Is this a nice bbq?

[Savemyusernameplease]

Crisps & dips, cheeseburgers on burger baps, large salad, spicy wedges, corn on the cob, strawberries & ice cream for dessert?

What would you add/change?

More meat

This is very basic

I'd add sausages and some chicken varieties

It's your basic, no frills BBQ fare. Nothing offensive. Sounds nice 👌

It’s a bit of a stretch to call it a bbq when the only thing being put on it is a burger (maybe the corn on the cob at a stretch), I’d feel a bit shortchanged if I was invited to one and there was only one meat option. I’d ditch at least one of the sides and add way more meat/veggie/halloumi options

Some other BBQ items would be good. As others have said above and some fish too. Veggie tofu kebabs. BBQ cauliflower steaks. Potato salad. Rainbow coleslaw. Add Hot Brownies and ice cream and pavlova to your dessert table.

I'm all about the cheeseburgers and hot dogs at a BBQ so I wouldn't be bothered about anything fancy.

I’d add chipolata sausages (they cook fast so less time to burn). If no one’s vegetarian I think that’s fine, otherwise I’d add veg skewers and halloumi.

I’d just make sure there’s loads of it as people might have quite a bit of one thing if there isn’t much variety.

Add some prawns, some veggie sausages, some halloumi, maybe some kebabs?

And a variety of salads.

I think it depends on who's attending.

My brother would be disappointed as he's all about the meat! We usually do spare ribs and the kids love sausages on a stick. We also do marshmallows and have chocolate digestives to squash them between. BBQ brownies with ice cream. I'm veggie, so veggie burgers. Potato salad is good as well.

Maybe some corn on the cobs?

Lucky, lucky vegetarians.

Literally says corn on the cobs in the OP😂

Wouldn’t suit me as I don’t eat burgers but I’m not invited 😀

I don't recall the Op saying anything about vegetarians attending the BBQ.

So the bbq is just burgers and corn then? I wouldn’t bother firing the thing up for that! What about prawns, steaks, pork belly, halloumi, chicken skewers, lamb kebabs, marinated drumsticks, sweet peppers, sausages.

Honestly it sounds ok but I'd be a bit disappointed if I was invited to a BBQ and that's what I was served. Your sides sound great but I agree with others that something else on the actual BBQ would be good. Even just some sausages!

By comparison, I usually do sausages (so I know the kids will eat something), some halloumi and then one other thing like burgers, marinated chicken, little steaks, pork belly etc. I think a pp's description of it as a nice dinner but a bit light on actual BBQ sounds right.

OP, you don't have to buy the entire contents of Waitrose to have a BBQ.

Burgers and sausages are fine.

Is anyone else getting really hungry reading this thread? 😂

You have the 'enormous' salad, that will feed the veggies.

Not much is actually barbecued so I wouldn’t call it a barbecue. More of a buffet.

Given that there's a cost of living crisis, I say, that works fine and only buy/serve what doesn't put you out of pocket.

Do the imaginary veggies at the OPs BBQ not eat spicy wedges and corn on the cob then?

You need more stuff on the bbq I think

I love a BBQ but mainly for the different salads people bring, homemade potato salad, homemade coleslaw, couscous as well as lettuce etc. Happy with sausages and burgers.
