There’s nothing quite like the smell of a barbecue on a hot summer’s afternoon. That unique mix of sizzling sausages, juicy burgers and fried onions that drifts across the air from garden to garden. And after such a wet and miserable spring, we’re all looking forward to the chance to get out in the garden with our friends and families and light up the barbecue for some social outdoor eating in the summer sunshine. So make sure you’re prepared for the second the sun comes out, with the great range of barbecues at Shackletons.

At Shackletons, we know that barbecuing is a very personal thing, with some people preferring the instant heat and clean convenience of the gas barbecue, while others prefer the authentic smoky flavours of a traditional charcoal grill. That’s why we stock a huge selection of barbecues for you to choose from, in every style and every fuel – all with our price match promise. If you find the same barbecue for less anywhere else, we’ll match the lower price straight away. We’ll even deliver free when you spend over £100 on your new barbecue and garden furniture.

Shackletons have a wide choice of barbecues from all the leading names, including Outback, Outdoor Chef and Lifestyle, in a range of sizes to suit any garden and any size of party. We also stock the stylish La Hacienda barbecues, which double as a warming Chimnea once the cooking is done. What’s more, we have all the garden furniture you need to make your barbecue party a success, including luxurious day beds and loungers.

So get set for summer with Shackletons today and make sure your house is the social hub of your neighbourhood with our brilliant barbecue range.
