Tesco won the top prize for its £4 Fire Pit Chorizo Sausages – a 6 pack that scored 88/100 in the taste test.

Good housekeeping announced the winners today of its BBQ competition, just in time for the warmer weather.

The taste test looked at products available online and in-stores, comparing the best of the back-yard grill flavours so shoppers know exactly what to go for this summer.

Stacey Smith, from the Good Housekeeping Institute said: “This summer might be the first opportunity for many of us to spend quality time with much-missed family and friends.

“Catering for every budget and diet, it’s great to see value supermarkets compete with online butchers, alongside a swell of innovative meat-free products.”

Aldi was also hailed best in budget sausages with a score of 81/100 for their specially selected Monterey Jack and jalapeno hot dogs which were £1.99.

In the best burger category, £6.76 organic beef steak burgers took the crown – the burgers were from Eversfield and won with a score of 87/100.

The runner-up was Swaledale’s Steak Burgers, at £9 the burgers missed out on the top spot by 4 points with their £2.24 more price tag.

The king of kebabs title was awarded to Swaledale’s North African spiced lamb kofta kebab, which won the category and costs £8.

But for those going meat free on the barbecue this year, the crown for the best vegetarian burger goes to Waitrose for its aubergine and feta burgers  the supermarket has on offer.

The burgers won with a score of 88/100, and they cost £2.75 for a 2 pack.

And it wasn’t all about food either as some booze got in on the taste test too.

Mondo Brewing Co. Little Victories Session IPA which is £2.79 for 330ml came joint first with Brick Brewery Peckham Session, £2.79 for 330ml, winning the IPA category and refreshingly washing down the competition.
