Do I need to add anything to this buffet?

[Puddingsmummy]

Small family lunchtime gathering. I have;

Cheese selection
Crackers
Cured meat platter
Crudities (carrots, tomatoes, cucumber & celery)
Dips
Garlic bread
Tomatoes & mozzarella balls
Crisps & tortilla chips
Breadsticks
Chutney

Cake

Houmous, coleslaw, leafy salad and possibly some other carb, be it bread or a quiche. Depends on your family and what they like to eat though. If there are children I would stick a pizza with it.

Something warm, e.g. samosas, spring rolls etc?

Quiche

You can't just say cake

What sort of cake?

Fruit - strawberries, grapes

Olives, coleslaw

Chicken strippers/bites, grapes, quiche or samosas

Something carb based lime pasta salad?

like not lime

Couple of pizzas?
Potato salad?
Ham?

I think something veggie- not all vegetarians like cheese, so something like a veggie quiche.

Oh I'd definitely do a salad at least with that.

You haven't mentioned which drinks you are serving ...

It's all quite nibbly. Is there something for men people to get their teeth into?

I would be tempted to add a beef joint or chicken (something that's not cured and can double as a centre piece).

I'd add salad leaves, fruit like grapes/melon/pineapple/fresh berries, crusty bread with a bowl of salted butter, olive selection, and some sort of quiche or a vegetarian pie. Assuming you know no-one is veggie or vegan I'd say your current selection would be okay though, but if you don't know for definite then I would try and make sure there were vegan options available. :)

Warm bread rolls , quiche, salad

Something salady? Tabbouleh is dead easy. Bulghar wheat choooes red spring onion diced cucumber and chopped mint. Seasoned with salt and pepper?

Chopped even!

I definitely think more carbs, something like tiger bread and butter/cream cheese, salad, pasta, quiche.

Green/leafy salad is missing for me

Where's the cheese and pineapple on sticks?! No buffer is complete without them!

Potato wedges
Baby plum tomatoes
Something eggy - either a quiche or a Spanish tortilla.

Instead of garlic bread, I’d but a load of different rolls and maybe a french stick (from Lidl) so people can make sandwiches. It sounds lovely but not like an actual meal.

Also salad.

It depends on your guests - do you have any vegetarians / vegans / coeliacs coming?

Do you definitely need breadsticks, crackers AND garlic bread?
