Savings of the week! Bistro set

THE Parisian bistro is a place to enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine and watch the world go by.

The bistro, in turn, gives its name to the popular garden furniture set: a table and two chairs. Some can be found at bargain prices.

The Milano set (black rattan chairs with a steel-and-glass top table) from T.J. Hughes is down 50 per cent from £140 to £70 ( tjhughes. co.uk).

The black Norfolk Leisure Delano set at Robert Dyas costs £209.99, down 25 per cent from £279.99. It’s perfect for enjoying a coffee on a balcony.

The £139.99 black, brown and grey set from The Range has two cushioned rattan armchairs plus a table. It is reduced by 7 per cent from £149.99 (therange.co.uk).

You can save £50 on the elegant Frampton grey rattan set with round table and two chairs from the Cotswold Company which was £695 and is now £645.
