I am cooking for six people, one of whom is a vegetarian. I would like to serve three courses using seasonal ingredients where possible. I've got a few ideas, but suggestions would be most welcome...

How about a buffet style evening!
Lay out different dishes and let them serve themselves. Conversation might flow easier too then!

Does your vegetarian eat fish? - if so, I bought some great ones from my local fishmongers at the weekend. Sweet and sour prawns with rice, and prawn crackers!
I have done kebabs before, in a honey and mustard sauce, and made up a variety of meat / non meat ones.
Stir frys are a good option - although means you have to spend some of the time in the kitchen, getting it cooked.

i generally cook a variety of smaller courses -- more like tapas -- then people can eat what they want and everyone can get drunk on cheap wine too. it keeps you from putting something someone doesn't eat on a plate in front of them and avoids other tricky situations. there are lots of recipes at foodtv.com -- like every show ever on food network -- have fun!

You could start with a cream of moshroom soup.
for the main A Veg flan with baby new pot's and baby veg,
and as a pud, a fig tart, with Ice cream.

make platters. like vegetable platter, meat with cheese platter, different cheeses and crackers, and fruit platter with pineapples and cantelopes it is easier faster and good.
