Mass Christmas dinner

[picklemepopcorn]

Hi,
I'm likely to end up responsible for a local community meal (old folks etc). 50 people.

I'll have a double oven, lots of slow cookers and some pressure cookers. Also a warming cupboard.

I was thinking pâté/mushroom with Melba toast. I can make those up and stack them in a cool room.

Pudding- platters of mince pies, Christmas cake fingers, posh seasonal biscuits or little cakes.

Main course- gammon done in the pressure cooker. Turkey crown in the slow cooker overnight.

That means on the day I

Offer a cheeseboard instead of one of the dessert options.

Nothing fraudulent there @picklemepopcorn - it’s no easy task whenever you do it. I am sure everyone who comes will love it.

Premake the gravy and store in vacuum flasks, which you can serve it from. Saves the last minute faff with saucepans.
