BBQ from Cyprus

mapryan

Hi

Recently we had a holiday in Cyprus and the villa that we stayed in had a fantastic BBQ. All the local shops had them on sale for around £20- but sadly we didn't have enough room in the suitcases to bring one back with us.

I had a look round when I got back, but they seem to be significantly more expensive here in the UK. This in an example of the kind of thing, but their equivalent model is £100- +

Has anyone seen these for sale anywhere for cheaper?

Thanks and Regards

Might be worth looking around in local garden centres.

Or alternatively go for the very cheap and very practical Lidl one this week at £9.99 - or better still buy 2 and keep one as a fresh one for next year, by which time you'll understand how to assemble it (the instructions last year were as clear as mud and I took many wrong steps in assembling one, but the results were impressive for the price - eg £10 material, £100 labour)

Are you in London?

You'll need to go to somewhere like Green Lanes where you'll pick up a BBQ with the 3 souvla sticks and souvlaki skewers for about £50.

Don't know many places that do mail order and you'll hate me for saying this but you really didn't need to bring it back in you suitcase! Just wrap it and check it in in the cardboard box!

Wow, just seen the prices that website charge! Forget that.

Thanks for the replies. I was specifically the Cypriot style ones we were looking for. The have this great rotisserie system and it runs for hours on a single battery.

Paphos Gooner, I am in London - in SW12. It's the Greens Lane in Hackney, right? Any particular shop you can recommend?

Cheers

Yeah, Green Lanes in North London: http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=532500&Y=190000&width=700&height=400&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=GB&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&keepicon=&zm=0&scale=50000&down.x=272&down.y=1

Just start at one end of the road and walk or drive down till you see a Cypriot butchers or grocery shop selling one.

Mmmm, jummy.
