We Brits love a barbecue, so much so that three quarters of UK households currently own some kind of BBQ grill. And now spring has arrived (and even though the Easter weekend isn't predicted to be a sunny one), it's the perfect time to snap up a saving on a top-rated gas, charcoal or electric model.

We've been seeing plenty of deals go live from a range of brands, including big names in the barbecue world like Weber, Char-Broil and Broil King. We'll be continuing to keep an eye on the products in this guide and update any changes in price, so bookmark this page to ensure you don't miss out on the best barbecue offers.

Weber Lumin electric BBQ

Best bl0w-out electric BBQ

Weber Lumin electric barbecue

Star rating: 4.5/5

This electric barbecue is impressively compact and robust, easy to build and heat, and packs away easily too. In testing we found it gave our aubergine and steaks those prominent grill lines that we look for when barbecuing, and our spatchcock chicken was golden and soft without being dry.

Most of the packaging could be recycled, and we also liked the grill scraper that was included in the box – very handy for turning ingredients and prising off stubborn bits of food afterwards.

Char-Broil Kettleman

Best for families who entertain

Char-Broil Kettleman BBQ

Star rating: 4.5/5

This large kettle-style barbecue is ideal if you're entertaining over the summer. Lighting and heating it up was a speedy process, and the smooth-close lid formed an excellent seal to retain warmth. There's a handy storage rack underneath the barbecue, and its robust wheels mean you can move it around the garden if you need to.

The Kettleman cooked the majority of our barbecue recipes well, including our halloumi kebabs – which were well charred – and our spatchcock chicken, which had crisp barbecued skin and smoky flavour.

Putting this model together is the most fiddly bit (it took us around half an hour, and we needed an extra pair of hands), but once built it can stay assembled and become a staple part of your garden set-up.

Char-Broil Charcoal L barbecue

Best for social barbecuers

Char-Broil Charcoal L barbecue

Star rating: 4/5

With this Char-Broil barbecue, you can easily cater for large numbers and garden get-togethers thanks to its generous cooking space. There's also a handy keep-warm rack inside, which can be loaded with items before serving.

We liked the adjustable chimney, which allowed us to redirect smoke back into the unit to boost a gorgeous smoky flavour into our dishes. Despite the faff of assembling it (there are a lot of fiddly caps and screws to contend with), the storage is also excellent – with six hooks for accessories, an inbuilt bottle opener, and collapsible side trays.

VonHaus Compact charcoal barbecue

Best for entertaining on a budget

VonHaus Compact charcoal barbecue

Star rating: 4/5

If you're looking for a budget barbecue with a large grilling area, this Vonhaus model is good fit. There are nifty features like two side tables for storing lightweight tools, a thermometer for monitoring the temperature, and a handy bottle opener. We also liked the firebox, which is height-adjustable and has a front door for easy refuelling.

Bear in mind you forfeit some build quality for the price. We also found the assembly a little time-consuming, though once we were all set up, the barbecue was simple to light, cook with, and – owing to its compact size – store.

Kamado Joe Kettle Joe charcoal BBQ

Best large ceramic barbecue for affordability

Kamado Joe Kettle Joe charcoal BBQ

Star rating: 4/5

Already a great-value item, now you can scoop up an even bigger saving on this sturdy and generously sized barbecue. It comes with an additional smoking unit and has an effective split-level design, which means you can cook different ingredients at different rates if you wanted to.

We found this model maintained an optimum cooking temperature for several hours, producing delicious halloumi kebabs that had good grill lines and even charring. It has a five-year warranty, too, so you can make good use of it for many summers to come.

Broil King Crown 490

Best gas barbecue for versatility

Broil King Crown 490

Star rating: 4/5

If you're looking to do some serious barbecuing, this is an impressively versatile model that's worth considering while it's on offer. Featuring a large grill, warming rack, rotisserie, and side hob, this is a barbecue that means business – and it cooked all our recipes to a high standard. We liked the intuitiveness of the controls and found it retained heat well.

Moving it around and keeping it in place wasn't a bother, and the cast iron grills are robust and well-made. While time-consuming to assemble, once built we also loved the overall look of this barbecue and found it a joy to cook on.

Char-Broil X200 Grill2Go

Best barbecue for couples or small families

Char Broil X200 Grill2Go

Star rating: 4/5

Great for small gardens or cooking on the go, this compact Char-Broil barbecue delivered impressive results with well-defined grill lines, succulent insides and charred outsides.

We found it very easy to use, and though the controls could have been a little more reactive, the handy thermometer on the lid helped us keep track of the temperature. It's lightweight and small, so would easily fit into a car boot if you're taking it on your travels. It also comes with a scraper, so you can easily clean it after use.

OXO Good Grips silicone tongs

Best tongs to use with a barbecue

Oxo Good Grips tongs

Unlike many large BBQ tools, these silicone tongs are still comfortable to use even if you have a smaller hands. They're also easy to grip, and have flat silicone tips that are slightly flexible – so they can be used as a spatula to flip ingredients. We loved using them to cook burgers, but they really came into their own when having to turn vegetable slices or fish.

OXO Good Grips basting brush

Best BBQ basting brush

OXO Basting brush

At 34.4cm long, this basting brush is ideal for basting ingredients as they cook on a BBQ – with minimal risk to you. While it doesn't come with a pot, it has a broad head of heat-resistant silicone bristles that angle upwards, which means less mess when the brush is rested flat on the worktop. In testing, we also found it carried an efficient quantity of marinade for each stroke, so basting was quick and simple.
