It's my grans 90th at the weekend and we're putting on a buffet lunch for my family. It'll be 13adults and 3 toddlers. My family aren't into fancy food so it's a pretty plain one

My food orders coming tomorrow so I don't have long to add changes so far I've got.

Roast beef joint for cold cuts
Salad leaves
Cucumber
Pepper
Carrots
Pickles
Cheese
Assortment of crisps
Cocktail sausages
Sausage rolls
Cheese twists

Cheesecake
Clotted cream

My auntie is bringing
Egg and bacon pie
Quiche
Cake

And I'll pick up fresh rolls on the day

Any suggestions welcome

Thank you!

Sounds delicious. Potato salad? Drinks for the little ones and something non alcoholic for the drivers. Some fizz. Napkins.

meepmoop · 02/04/2019 21:19

Oo potato salad is a good shout. I've got plenty of drinks in already so that's sorted. Do need napkins though!
