You don't say if they eat cheese or not.

Apart from the obvious Quorn/veggie sausages, veggie burgers, corn on the cob etc., there are some good ideas here.
The courgette and halloumi skewers look quite easy. And I quite like the look of the carrot and sesame burgers. |

If you have a bbq that gets smokey or can add some wood chips then try making your own baked beans.

If you want actual sausages and burgers, I would recommend Frys,You can get them from the freezer in your local Holland and Barret, they are a good quality and do not fall apart when on the BBQ.
I also like to make kebabs with onion,mushrooms,peppers and any other veggies you have in the house. I usually keep it simple, if it gets too fussy you end up spending too much time in prep and cooking. Oh and I ALWAYS make banana parcels for afters, make a boat of foil, put in a peeled banana, a large spoonful of golden syrup, and the juice from an orange with a bit of grated orange peel over the top, roll and seal the foil and pop on the BBQ after everyone has finished their savouries, a few minutes and you have a lovely pudding

Grilled haloumi is good, and goes down well with the meat eaters too.

Buy some 'Panner' (sainsburys and Tesco's sell this or try a local Indian shop).
Cut into cubes (not too small) Marinate it in a spicy tikka sauce (treat as if it were chicken) and then skewer and BBQ- yum! |

Bear in mind that veggies may not like stuff for them bbq'ed on same bbq as meat because of meat contamination.

'Normal' burgers/hot-dogs/chicken kebabs etc. but vegetarian versions made out of quorn etc.
One of my veggie friends always moans about being given rabbit food when he'd rather just have the 'same' thing as everyone else. I must admit I take his point. I would become a vegetarian but until I can go into Subway and get 'vegetarian ham' or go into McDonalds and get a 'vegetarian big-mac' I'm not interested. I don't want some sort of weird substitute. I know that might sound hypocritical but a Linda-McCartney burger in a nice bun with cheese and ketchup tastes the same to me as a beef-burger. They're both highly processed, but one is more ethical than the other! |

I like banana in a shish kebab - mushroom,banana,pepper,red onion.
Admittedly I also have lamb in mine but the veggie version is nice too

Not having a go but it seems strange to me. Plenty of good veggie food available without having to have fake meat.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I do love grilled corn on the cob, without foil. When the blackened stripes caramelise they make the corn super sweet

If you can get corn with the husk still on then it makes for a nice snack. You basically blacken it and it steams but also gets that smokey hint. You can also put it on to char for the last couple of minutes.
In Mexico they coat the corn in mayo and queso fresco but you can use finely grated feta or just slather it in melted butter

I would recommend roasted vegetable kebabs, do a couscous salad or some rice with it and it's lovely. Some supermarkets also do fresh vegetable burgers, made of mushrooms or beans etc that tasted lovely when BBQed. Or a baked potato/sweet potato with some salad. The BBC Good Food website has some nice ideas. Most of my friends do the Quorn burgers or LM sausages when doing BBQs, they taste ok as well. |
