I'm awful at this stuff

Mushroom and chestnut loaf x2
Lentil bake.
Ham platter
Chicken platter
Large pasta or rice salad
Coleslaw
Large garden salad
Bread/buns

Pizza for kids

Cheesecake
Small chocolate mousses
Birthday cake(s)

There's not enough is there? What's missing

Cheese?

Pickles

Pastry

I love samosas and mini spring rolls at buffets.but im so greedy at buffet situations

Cracker biscuits
Grapes

Potato salad, Jacket potatoes, Veggies and dips, puff pasty with pesto, peppers, tomatoes, mozzarella.

Some crisps/nibbly bits, prawns, breadsticks/dips

I am crap at these things but just pizza for the kids won’t the adults tuck in too.

Olives? Homous? Crisps?

Pineapple and cheese on sticks!

The kids will have other bits too but that'll just top them up. The pizza will be guarded ;)
Prawns. Spring rolls. Cheese always gets ignored. Thank you

Olives and crisps. Excellent.

An average of six items per person. E.g. one each of sausage roll. sandwich. meat portion. Veg portion. Salad. Lentil bake.
Take care with rice salad - rice is great for food poisoning especially if you're not used to big parties.

Another vegetarian option

Mum is doing the rice salad :)

Really? There's the mushroom thing and Lentil bake

sausage rolls...NOT A BUFFET unless there are sausage rolls.

little teeny tiny ones, warm from the oven, so make three times as many as you think you will need, set them on trays and cook as you go!

Sorry should say this is a family do and there are some vegis, including me but I do know they all like this stuff and in fact all the others eat fish too so if I do Prawns the woll have that

OK sausage rolls. Kids will like those

Potato salad always gets demolished when I do I buffet.
I can’t believe cheese would ever get ignored - who are these people?!

Well the cheese tends to come out as a separate course by which time people are stuffed. Is that where I'm going wrong

You can do cheese and onion rolls if you want veggie. I second or third spring rolls or Samosa

More carbs? Rice and pasta and potatoes?

It'll be a rice or pasta salad. I've asked my mum to do whichever she prefers

Oh definitely gave the cheese out, unwrapped and ready to go. The Stilton always goes first at our family buffets!

Could add in a veggie quiche? The meat eaters can eat that too,

I always buy LOTS of high quality chipolata sausages. They always go first. You could add in some veggie sausages too?
