Wilko's slashes price of summer garden ‘must-have' that transforms your barbecue into ‘restaurant quality perfection'
WILKO has slashed the price of a summer garden "must-have" that transforms your barbecue into "restaurant quality perfection".
With the recent hot weather, outdoor pizza oven sales have soared as garden party hosts look to make amazing meals in the sun.
But instead of splashing out on a bulky, expensive pizza oven, there's a smarter solution that Wilko now has on offer - the BBQ Pizza Oven attachment.
Priced at just £29.99 at the moment instead of £39.99, the attachment amazingly transforms your existing barbecue into a mini pizza oven.
Pizza ovens often cost hundreds, making it a great alternative if you're still wanting "restaurant-quality pizza" without "the hefty price tag," Wilko says.
Additionally, it works with both gas and charcoal cooking, and it can also be used to prepare meat, fish, and other dishes.
The oven comes with a pizza stone and insulation to ensure quick and even heat distribution, resulting in perfectly cooked meals.
It's also said to be lightweight and easy to clean with its stainless steel interior.
The attachment also comes fully assembled, so there's no hassle in setting it up.
But shoppers are warned that the whopping £10 discount on the item won't last, so hurry if you want to buy.
Remember, it's always worth shopping around for deals to make sure you get the best price.
Similarly, Lidl sells a Grillmeister Barbecue Pizza Oven for the bargain price of £29.99.
The oven can be used on charcoal or gas barbecues and the budget supermarket claims its perfect for creating pizzas with a delicious crispy base.
The design features a removable pizza stone and integrated thermostat.
For comparison, premium kitchen appliance manufacturer Ninja is selling an artisan electric outdoor pizza oven and air fryer for £299.99.
Its pizza oven is a similar size to Lidl's but uses electricity rather than the heat of a barbecue to cook the pizza, with several cooking settings available.
The dupe became available in Lidl stores from April 17 for a limited time only.
When shopping the supermarket's special deals remember to always check prices against other retailers to ensure you really are getting the best deal.
To do this you can use online tools such as Trolley.co.uk or Google Shopping.
But you should always have a quick shop around first as you might be able to find a similar product cheaper elsewhere.
Prices vary by model, size and retailer so it's worth having a browse elsewhere before you make a decision.
Ooni is one of the most popular manufacturers of pizza ovens, but depending on the model you buy it'll set you back between £299.99 and £799.99 - so it's an investment.
B&Q's Livingandhome Black Portable Pizza Oven is the cheapest we've found and it costs £141.
And remember, it's only a good deal if you were wanting an air fryer in the first place - if you get it just because of the offer, you aren't necessarily saving money.
How to save money on pizza
TAKEAWAY pizzas taste great but they can hit you hard on your wallet. Here are some tips on how to save on pizza:
Cashback websites - TopCashback and Quidco will pay you to order your pizza through them. They're paid by retailers for every click that comes to their website from the cashback site, which eventually trickles down to you. So you'll get cashback on orders placed through them.
Discount codes - Check sites like VoucherCodes for any discount codes you can use to get money off your order.
Make you own topping - One savvy customer noticed that Domino's charges up to 70p MORE for pizzas on its menu compared to ordering the same one through the "create your own" option. It's worth trying out to see if it makes a difference before you place your next order.
Buy it from the shops - It might not taste exactly the same but you'll save the most money by picking up your favourite pizza from your local supermarket. Some Asda stores sell freshly made ones from the pizza counter where prices start at £2.

Corby residents fear safeguards ignored by warehouse plan
Residents have raised concerns that the demolition of a warehouse has been "waved through without basic safeguards" by a Northamptonshire Council said it was investigating "at pace" after homeowners complained of procedural mistakes made by the Reform UK-controlled authority over the demolition of the Avarto warehouse on Earlstrees Road in Arvato - which acquired the building after it was sold by Avon last May - has been approached for comes soon after warehouse construction began on another street in Corby when the council mistakenly carried out its consultation on the scheme on the wrong road. In February, people living on Hooke Close described their outrage after construction work on the warehouse started in their council's consultation on the scheme was mistakenly carried out in Hubble Road, about half a mile reported by the Local Democracy Reporting Service, the same group of homeowners said people living near the Earlstrees Road site had not been sent a works notification letter from Arvato, which is legally required before any demolition works can building is next door to a former Weetabix factory, which was unlawfully granted planning permission to be replaced with a warehouse. Jamie Hume, spokesperson for the residents' group, said: "We are not anti-development, we are anti-doing-things-backwards."You don't knock down a building before you know you can rebuild and you don't ignore protected wildlife and public health just because its quicker."The council promised change after the former Weetabix factory.

