Ideas for girls night in food

Help.
I've got a couple friends coming over later. Was meant to be a bit of a BBQ but it's peeing down here so it's moved inside.
6 ladies (loosely described)
More of a drunks thing but I need to feed them too.
So far I've thought of crusty bread, dips and crisps.
Cooked meats like chicken skewers /lamb chops and new potatoes. Ideally things I can prepare before they get here.
What else can I do?

Party food you can put in the oven all together like mozzarella sticks, breaded prawns, sausage rolls etc.

Cheese board and crackers.

Couple of packs of chicken wings, can be eaten hot or cold.

Ooh just thought... Pasta salad is a good one or cous cous.

I always do a big roasting tin of Nachos - tortilla chips, refried beans, grated cheese - all in layers. Topped with Guac, Soured Cream and Salsa. - Maybe because of Covid I would do individual portions.

Interested in this thread?

Green salad and coleslaw to balance all the meat and stodge.

If there's only 6 of you, you don't need loads of different things.

I went to the same kind of thing last night! Chicken, nice bread, various salads.

Grin at “more of a drunks thing”

Nachos

You will need cake and/or ice cream.
Maybe some strawberries too, to make it more healthy! 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓

Right
I've got a crusty tiger stick
New potatoes
Dips and Doritos
Lamb steaks
kebabs
Spare ribs
Pasta salad
Olives
Hummus
Little pasties
Meant to get sangria but I've forgotten it. (Back out I go)
Spanish meats
Cheeses
Might have gone overboard 😳

Oh well - just don't put it all out on plates to go dry and yucky - put it out a bit at a time and whatever is left over will do a nice picky tea in front of the TV for Sat Night.

Have fun.

Sangria sorted. Just borrowed a proper retro serving bowl with glasses from next door.

The food won't go to waste there's a teenager and a bottomless 9 year old here. A couple of her friends will be here later too.

Couldn't be arsed with sweet stuff/dessert so bought some peanut M&Ms Grin

Sounds lush, I might join in your drunken tea at my place on Saturday night, sounds so tasty!

Don't mess about with picky food, order in a curry
