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?

Sounds a tad municipal, wouldnt say nice bbq, more basic bbq.

@WowIlikereallyhateyou What should I add to the burgers and chicken kebabs? There are only 4 adults and 2 kids, we’ll be stuffed 😅

I’d add an alternative meat. Probably chicken

Imo the perfect bbq is steak, sausage, marinated chicken thigh, garlic bread, salad, tabbouleh and coleslaw. I think you need.more meat

Sausage/salmon/steak/koftas etc, all options.

So should I add sausages too? Cheeseburgers, chicken kebabs and sausages? God…how do people eat all that..🤣and I like my food

You dont have vast quantities, just a bit of each. I would loose the chips/dips and the wedges and go for some cous cous or potato salad instead,but thats just me.

Have you invited people for ‘a BBQ’ or to come over for a meal?

If there’s only 6 of you, and you’re just using the BBQ instead of the oven, it’s fine. Do t stress.

If you’re ‘catering a BBQ’ and the barbecued food is the whole point, add some other stuff.

What I’d do is have burgers, kebabs and sausages in, or salmon/veggie, and ask what people would prefer. I’d skip a burger and go for the other stuff, kids might only want sausages etc.

I’d 100% swap the potato wedges for a potato salad, it just “goes” with barbecue food better imo. Definitely add coleslaw!

I don’t think you need to add ALL the suggestions on the thread – it depends as pp above says, is this a meal where some components happen to be barbecued, or a barbecue where the barbecuing is the event?

Id be a bit disappointed to only have burgers as not a fan of them, I'd add sausages and chicken drumsticks, lose the corn on the cob & wedges, have coleslaw & potato salad, and pitta on the BBQ

Have you never been to a BBQ before

I have and never seen one with just one meat option such as burgers

You need at least sausages, ideally some chicken too

I think with bbqs you expect a variety…. But it won’t necessarily all be eaten.
So I’d expect a range of meats but might only have a skewer and a sausage and a spoon full of the other salads and a pudding.

I would loose the burget buns too.

Most people would expect a burger to be served in a bun…

I'm doing a bbq tomorrow for 38 people.

I have prepared marinated chicken thighs, pork chops, burgers (with buns and cheese slices) and sausages.

Then I have vegetable skewers, coleslaw, pasta salad and green salad.

For the vegans I have beyond burgers and some sausages.

Cakes and ice cream for dessert.

People will also bring something to contribute, so I decided just to cover the basics.

Don’t lose the burger buns!

A bunless burger is a sad thing

For me it needs more meat. That's all I eat at bbq's though. Forget the salad and sides - just give me a big plate of meat 🥩

Get proper burger buns not those poncey brioche ones.

WTF?

Whois it for.?

Noooo

Who is this for?

As your evening meal for the people who live at home, it's lovely.

For guests, it's a bit limited. Needs a few more bits to actually BBQ.

Competitive MN BBQing is very funny.

OP, your BBQ is fine.

Don't worry about cooking too much meat ... cold barbecue meat the following day is heaven!
