PLANT-BASED BBQ

People choosing a plant-based diet no longer have to miss out on anything and that includes a sizzling summer BBQ!

There is an amazing array of delicious vegan burgers, sausages, hot dogs, steaks and more that can take centre stage at any BBQ, as well as the vegan versions of all the traditional side dishes which are now widely available! We also hope to inspire people to choose a #PlantBasedBBQ by highlighting the environmental and animal welfare impacts of intensive pig and cattle farming.
