Your update sounds great - plenty of food there!

I would say no. People won't feel they can eat what they want so that everyone gets enough. I would usually over cater though as you can always use leftovers.

Jacket potatoes with pizza Confused this thread is getting bizarre.

With your update it’s plenty op. I would expect a birthday tea to be pretty carb heavy and appetites will vary, so some people will eat less allowing bigger appetites to eat more. It’s fine.

Interested in this thread?

My oven is similar. Love it

Really? I don't know anyone who eats a whole supermarket pizza plus sides and salad.

I have, can, and do... but only in private with my husband. Blush

This is what's left. I didn't cook the seventh pizza and the coleslaw wasn't opened. Everything else was eaten so I wasn't that far out after all.

That looks pretty perfectly catered then. Good job!

Sorry, Pascha, which menu did you go for in the end? 11:33am or 11:52am?

IHaveBrilloHair · 11/09/2018 19:15

Excellent, and that's your breakfast sorted tooGrin

Passthecake30 · 11/09/2018 19:16

Yum I could go for a slice of pizza right about now!

How is one tub of coleslaw/ potato salad going to feed 11 people? If people feel there isn't enough to go round, they won't take any, then you"ll end up with leftovers.

Pascha · 11/09/2018 19:34

@ragged 11:52 minus the extra pizza and the bread rolls. What was left cooked and uneaten was 13 slices amounting to 1&½ pizzas so actually, 5 pizzas would have been enough.

Success all round.

And lunch for tomorrow!

Easily, if they don't open it!

Grin the potato salad was eaten, the coleslaw wasn't.
