Navigating a barbecue as a vegetarian can be daunting - and not because there's a lack of options for you to eat! The more stressful element, certainly for me, is avoiding cross-contamination whilst not offending anyone else (especially when they were only trying to help by flipping your veggie burger using meaty utensils).
So here are my top tips for a happy, smooth-running and veggie-friendly barbecue:
1. Talk to your host beforehand
They might not have even considered things like separate utensils or a dedicated area of the barbecue just for veg food. Have a chat with them and see what the set-up will be so you can both prepare accordingly. They will probably be relieved you brought it up and can help!
2. Bring your own extras
If you’re not sure what the grill situation will be, or if you know there won’t be much separate space for you, come prepared with plenty of food that doesn’t need to go over the coals at all to avoid having to go hungry. Salads, flavoured hummus and summery filo pies are all ideal options.
3. Bring a disposable BBQ
I wouldn’t recommend a single-use item very often, but as a one-off this can be a great way to still enjoy the barbecue but know there’s no chance your food will be alongside meat.
4. Choose foil-wrapped dishes
Lots of vegetables cook perfectly wrapped in foil, particularly if they would be too soft to go on the open bars, and this forms an inconspicuous barrier between meat on the grill and your veggies.
5. Show off!
No really, bring along unusual dishes that other guests wouldn’t expect to see on a barbecue to show them how imaginative and versatile veggie food is. Think barbecued fruit like these Cinnamon Caramel Nectarines photographed above or pulled jackfruit for something really creative.
Once you’ve got the food sorted, you can get on with enjoying a stress-free barbecue with great company! What tips would you add to this list?

I’ve been vegetarian for almost as long as I can remember and it has a huge influence on not only the food I eat, but the way I travel, the products I buy, and the clothes I wear. Whilst I’m not strictly vegan, the majority of what I eat and cook is. I’ve also had itchy feet for as long as I can remember and am always on the lookout for an adventure, near or far. I blog over at The Tofu Diaries, a space where all of the things I love come together: plant-based food, eating out, travel, compassion for animals, a love of photography and observing the small details, as well as treating yourself whenever possible.

The Food Explorers Club (FEC) is a membership club operated by Yumbles Media Ltd and gives all members great benefits when shopping on Yumbles.com.
- Member benefits: we are continuously looking to improve benefits to FEC members and as a result, the benefits offered might change from time to time. We will always make an up-to-date list of benefits available to everyone through Yumbles.com. At the time of writing benefits include free delivery on 100s of products and exclusive discounts.
- Billing: due to the really low monthly membership price and the nature of the benefits, FEC subscription is billed and paid yearly. This enables us to plan ahead and ensure that we can offer the best range of benefits available to all members. The membership fee will be automatically charged to your card every 12 months.
- Cancellation:
a. Within the first 25 days: you can cancel your FEC membership during the first month without paying anything, assuming you have not already taken advantage of any FEC benefits like free or discounted shipping, FEC discounts etc. If you have saved as a result of your FEC membership, then the savings will have to be paid back to Yumbles by charging your card on file. No membership fees will be paid.
b. After the first 25 days: If you have already paid for the first year, you can still cancel your membership but a membership fee will be due for every full of partial month that have passed and any savings you made will have to be paid back. A cancellation fee of £5 will also have to be paid that goes towards covering the manual effort needed to process refunds. If you wish to simply not renew your membership for the next year, no cancellation fee will be due.
- Renewal: If you don't cancel your membership, your membership will automatically renew for the next year and your card will be charged. Please make sure to cancel your membership from your Yumbles account or notify us if you wish to cancel as reminders will not be sent out.
- Membership price changes and other changes: from time to time we might review the membership pricing. We will always notify you of any changes in pricing and you will always have the option of cancelling. We will also notify you about any other major changes to the plan that might be made from time to time. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any memberships at our discretion.
Subscribe and Save is a great way to receive your favourite products on a regular basis, without the hassle of re-ordering, and get a 10% discount over the regular price*.
Creating a subscription is dead-easy and you can cancel your subscription or decide to skip a month online any time of the day. Subscriptions can be cancelled as long as at least 2 weeks pass from the dispatch date of your first order - this is to give you the chance to taste the products before deciding and to ensure that the discount is only enjoyed by those that are genuinely intending on receiving a product on a regular basis.
We're sure you'll agree that this is a good way of not having to require a minimum number of orders, which would be less flexible - we understand that at times, you might decide that a product is not for you once you've tried it. If you decide that you no longer want to receive a product on a regular basis, please make sure to cancel before the next renewal day; once your card is charged the product will be on its way to you and any cancellation will come into effect from the next cycle.
* Occasionally, food makers might have to make small changes to their product prices for various reasons. You will always be charged the current price of the product, whether it's a bit lower or higher than the price on the day you first subscribed.
To ensure that your food arrives as fresh as possible, you can schedule your order to be delivered closer to the date you need it by.
At checkout you will be able to choose between having your orders delivered ASAP or for a later date. It's as simple as that!
Note: all items from a seller are dispatched together in one delivery but you can select orders from different sellers to arrive at different times should you wish to do so.
If you really need something to be with you for a set date, we strongly recommend that you schedule it to arrive at least 1-2 days early. This ensures that even if there are any delays due to issues with delivery companies or other reasons, you can still receive your order in time.
At busy periods (e.g. Christmas) we recommend allowing a few more days as things do tend to get very hectic and more unpredictable for delivery companies.
Just enter the promo code above at checkout and your discount will be applied automatically.
** Promo code can be used only once per customer **
