To think that this portion for an adult is too little?

Family bbq, we usually host but my sister has moved and wanted to host at her house instead.
Myself and DH love hosting and make sure that there are plenty of snacks, food and drink for everyone.
DS said that we had to bring our own drink which is absolutely fine with me as I know that can be very costly to cater for everyone, I offered to bring a dish but she said that they had food sorted out.
Just to clarify my DS has no money worries as her and her DH both have well paying jobs so I was surprised to be served 2 hotdogs and that was it. 2 sausages and 2 buns each, nothing more. No dessert, snacks or anything other than that.
Would you think this is an acceptable bbq and portion per person?

Yeah if you're doing a BBQ you've got to be prepared that people will want more food that that

Nah. That's a bit shit

That's rubbish, I'm not keen on hotdogs so I'd be annoyed!

I'd rather one burger, one hot dog
And some potato salad and another salad. Two hotdogs would fill me up but would be boring.
