Forecasts for temperatures around the 20C mark have set up the August Bank Holiday for probably the last big BBQ parties of the year.
Since last Thursday sales at Tesco of typical BBQ foods like burgers, sausages, fish and plant-based meat alternatives plus beers and wines have been in high demand.
And as a result of a 25% off six bottles of wine and fizz (Clubcard deal members only) running from until Monday, Tesco predicts it expects to sell more wine than beer over the Bank Holiday weekend.
Tesco BBQ meat buyer Lucy Draper said: “This August Bank Holiday is likely to see the last big BBQ parties of the year with schools starting up again the following week and people returning to the UK from their summer holidays.
“Also a result of a wetter than normal summer, Brits have had fewer BBQ occasions than usual to enjoy so we believe many people will seize the chance for one last hurrah and go all out to invite family and friends over to enjoy the great outdoors.”
Across the Bank Holiday period Tesco expects to sell:
1.25 million packs of sausages
Over 300,000 packs of burgers
Over 225,000 plant-based meat alternatives
Over 1 million packs of fish
Over 300,000 packs of BBQ meat
Over 1 million packs of burger and hot dog rolls
Over1 million punnets of strawberries
Almost 300,000 packs of Greek/salad cheese
Over 2.25 million ice creams and lollies
Over 4 million bottles/cans of beer
Almost 8000 bottles of Pimms
Over 300,000 packs of ice cubes
Over 500,000 cartons of fresh cream
Over 5 million bottles of wine
Something in the region of 100,000 bags of BBQ fuel
