What comes off the grill
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
