Amazon portable grill that is shopper's 'favourite camping companion' gets 24% cut
Shoppers have said this compact grill is 'easy to use' and creates 'perfect food'.
As the summer brings in warmer days and lighter nights, many Brits will be excited to whip out their barbecues to start grilling their favourite meats and veg. However, for people who love to travel and camp, large barbecues aren't ideal as they are hard to carry and take up a lot of needed space.
Thankfully, Amazon has started its Home and Garden Week shopping event, which sees markdowns on many of your must-have home, gardening or camping products just in time for summer. This includes a variety of barbecues and other outdoor cooking appliances.
One such item is a portable, reusable barbecue that is said by Amazon shoppers to be easily transported and assembled. The Weber Go-Anywhere Charcoal Grill usually retails for £109.99, but camping fanatics can now grab it for only £83.99 in a limited time deal.
As well as the 24 per cent saving, the grill has been described as lightweight, foldable and portable, making it the perfect companion for day trips to the beach or weekends away camping with friends and family. An added bonus is that the barbecue comes with a 10 year warranty, allowing you to use the device for years to come.
This travel-sized premium grill features a heat-resistant bowl and lid, a triple plated cooking grate and a handle with a heat shield. The outdoor cooking gadget also comes with folding legs that can pivot around the barbecue to allow users more stability when in use. These legs also lock the lid into place when carried.

Product Description
The Weber portable barbecue is also rust resistant and is able to keep a consistent temperature with airflow technology to ensure even cooking of all your tasty food. With dimensions of 21.7D x 11W x 16.3H centimetres, this easy to carry device will quickly become the first thing you pack for a trip.
Alternatively, Amazon has also dropped the price of the Char-Broil X200 Grill2Go Portable Barbecue down from a hefty £229.99 to £177.91. With a TRU-Infrared Cooking System, this grill is said to deliver food that is 50 per cent juicier while using 30 per cent less gas.
Over on Argos, the retailer is selling the Weber Smokey Joe Premium Portable Charcoal BBQ for £99. Featuring a circular design, this barbecue also features Weber's airflow system to help keep your food sizzling away when you open the lid to check on it.
However, many Amazon shoppers have shown interest in the Go-Anywhere Grill - especially when it is reduced in price. Boasting 4.7 stars from over 1,500 shoppers, this Weber grill is currently one of Amazon's top choices.
One thrilled shopper wrote: "I recently purchased the Weber Go-Anywhere Barbecue Grill, and I am beyond satisfied with my decision. This little grill has quickly become my favorite companion for camping trips, tailgating, and even backyard grilling.
"Assembly was straightforward, and the grill is easy to use. The legs fold up neatly, and it's incredibly simple to pack up and take wherever I go. I love how sturdy and well-built the design is, and the black finish looks sleek and stylish."
Homewares deal of the week
With summer on the horizon, you'll be wanting to spend more time in your garden relaxing.
To help keep you protected from harmful UV rays, a stylish parasol can really refresh your outdoors space. Fortunately, Asda has just bought back its sell-out item that shoppers can't stop raving over.
The supermarket's highly coveted Riviera Stripe Parasol was so popular when it first launched in 2024 that it apparently "sold out in nine weeks." Now, it can be yours for just £59 when you buy it here.
The supermarket's summer garden staple is said to "bring a slice of the Riviera into any garden" thanks to its trendy striped canopy and intricate tassel edging that offers a "boho touch" to the design.
It's not just a stylish addition to your garden, as the FSC-certified wood pole has a lean function that allows you to tilt the canopy whenever you feel the position sun shift. Meanwhile, the polycotton canopy is said to be "weatherproof", making it suitable for unpredictable UK summers.
Since the Riviera Stripe Parasol sold out within just over two months last year, it's expected that it will be popular once again this year. It's also no surprise to hear that it has managed to amass glowing five-star reviews on the George at Asda website.
One delighted customer wrote: "I'm blown away by how amazing this product is. I've been wanting to get a patterned parasol with a boho touch for a while, but unwilling to spend the £150+ that they normally are. I thought I'd give this one a go, but didn't expect much for the price.
"It is exactly what I wanted. Furthermore it also tips and has a lovely case. It is stylish, good, waterproof fabric and looks like something you would get from a much fancier, 'bespoke' store. I could not recommend it more."
The Riviera Stripe Parasol can be bought online at George at Asda for £59 here.
Another happily added on: "Love this bbq - ideal for caravaning - as has the legs so off the ground. Great bbq; compact and has air vents so burns well. Good size for the two of us and folds away for compact storage. Weber bbqs always work well and good quality."
However, one of the niggles that shoppers had with the barbecue is that it doesn't have any handles at the side. One shopper said: "My last one looked after me for 15 years, so no complaints. New ones don't have handles, which is a shame. In terms of quality, time will tell."
Another reviewer also wrote: "Good grill flawed by design. Unlike the US model, the UK model does not have side handles. This means it cannot be easily moved until cool as the legs secure the lid to the base. Such a shame that they would omit such a key safety feature for one market yet support it in another as the grill side of it is fantastic."
