How far would you go to accommodate a vegan?

In a few weeks we're hosting a bbq for my Husband's birthday.

We have about a dozen guests coming, one of whom is vegan. As we don't normally buy vegan food I've started looking at what we'd normally buy and what is and isn't vegan. To make sure the vegan has the same variety of choice as everyone else I'm going to have to spend quite a bit on alternatives. As we have the non vegan alternatives we won't be eating the vegan versions, so they'll either go home with the guest or be thrown.

How much would you accommodate a vegan?

Would I be unreasonable to provide vegan burger with vegan cheese, plus bun and nothing else or do I need to go the whole hog and get vegan sausages, vegan condiments and vegan coleslaw?

Ps they are vegan by choice, not for medical reasons

Vegan burger with vegan cheese is fine. You will be having salads etc I imagine as well

It is really hard to find vegan food at a supermarket.

Well there's veggie burgers and Quorn mince, I've seen some fake meat kebabs.
A lot of vegans don't like those though. I don't when I'm veggie.
However I tend to bring my own food. So I guess I have the 'moral high ground' here. I treat others exactly how I expect to be treated, so they can hardly complain.

I suspect that the meat aisle is the only aisle without vegan food in it.

Do you only shop in the meat aisle at the supermarket?

Well you're really bad at jokes. Maybe try juggling instead?
