BBQ Burnt End Style Quorn Vegetarian Roast

This BBQ Burnt End Style Quorn Vegetarian Roast recipe is a proper showstopper for summer vegetarian BBQ spreads. This recipe smokes the Quorn Vegetarian Roast for 3 hours before smothering in a sticky BBQ sauce. The result has all the depth and satisfaction of traditional BBQ burnt ends - without any of the meat. Serve with loaded potato skins and homemade coleslaw, or simply load it into a crusty roll for the ultimate summer vegetarian BBQ feast.

Quorn Chicken and Halloumi Vegetarian BBQ Skewers

These Quorn Chicken and Halloumi Vegetarian BBQ Skewers are one of the easiest summer BBQ ideas to pull off, and this combination is hard to beat. Quorn Vegetarian Chicken Fillets are threaded onto skewers alongside chunks of halloumi and sweet peppers, then grilled until golden and slightly charred at the edges. The halloumi holds its shape beautifully over direct heat, while the fillets perfectly soak up the marinade.

Quorn Vegetarian BBQ Pulled Quorn Fillets Burger

If you're after a vegetarian BBQ burger that actually delivers on flavour and texture, this Quorn Vegetarian BBQ Pulled Quorn Fillets Burger recipe is it. Quorn Fillets are shredded then mixed with a smoky BBQ sauce and piled high into a toasted brioche bun with crunchy slaw. It has all the mess and satisfaction of a pulled pork burger, and it's a brilliant option for feeding a crowd.

Vegetarian BBQ Skewers with a Green Goddess Salad

This Vegetarian BBQ Skewers with a Green Goddess Salad recipe is a lighter option that still holds its own on the grill. The skewers are cooked until lightly charred, then served alongside a bright green goddess salad packed with avocado, cucumber, herbs, and a tangy dressing. This is the kind of dish that looks impressive on the table and genuinely doesn't take long to pull together. A strong choice if you want something fresh and colourful to balance out the richer BBQ plates.

Vegetarian BBQ Quarter Pounder Burger with Cheese

Sometimes a classic is a classic for a reason. The Quorn Quarter Pounder Burger is thick, satisfying, and holds together brilliantly on the grill. Load it into a toasted bun with melted cheese, thinly sliced gherkins, crispy lettuce, and a proper burger sauce, and you've got one of the most straightforward and crowd-pleasing summer BBQ ideas going. This Vegetarian BBQ Quarter Pounder Burger with Cheese recipe is ideal for feeding groups quickly and works brilliantly as a main alongside chips, coleslaw, and a simple green salad.

Quorn Hot Honey BBQ Buffalo Wings with Homemade Ranch Dip

For something with a bit more heat, these Quorn Hot Honey BBQ Buffalo Wings with Homemade Ranch Dip are a genuine standout. Quorn pieces are coated in a hot honey buffalo sauce that caramelises beautifully over the grill, giving you that sticky, spiced coating with a gentle sweetness underneath. Pair them with a cool, creamy homemade ranch dip and plenty of napkins. These work well as a starter or as part of a larger spread, and they tend to disappear faster than anything else on the table.

How to Host the Perfect Summer BBQ?

The secret to hosting the perfect summer BBQ? It’s all in the prep! Here are our top tips for a delicious vegan and vegetarian BBQ:

• Marinate early. The more time meat-free ingredients spend in a marinade, the more depth of flavour they absorb. Aim for at least 30 minutes, and overnight is even better.
• Get the grill properly hot. A hot grill creates better colour and texture on vegetables and Quorn products alike.
• Prepare sides in advance. Salads, dips, and sauces can all be made ahead so you can focus on cooking when guests arrive.
• Label everything clearly. If you're cooking for a mixed group, use separate sections of the grill and mark dishes so vegetarian guests can eat with confidence.

Make This Summer One to Remember

Vegan and vegetarian BBQ food is not a compromise - it's a genuine highlight of any summer spread. With Quorn products as your foundation and a handful of fresh, seasonal ingredients, you can put together a menu that everyone will want to come back for.
