Eating outdoors is one of the best things about summer, but with a gas barbecue you can cook all year round - even the turkey for Christmas! Gas barbecuing is quick as it only needs 10 minutes to heat up ready for cooking, so is ideal to use when time is tight.

A gas barbecue is easy to cook on - even a novice can master it quickly. It's really simple to control the temperature - the controls have a high and low setting, plus with models with a thermometer in the hood, you can see the temperature at a glance. we also sell all the tools and accessories you'll need.

Our range of barbecues offers something for everyone from the basic model to a top of the range 6-burner stainless steel model. Even if you buy a 6 burner barbecue, if cooking for two people you just light the burners you need!

With the barbecue set up service available in our shops, you can start enjoying your barbecue straight away. For a small fee, your barbecue can be delivered fully assembled - just ask in our shops for more details. Online we even offer express 48-hour delivery on some barbecues if the weather forecastgives you cause for optimism!

It's not just about the burgers - you can cook a complete meal on your gas barbecue. This video shows one of our chefs creating some great food, from roast beef to fruit kebabs - I can personally vouch for how delicious they are, and something I'll definitely be cooking!