Winter fuel U-turn should have come a long time ago, Reeves told
The decision to reinstate the winter fuel payment should have been made 'a long time ago', Scotland's Social Justice Secretary has said. Chancellor Rachel Reeves said on Monday that nine million pensioners will be in receipt of the payment this year after a cut was announced in the first weeks of the Labour Government last summer. The initial decision was met with heavy backlash and forced the Scottish Government to delay the implementation of its own devolved benefit. John Swinney's administration later announced a similar payment for pensioners which would be tapered and see those on the highest incomes receiving £100, compared to £305.10 for those on the least. Monday's announcement will result in cash being sent to the devolved administration at Holyrood, and Scottish Labour has urged the Government to increase its payments. But Scotland's Social Justice Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville said the decision was 'a betrayal' of pensioners. 'I welcome any extension of eligibility by the UK Government, but this is a U-turn the Chancellor should have made a long time ago,' she said. 'But there is still no detail about how the Chancellor intends to go about that. Unfortunately, it still sounds as if many pensioners will miss out.' Ms Somerville added that the Scottish Government had not been consulted on the decision and urged UK ministers to 'ensure the Scottish Government is fully appraised of the proposed changes as soon as possible'. 'The Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government wrote to the Chief Secretary to the Treasury last week to urge the UK Government to share its plans with us as quickly as possible, so that we can understand any implications for our own programmes and, crucially, our budget,' she said. Scottish Labour MSP Paul O'Kane said: 'The winter fuel payment is a devolved payment in Scotland and Scottish Labour has long been clear that we want to see it reinstated for the majority of pensioners up here – but despite their loud spin, the SNP voted against our attempts to do so. 'The SNP must not go ahead with plans that would rob poorer pensioners in order to fund payments for millionaires. 'The SNP must re-examine their own proposals in light of this game-changing announcement, ensure payments reach those most in need, and give a cast-iron guarantee that no struggling Scottish pensioners will be left out of pocket under their plans.' The Scottish Government's plans were initially to provide a universal payment to pensioners, but the proposals were scuppered by the Chancellor's announcement of the cut last summer, forcing ministers to create a different system for this winter.

R360 league delusional and commercially unsustainable — TNT chief
TNT Sports and Premiership Rugby chiefs have taken aim at the proposed rebel league, R360, calling it 'delusional' and 'commercially unsustainable'. TNT have said that they will not consider broadcasting the new competition, which is slated to begin next year, while Premiership executives feel they are being 'gaslit' by those trying to start it. Promotional material for R360, which has been seen by The Times, talks about how much club rugby is struggling on and off the pitch, an analysis Premiership figures no longer recognise. Premiership Rugby says it has one million new fans, including a 30 per cent growth in supporters between the ages of 18 to 34, and has also grown its television audience on TNT by the same amount. It has signed a fresh contract with the broadcaster until 2031. At stadiums, there have been 30 sold-out matches this season — compared to 18 last year and 13 the year before that — and this weekend's Gallagher Premiership final between Leicester Tigers and Bath at Twickenham has long been a sell-out. The Bath-Bristol play-off semi-final last weekend had the most viewers of any Friday night match in TNT Sports history, with hundreds of thousands of fans tuning in. Therefore, they are not prepared to engage with R360 as they believe in the strength of their product on and off the field, and think they have drawn a line under a period of instability that resulted in three top-flight clubs — Worcester Warriors, Wasps and London Irish — going bust in 2022. While some Premiership executives have welcomed the disruption R360 is causing, they will not entertain any conversations with a new competition that threatens to devalue theirs. Particularly scathing about R360's plans was Andrew Georgiou, the president and managing director of Warner Brothers Discovery — the company that owns TNT Sports. 'I've been involved in sport for 25 years. I can't tell you how many of these PowerPoint presentations I've come across my desk with people who were absolutely certain that what they had on that page was going to be the new thing,' Georgiou said. 'No one's come to us and made a presentation, no one's told us what the new format is, no one told us what the new schedule is. But the one question that I think should be asked is, how are they going to grow the revenue by putting this event on? 'Where's the money coming from? The media industry is going through a massive generational change. So if these folks believe that they are going to grow the revenue by putting this thing on, I think they're delusional. 'What it will do is further complicate what is already a well-functioning rugby ecosystem. The fact that it's being likened to LIV Golf, I think is a perfect analogy. It's a perfect comparator to what this is really going to be. Commercially unsustainable. Lions preview show This Thursday, Owen Slot, chief sports writer at The Times, will host an unmissable discussion about rugby's most iconic touring team. Joining him will be former Lions legends Lawrence Dallaglio and Sam Warburton, alongside Times journalists Stephen Jones and Mark Palmer. 'I think you've got to park what players have to do versus actually, what's the long-term sustainable model that this thing's going to create and does it actually grow the ecosystem or not? And I'm thoroughly unconvinced.' Asked if TNT would therefore not consider broadcasting R360 if it came to life, Georgiou said: 'You bet.' R360, run by a group including the England World Cup winner Mike Tindall and former Bath director of rugby Stuart Hooper, plans to launch in 2026. It takes inspiration from F1 and cricket's Indian Premier League, and wants to establish a grand prix-style travelling league that would feature eight men's franchises and a four-team professional women's competition. They have signed players to contracts already, including a number of those selected by Andy Farrell for the British & Irish Lions squad, which will be activated if the R360 franchise owners can meet broadcasting rights and team ownership targets. They intend to pay the world's top 40 players more than £1million. The organisers have received bids for their teams from Premier League, Formula 1 and NFL team owners and are looking to tap into the expertise of franchise owners and investors from some of the biggest sports competitions in the world in order to transform rugby. Simon Massie-Taylor, the chief executive of Premiership Rugby, believes that the work his organisation has done to right itself — from establishing financial monitoring groups and more stringent salary cap regulations, to signing a better Professional Game Partnership with the RFU and improved marketing, branding and promotion of the league — means the league can see off this attack from R360. 'The R360 thing is a distraction, sure, but it's not grounded in the same amount of work and detail that we've been doing,' he said. 'Rugby needs roots, it doesn't need pop-ups. Without those roots, it's very difficult to understand how their system could ever work. 'That one person who's going to turn up on a go out on the field, there's a whole system, a whole team, a whole grassroots network that needs to develop that person beyond just rocking up. 'I'd be worried if players are counting on that [contracts they have signed] because they may miss out on genuine opportunities that exist within their club. Things need sanctioning for a start and things need money coming through the door before these people can actually get paid.'
