee grub on a budget, retailer Marks and Spencer has dropped an amazing offer to save shoppers money.
As part of the brand's grill range, M&S is offering 3 for £10 on a selection of BBQ products which can be mixed and matched. There’s something to suit everyone over the weekend of festivities and all summer long.
The range is available to buy in stores now, so we’d recommend heading to your nearest M&S store to stock up ahead of time. You can also find the new range at Ocado, we've popped some of the available bits below.
Some of the favourites from the 3 for £10 line include:
Katsu Chicken Burgers - £4.50
Pork, Chorizo & Manchego Burgers - £4.50
Chilli Halloumi Kebabs - £4.80
Remember, you'll find most of the range in M&S so it's best to head down to your local store.
But how does everything taste? Luckily for you, I tried and tested some of the range before you buy and let's just say the results weren't just delicious, but M&S delicious.
First up was the colossal Bacon and Cheese Sausage Swirl. It retails for just £4.50 and this whopper is packed full of flavour. I shared it with one other person and we even had some left over the next day, did I mention it tastes just as nice cold?
It's made from outdoor-bred pork and chunks of mature white cheddar and just looking at it, we'd say it's the ultimate sharing centrepiece for any summer party.
All you have to do is pop it on the grill and finish it off with the sweet and smoky barbecue sauce, which really compliments the rich pork flavour.
Next was a sure summer staple, perfect for any BBQ's you might be planning ahead of the bank holiday and summer months.
I really enjoyed the Pork, Chorizo & Manchego Burgers in Bao Buns, as it was different from the usual beef burgers with a slab of processed cheese. It felt more of a dining experience than BBQ grub which I think most people are looking for, especially for the Jubilee.
The delicious burgers have been blended with red pepper, chorizo pieces and Manchego cheese, offering a rich and unique flavour your guests are sure to love.
Lastly, what would any BBQ be without some sumptuous sides?
Also new this year to the 3 for £10 range are some veggie sides to rival the main event. Customers can opt for pre-prepped Hasselback’s with a garlic, chive drizzle or BBQ coated crispy cauliflower nuggets and BBQ drizzled corn on the cob.
I went for the corn on the cob and was delighted to have grilled them to achieve the perfect 'soft crunch' and equally tasty flavour.
If you don't fancy any of these BBQ bits, why not try out some of the amazing dishes available at M&S Food to Order.
Shoppers can choose from party food like sandwich platters, fruit offerings and even cakes and drink hampers too, so there's really something for everyone to indulge in for every occasion.
