I tried supermarkets’ BBQ sauces – the winner is cheap as chips and has a spicy kick

BBQ season is firmly upon us and no sizzler is complete without the right sauce to slather over burgers, sausages and chicken. We decided to give them all a go.

Quite thick and sweet, with a deep colour and a lovely smoky flavour. Tasted like one of the higher end products but a fraction of the price.

Very thick, delicious and more-ish. Lovely as a condiment but also as a marinade during BBQ season, although pricier than supermarket rivals.

Undeniably delicious, but not cheap. Full-bodied and rich, made with tomato puree and smoky flavouring. Loved it.

Cheap as chips, but very tasty too, with a rich, caramel taste and a spicy kick. Overall this was my winner.

Good price, but it's neither sweet or smoky enough and the tomato flavour was slightly off. The recipe needs a rethink.

I tried supermarkets’ BBQ sauces – the winner is cheap as chips and has a spicy kick

BBQ season is firmly upon us and no sizzler is complete without the right sauce to slather over burgers, sausages and chicken. We decided to give them all a go.

Quite thick and sweet, with a deep colour and a lovely smoky flavour. Tasted like one of the higher end products but a fraction of the price.

M&S Barbecue Sauce (500g)

£1.40 Taste: 10/10 Value: 9/10

19/20

Very thick, delicious and more-ish. Lovely as a condiment but also as a marinade during BBQ season, although pricier than supermarket rivals.

Stokes BBQ Sauce (315g)

£2.80 Taste: 9/10 Value: 7/10

16/20

Quite runny and tasted too sweet. Not my favourite overall.

Tesco Fire Pit Kansas Style BBQ Sauce (300g)

£1.50 Taste: 6/10 Value: 5/10

11/20

Undeniably delicious, but not cheap. Full-bodied and rich, made with tomato puree and smoky flavouring. Loved it.

Bull's-Eye Original BBQ Sauce (355g)

£2 Taste: 10/10 Value: 7/10

17/20

Cheap as chips, but very tasty too, with a rich, caramel taste and a spicy kick. Overall this was my winner.

Lidl Batts Classic Barbecue Sauce (500ml)

89p Taste: 10/10 Value: 10/10

20/20

Good price, but it's neither sweet or smoky enough and the tomato flavour was slightly off. The recipe needs a rethink.
