Aldi bringing back summer cult favourite for £100 cheaper than last year – and it's perfect for garden parties
New folding shelves, smoking features and bargain price make this a must-buy BBQ BACK Aldi bringing back summer cult favourite for £100 cheaper than last year – and it's perfect for garden parties BBQ lovers are rejoicing after Aldi confirmed the return of a summer cult favourite - and it's £100 cheaper than last year. Perfect for garden parties, the top-rated Kamado BBQ is landing in stores just in time for the bank holiday season — but you'll have to be quick if you want one. 3 The Kamado BBQ is officially hitting stores this May Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk 3 And it's set to be the ultimate garden party essential for 2025 Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk The supermarket giant announced on X: 'The Kamado BBQ will be available in stores on the 08/05/2025.' Shoppers have already been on the hunt, with one frustrated fan posting: 'Went out looking for the new Kamado egg at @aldiuk but none in any local branches.' But there's good news, the Kamado BBQ is officially hitting stores this May. And it's set to be the ultimate garden party essential for 2025. Landing at just £299.99, it's a serious bargain compared to the celebrity-favourite Big Green Egg, which costs a whopping £850 for even the smaller models. You may remember Aldi's Kamado BBQ from a few summers ago when it first caused a storm. Shoppers snapped it up within days. Now it's making a grand return — upgraded, improved, and ready to sizzle all summer long. Aldi's Specialbuy BBQ is packed with premium features, including a stainless steel grill rack and a built-in temperature gauge. It's cleverly designed with a fold to help trap heat and prevent smoke from escaping. For 2025, Aldi has added some updates. The new model comes with removable folding wooden boards — giving you extra space to prep your food or serve up dishes straight from the grill. Plus, it's versatile. You can smoke, chargrill, sear, and, of course, barbecue, giving it many of the same functions as BBQs that cost triple the price. If you're more into gas BBQs, Aldi hasn't forgotten you. Their Four Burner Gas BBQ lands in stores on April 27 and will cost just £199.99. In comparison, the Big Green Egg is considered the king of BBQs — loved by pro chefs and serious foodies alike. But with Aldi's Kamado offering similar features at a fraction of the cost, it's a no-brainer for budget-conscious grillers. Here's how Aldi's version stacks up against the big names: The Aldi Kamado BBQ, priced at just £299.99, features folding wooden boards, supports a full range of cooking styles, and offers a massive saving compared to high-end brands. In contrast, the MiniMax Big Green Egg comes in at £850, offering compact but powerful performance with professional-grade cooking capabilities—though it carries a heavy price tag to match its heavy-duty design. For those considering even pricier options, the Kamado Joe BBQ is available online but will set you back around £1,377.99 on Amazon. So if you want the full Kamado experience without the financial burn, Aldi's version could be the way to go. Aldi isn't stopping at BBQs either. The supermarket is also bringing back the hugely popular Belavi BBQ Pizza Oven, and it's flying off shelves for just £29.99. Compared to the Ninja Electric Outdoor Oven, which can set you back a hefty £330, Aldi's dupe offers an eye-watering saving of £300. The Belavi Pizza Oven is packed with features. It includes a fire box, a ceramic pizza stone, and a grill that works with both gas and charcoal BBQs. It can whip up a 12-inch pizza in just 10 minutes, making it perfect for impromptu garden gatherings. Plus, it has a cool-touch handle and an easy-to-use temperature control that heats from 0C to 200C in 5C increments. If you're planning summer get-togethers, Aldi's also restocked two more outdoor must-haves. First up is the Portable BBQ, now back in stores for £49.99. That's a massive saving compared to John Lewis's LotusGrill Mini, which sells for £140, making Aldi's version £90 cheaper. This battery-powered BBQ comes with an integrated fan and a handy carry case, making it ideal for camping, festivals, or small garden spaces. If you miss out, there's a similar one available at Amazon for £39.99 — though shoppers say Aldi's version is 'easy to use' and 'perfect for camping trips'. And for those cooler evenings, Aldi's Portable Firepit is also back, priced at just £24.99. It comes with fold-down legs, a poker, and a carry bag — making it easy to pack away or take on trips. You'll find the XL Outdoor Rug for just £12.99, available in stripey cream or modern grey geometric prints, perfect for making your outdoor space feel cosy and stylish. Also coming soon are Solar Hot Air Balloon Lights (£6.99 each) in bright colour options, complete with a realistic flaming effect. When's the best time to shop at Aldi? WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy. For reduced items - when shops open. Red sticker items are rare at Aldi's 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found - if you're quick. A spokesman for the supermarket said: "All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates." That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens. Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store's times by using the supermarket's online shop finder tool. For Specialbuys - Thursdays and Sundays Specialbuys are Aldi's weekly collection of items that it doesn't normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools. New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals. For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store's opening time. Remember: once they're gone, they're gone, so if there's something you really want, visit as early as possible
