Hi. I'm planning a bbq for May and want to impress with great food but not break the bank. Some ideas I have are the obvious burgers, sausages, salad, bbq chicken drumsticks, and spicy chilli chicken wings. Also planning to serve wedges, bbq vegetebles, nachos with homemade dips such as salsa and guacamole. Dessert may be a lime curd pie served with fruit on the bbq. What does everyone think? What would you like to see at a bbq party? If anyone is in the Belfast area I'd appreciate advice on where to get good quality food at good prices.

If you want lots of idea's I have a book by Ainsley Harriott called Barbecue bible its got some great dishes in it I use it all the time lots of dips and marinade's Any spices and herbs needed I would always shop at the local Asian shops it cost less.How about a big dish of fresh fruit salad Delia has a recipe which is really nice. Tabbouleh goes down well and Hummus,Aubergine dips,potatoes wedges tossed in olive oil garlic and rosemary and baked bananas.pizzas.garlic bread, olives

Wow that sounds like quite the menu jelly7!
You seem to be missing the classic corn on the cob, baked potatoes/sweet potatoes, and marshmallows - unless they're meant to be left out...
If you're looking to impress, how about beer can chicken? - whole chicken sitting on a can of beer - it turns out moist, flavourful meat
