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?

not really my cup of tea, I think if you’re going to bbq then have lots of lovely fish, marinaded meats etc. I’m not keen on wedges, I would do interesting salads, and meats, usually I do either Greek/Turkish or Middle Eastern themes. But if you love burgers and wedges then you’ll love it and that’s surely the most important bit?!

Veggie option - halloumi or paneer tikka skewers 😋

I’d be missing sausages / chicken skewers / coleslaw / potato salad. Not everyone loves burgers.

Tbh if I was invited to a bbq, I'd be a bit disappointed to find burgers were the only thing on offer. Doesn't really seem worth firing it up for. I'd add some sausages, chicken, and maybe fish and/or halloumi.

Veggie option? I’d add few different types of salads and some potato salad, coleslaw & cous cous. Kebab skewers with meat or (&) veggies, hot dogs with buns and maybe some halloumi. Unless you’re BBQing for a tiny handful of people then I understand the lack of options because it would be a lot of food to buy.

A good meal does not have be all bells and whistles. It sounds good to me OP!

When we do a bbq we have burgers, sausages and lamp chops for meat as well as halloumi, corn on the cob and jacket potatoes for the vegetarians. I usually make some homemade garlic bread or focaccia as well to have with sides of coleslaw, potato salad, Greek salad and olives. If my whole family’s coming I may even add some chicken drumsticks. Your menu does seem very basic - ok for just your immediate family but not if you’re having company.

What? You need sausages..chicken skewers... corn on the cob... belly pork..

Oooh yes!

There are no sausages...

I'd just put burgers in the grill. Wouldn't be worth the hassle of getting out the BBQ just for those.

Agree. I would add a potato or pasta salad, a plain green salad is meh and not really a bbq side. I would add some chicken skewers and a veg option too. Some garlic rolls under the grill are always nice too.

LOL. MN salad 😅

Haven’t read the thread but if this is a bbq is it just burger patties that will go on the grill?

I would consider doing chicken pieces or kebabs, sausages - meat or veggie if you’re having veggie friends over.

Coleslaw is a nice accompaniment for barbecued meat/fish.

Watermelon is good too.

All those saying only burgers on the grill, surely you'd barbecue the corn and wedges too? I think it sounds nice. If it was for a party I might do a pasta, potato or grain salad and a veggie option - the ubiquitous halloumi or veg kebabs, and perhaps some lamb cutlets or chicken drumsticks to add to the burgers, but if it's just a family BBQ on a Friday evening, the menu sounds great. Maybe some giant marshmallows for toasting later.

Its a nice dinner....but not a bbq. More of it is cooked off the bbq or cold than on it.

I'd skip the wedges, unless you have someone that desperately wants them. I wouldn't want to turn on the oven AND the bbq.

Sausages and burgers minimum. Chicken thighs go nicely. We had a bit of an impromptu bbq with my parents the other day and had one of each, with corn on the cob and a couple of rolls.

For guests, some of the kofta style kebabs and flat breads if you're wanting something other than burger buns.

Of course going all out, ribs, slow cooked for hours, Wings.

Halloumi, veggie burgers and sausages. Grilled Cauliflower steaks, stuffed peppers might work.

Oh I'm hungry now...

All those saying only burgers on the grill, surely you'd barbecue the corn and wedges too?

Surely bbq-ing wedges is a PITA! I admit I’ve never done it!

Loaded potato skins

Some pasta with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, grated cheese all mixed in with Mayo

I'm not sure you've thought this through Gwen....

Ok thanks, thought was a bit basic, but I’m not used to having like a huge range of meat on the bbq 🤣We’re abroad and basically just have it out every day, so have one meat or fish etc
I think I’ll change wedges to potatoes wrapped in foil on the bbq and add coleslaw and chicken and pepper, onion kebabs. Would I really need potato salad *And potatoes though 🤷🏻‍♀️Seems weird
Will toast marshmallows too and dc like doing that
Should I go for strawberries & ice cream or just a nice cheesecake instead?

Yeah I'd at the very least add Sausages!

It’s pretty boring, is the 🌽 being bbq’d? I’d add another bbq dish and lose a course of dips or desserts

You don't need potato salad. Definitely add coleslaw though. If it's just for a family dinner, your original menu sounds fine.
