Autumn offers the perfect excuse to hunker down and stay cosy at home, and whether you’re dining in with our family, or even inviting friends round for a seasonal dinner party, we’ve found the perfect centrepiece for your table.

Aldi has conjured up a pumpkin casserole dish that’s perfect for warming stews or hotpots, and it offers the cutest autumnal addition to your cookware at home. Even better, this £19.99 dish is just a fraction of the price of a very similar design from Le Creuset.

Aldi’s pumpkin casserole dish is available in two colours: a Halloween-ready, classic orange or an earthy cream shade.

Pumpkin casserole dish, £19.99, available to pre-order 

Suitable for oven use, Aldi’s latest kitchen must-have is designed to maximise deliciousness, with a tight-fitting lid to ensure all the flavours stay sealed in and a 2.2L capacity. Topped with a golden pumpkin stalk which doubles as a sturdy and stylish handle, shoppers can serve with ease this Halloween to reveal all the treats, minus the tricks.

While Aldi’s version costs £19.99, the original Le Creuset pumpkin dish is £269. With lifelike features and colour, the cast iron pumpkin casserole dish features a hearty 3.7L capacity and a flat base conducive to easy stirring, perfect for simmering stews or soups.
