SUMMER feels like it is already here in some parts of the UK and this week could be the perfect time to enjoy a barbecue in your garden.

It is possible to spend hundreds of pounds on a fancy grill, but there are also some cheap options if you don’t want to break the bank.

As always, make sure you shop around to check you are getting the best deal.

If you don't need a barbecue in the next few days, there are lots of other options with longer deliver times.

You could also check whether you can click and collect from retailers which may be faster than ordering for delivery.

But here are some of the best we found that you can get delivered in time for this weekend - and some charcoal you can burn on them too.

This basic charcoal barbecue from Argos is the ideal no-frills option if you just want to chuck a few burgers on the grill for dinner.

With a cooking area of 35cm x 35cm, it's perfectly sized for around four people. 

All standalone Argos stores are currently closed, but you can still order online.

Best of all, Argos has a next day delivery option and you can choose your time slot for delivery - although it costs £3.95.

Otherwise, you can click and collect at your local Sainsbury’s for free.

The Guardia charcoal grill is perfect for smaller gardens and balconies, or allows you to cook on the go.

The grill comes with chrome foldable legs for easy storage and transportation, and a closable lid to create an oven-like atmosphere.

It is currently in stock at The Range, where home delivery costs £3.95.

But standard delivery currently takes a week, so if you want it by the weekend you could opt for next-day delivery which costs £9.95.

This portable folding grill could be a good option if you are a bit short of space - simply fold down the legs and start cooking.

It is about the right size for three to five people.

The kit also contains a barbecue mat, barbecue brush and barbecue clip.

We found it on Amazon - and if you have Amazon Prime then you can order it for delivery tomorrow for free.

This box barbecue has a special coating which makes it easy to clean and maintain, as well as an aluminium-coated tray which is very heat resistant.

Its grill can be moved to different positions so you can control how much heat your food gets.

It also comes with a 15-year rust guarantee, so will last you a few summers.

BBQ World offers two-three day delivery, which costs £4.95, so you could have it in time for the weekend.

Where can I buy charcoal?

Your best bet for getting a bag of charcoal before the weekend is to look in your local supermarket.

Or if you have a grocery order coming, you could add a bag to that.

Sainsbury's has a bag of instant lighting charcoal for £5, while Tesco sells a 4kg bag of charcoal briquettes for £5.50.

Asda sells this 1.5kg bag of Big K Instant Light Charcoal Briquettes for £3.

If you think you are going to do a lot of barbecues this summer, it could be worth buying this huge 15kg bag of charcoal from Amazon for £32.19.

If you have Amazon Prime you will be able to get it this week.