Despite this, many shoppers were delighted with their new travel companion. A five-star reviewer added: "Absolute perfect for cooking up dinner for the family. When you can't be bothered to fire up the big bbq or the gas bbq, this is the perfect size for cooking a few burgers, steaks, sausages etc."
With a further shopper writing: "Perfect food cooked on this great little barbecue. The lid makes all the difference as opposed to cooking over an open grill. The cooking surface is just the right distance from the coals - i.e. doesn't burn everything.
"The inside of the pan is easy to clean and there are no ashes falling out of the bottom to burn the grass, so no need to find bricks to stand it on. It isn't cheap but it's very sturdy and should last many years. Very easily stacked inside the car because it's a sensible rectangle shape."

Beautiful seaside city named an Ibiza dupe in Europe's 'cheapest' country
The short-term rental platform, Airbnb, has named one Albanian city a "White Isle dupe" - offering resplendent and pristine beaches and a vibrant nightlife at a fraction of the cost of Ibiza Airbnb has named this city a ' White Isle dupe' in a report detailing the UK's top travel trends for summer 2025. Offering beach clubs and an ever-growing nightlife scene, this Albanian city is ideal for those that want an Ibiza experience on a budget. 'Brits are increasingly seeking vibrant fun-filled settings that offer the same bohemian charm and buzzing nightlife as Ibiza's White Isle - but without the hefty price tags,' according to Airbnb. Durrës, Albania is one such gem. Airbnb confirms that searches for the city situated on the Adriatic Coast are 'booming' at the moment as Brits explore cheap holiday destinations. But Durrës is more than a destination dupe, it has a rich history that is ready to be unpacked by tourists. Durrës is one of the oldest and most significant port cities in the Balkans, with a history that dates back nearly 3,000 years. Its impressively storied history has earned Durrës the title 'eternal city' on the Adriatic Sea. One of the biggest draws to the area are undoubtedly its sandy beaches. Durrës is home to some of Albania's most stunning beaches, equally equipped for water sport enthusiasts and lazing sunbathers. The most popular beach in the city is its namesake beach: Durrës Beach. The golden arc of sand has been compared to the French Riviera and is defined by shallow water and soft sand. Keep in mind though that there are hidden rocks that lurk in port-adjacent areas so you may want to pack water shoes. Travellers looking for a bit of adventure can rent jet skis or try parasailing on Durrës Beach. Beach volleyball is also commonly found on the north end, as are yoga sessions hosted by the bigger beach clubs. Heading north from Durrës Beach, travellers will arrive at another local gem: Golem Beach. Located 20 kilometres south of Durrës' city centre, Golem beach is worth a visit with about 3.5 kilometres of soft, golden sand and turquoise waters. There are plenty of other beaches - both hidden gems and hotspots - that are fairly easy to reach from the city centre. Beaches near Durrës Spille Beach Portez Beach Kallmi Beach Cape of Rodon Kavaja Cliff Currila Beach If you're looking for a more cultured experience, there are also numerous galleries, theatres and museums to explore within Durrës. One of the most frequented is the Archeological Museum showcasing artifacts spanning multiple eras. If you're looking for more modern amenities and cultural enrichment, the southern side of the city is the better bet. Here, you'll find buzzy restaurants and resorts, as well as the much-raved about nightlife scene. In its list of White Isle destination dupes, Airbnb also names Tivat, Montenegro and Agadir, Morocco as places to keep on your radar. Tivat is tagged as a 'Monaco-meets-Ibiza' coastal city and its pier recently enjoyed a multi-million dollar makeover. Contrastingly, Agadir in North Africa promises laidback charm and surf-friendly shores for those interested in hitting the waves.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 'dial down the bling' on Venice wedding after furore around THAT all-female space flight... but it'll still cost nearly £10m, ALISON BOSHOFF reveals
The eyes of the world will inevitably be on Venice later this month when financial colossus Jeff Bezos marries fiancee Lauren Sanchez. Everyone in the Italian city is expecting a staggering display of wealth from Amazon-founder Bezos, with money to burn, and Ms Sanchez, who looks like she enjoys lighting the match. And yet, despite the huge wealth and profile of the couple and their celebrity guests, it can be revealed that this will be a publicity-shy and surprisingly small event. Modest, even. With fewer than 200 guests – a fraction of what was expected – and a final bill which is said to be less than £10million, it is clear that the bride and groom are dialling down on the bling. As an impeccably placed source tells me: 'The wedding has had a make-under.' Indeed, the event is going to cost the equivalent of loose change for the groom, who is worth $220billion and spends $34million a year just to run his yacht – the $500 million Koru. The yacht will be moored at San Basilio – the closest the giant vessel can get to the centre of Venice due to regulations to protect the city's fragile ecosystem – and be in sight of the Hotel Cipriani, where many guests will be lodged. It's thought Jeff, Lauren and their immediate families will stay on the nine-bedroom yacht. Other guests will be split between the Cipriani and Aman hotels nearby. The only famous couple definitely going are actor Orlando Bloom and his wife Katy Perry. Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian are invited, but their attendance has not been confirmed. Instead, the guests of honour will be Bezos' mum, Jackie, who had Jeff when she was 17, and his adoptive father and life-long inspiration, Mike Bezos. The island of San Giorgio Maggiore will potentially be the destination for the couple's nuptials The couple loaned him $245,000, their life savings, to start Amazon in 1995 and Mike, who now runs the Bezos family foundation, is a particularly impressive individual, having emigrated to the US alone from Cuba aged 16. So why the – relatively – humble plans? I understand part of the reason was the PR disaster of the all-female Blue Origin 'space flight' in April – when Lauren and her five crew, including Perry, donned skin-tight space suits to blast to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere. The project attracted huge criticism for being a meaningless stunt. I am told the couple have not sent paper or email invitations, the better to sail under the radar. And they have trimmed their guest list to the bare bones. 'It is very sweet, very understated,' says a guest. 'It is not an ostentatious blow out. 'They understand that the space flight criticism was bad for a reason and are responding to it by being less 'Marie Antoinette'.' The source adds: 'People really underestimate Lauren and Jeff. Truly, they are good people. They don't want the wedding to be a lightning rod for inequities in the world. It's just a wedding.' That's as maybe, but the celebrations are still expected to take place at jaw-droppingly beautiful – and exclusive – locations. Sources in Venice believe the nuptials will happen at the Fondazione Cini – a monastery on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore. Crucially, it will be free on June 25 – the most likely day of the wedding – as it is closed to the public on Wednesdays. Having twice hosted the G7 summit, it can offer complete security and privacy and is close to where the Koru will dock. Sources also expect celebrations at the palazzo apartment owned by Bezos' close friend Diane von Furstenberg. Local sources indicate that all 79 rooms of the fabled Hotel Cipriani have been block booked from June 24-26. A suite in high season costs around £20,000 a night. The Cipriani boasts the largest swimming pool in Venice and the Casanova gardens, where the infamous seducer used to meet his conquests. The couple are also believed to have booked out the Aman Canal Grande, the 24-bedroom palazzo where George Clooney tied the knot with lawyer Amal in 2014. Plans are being co-ordinated with the mayor of Venice's office to minimise disruption but some locals concerned about overtourism are planning protests. 'This city is not for sale, it is not a playground for the rich,' said activist Ruggero Tallon.

Beautiful UK beach 'rivals Spanish coastline' with white sands and clear waters
A breathtaking UK beach has been named a firm contender for Spain's sandy shores thanks to its beautiful setting and crystal-clear waters The UK may not always be able to rival the sun-soaked weather you'll find in Spain, but our coastline is definitely giving the holiday hotspot a run for its money. In fact, there's one breathtaking UK beach that's been hailed as a competitor to Spanish shores, thanks to its pristine white sands, turquoise waters and picture-perfect surroundings that wouldn't be out of place on a postcard. Throw in the plethora of nearby hotels, restaurants and bars, and it's not difficult to see why Porthcurno Beach in Cornwall is such a hit with Brits planning a staycation. The National Trust site gets its white sands from the soft shells that form its shores, while the crystal-clear waters and freshwater stream make it a must-visit on those hot summer days. Wildlife fans may also want to keep their eyes peeled for the variety of birds that call the region home, not to mention you can even spot basking sharks and dolphins between May and October. The travel experts at have named it as one of their go-to 'dupes' for Spain, explaining: "If you're looking for a beach in the UK that offers white sand, dramatic cliffs, turquoise waters and lush greenery similar to the Costa Brava in north-east Spain, then head to Porthcurno Beach in Cornwall. "Reminiscent of a tropical paradise, the beach is framed by towering cliffs, providing a peaceful retreat from the wind, and a scenic backdrop that enhances its secluded and calm atmosphere. Lastly, the beach's clear waters make it ideal for swimming, snorkelling, and exploring marine life." Over on Tripadvisor, visitors have plenty of positive reviews of the shoreline, although a few have warned that the nearby car park can fill up quickly so you may want to have a few alternatives in your back pocket if you are planning to visit. "What a lovely beach," wrote one happy holidaymaker. "Fairly small bay with clean sand. It has quite a steep drop off so isn't great for children playing in the surf. It has toilets, a cafe and car park very close." Another added: "A must do on your trip to Cornwall. Parking is difficult so plan ahead. The sea positively sparkles in the sunlight. It's one of the most picturesque spots on the island." For one holidaymaker, even some bad luck with the weather couldn't affect the beauty of the area. They wrote: "Just stunning. One of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. First time at Porthcurno and will definitely be returning. Just hope it doesn't rain this time." Meanwhile, fans of the hit TV show Poldark may also recognise the spectacular coastline, as it served as a filming location. According to the National Trust, it doubled up as Nampara Cove in the first season, as well as the second series where it provided the backdrop for a dream sequence in which Demelza and Ross enjoy a stroll. There's plenty to see and do in the area too. One major highlight has to be the iconic Minack Theatre, a unique outdoor theatre that's built into the cliffs and overlooks sea, making for some seriously Instagram-worthy views. Meanwhile hikers may want to don their sturdy boots and take on one of the countless trails along the cliffs; the South West Coastal Path passes through the region if you're looking to tick it off the bucket list!
