Hot food for 6th birthday party

Party is 3-5pm about 25 kids in a hall.
Thinking hot dogs in buns and French fries be plated up at food time and then put some carrots, cucumber, little toms and dips and some cheese and tomato pizzas on the table.
Is that too much, should I just do the hot dogs and no fries and crisps on the table?mOr maybe forget about the pizzas?
Will be followed by cakes, marshmallows and fruit.
Thanks

Would go for hot dogs OR pizza. If you go pizza, you could have a pizza decorating activity.

IME, although Pizza is very popular with most kids and loved by those who like it, there are quite a few who have a great aversion to either tomato or cheese, so I would do hot dogs.

Alternatively, you could offer a choice on the invitations (if you CBA) that way you might get people actually sending RSVPs!

Thanks, most RSVPs now received (after a lot of chasing!). Think I will stick with hot dogs, veggie bits which will no doubt get left and then either fries or crisps. Think fries would be better as more of s proper meal.

Check on ovens in hall for cooking multiple trays of chips.

I'd do crisps, aminly because I'm lazy but also because I know from experience that cooking large amounts of oven chips do not end well. Lots of chips in one oven end up soggy and insipid.

At 3-5pm it doesn't need to be a proper meal. Tortilla chips are another idea between chips and crisps - they do have the bread in the hotdog as well.
Does the birthday child have a preference between hot dogs and pizza? I prefer pizza just because the veggies we know are picky about which veggie sausages they like, and feeding everyone the same is just easier, but this is v specific to us!
