The ultimate garden status symbol is, of course, the barbecue. And for anyone serious about outdoor hosting, it’s a true garden essential. While most kamado-style grills will set you back well over £1,000, Lidl has just launched a version that looks (and cooks) like models costing up to £2,000, but for just £249. As ever, the middle aisle is serving an affordable way to elevate your al fresco set-up.
You’ll recognise the distinctive “kamado” design from cult favourites like the Big Green Egg. Loved for their versatility, these grills can handle everything doing a low-and-slow cook of tender, fall-off-the-bone meats through to high-heat steak searing and veg charring. Their style and versatility has secured them a space in many homes as an outdoor dining essential, and exactly why Lidl’s version is set to cause a stir.
