Even though the weather was dreadful on Monday, aka Swithin’s Day (where if it rains on July 15, it’s meant to rain for the next 40 days), parts of the UK are prepping for a mini heatwave this weekend… and you know what that means? It’s the perfect opportunity to crack out the barbecue.
Now if yours is looking a little worse for wear, fear not as people think they’ve found a barbeque that’s not only ‘great value’, but has earned a pretty decent 4.8 our of 5 stars.
The Grillstream 4 Burner Hybrid Gas & Charcoal BBQ from John Lewis, priced at £499, is ready to transform your outdoor gatherings this weekend, and throughout the summer season.
Perfect for hosting family and friends, this 4-burner hybrid barbecue is a game-changer, giving you the best of both worlds: the authentic, smoky flavour of charcoal grilling and the convenience and precise temperature control of gas cooking.

You can also keep an eye on how your cooking is progressing with the handy lid thermometer and use the warming rack to ensure all your food stays hot and ready to eat.
With two side shelves and plenty of enclosed storage underneath, you’ll have all the space you need for your grilling tools and ingredients. One of the side shelves even converts into a side burner for extra cooking options.
The generous grilling area, 73.5 x 41.5 cm, lets you cook up a storm, while Grillstream technology prevents those annoying flare-ups, making your grilling safer and more consistent. Plus, the transporter wheels make it easy to move your barbecue to the perfect spot in your garden.
When it comes to reviews, quite a few buyers have given it the full five-stars, including Mrs E who said: ‘The BBQ is great and compared to many others that we looked at in various places was really good value. We opted for the assembly option; glad we did as it arrived pretty much ready to go.’
This will set you back an additional £50, but worth the investment if you want to get your meats chargrilling asap.
‘After thorough search and product comparisons, I have ordered this barbeque, and I am so happy with it! Hybrid Gas or Coal or both, this is the way to go for convenience, taste and speed of lightning and cooking,’ mentioned Annabel, another five-star reviewer.
‘Couldn’t ask for more, great BBQ. First time using it was for a BBQ to feed 9 people and found I didn’t even need to use all the space. Will do for bigger parties’, added George32, who went on to also say: ‘Haven’t tried the coal feature yet, but looking forward to.’
Of course, if nearly £500 is out of your budget, John Lewis, Argos, Amazon and Lakeland are just a few retailers who also have incredible options at various price points.
As we know all too well, this gorgeous weather won’t be around for long, so make the most of it whilst you can – that means barbequing too.
