Please tell me what I need to make for these people

Hello,
Im just not very good at this stuff - cooking, hosting, knowing what to do. My parents never did it growing up so I have little confidence and don’t know what’s normal.

I have a friend visiting tomorrow with his wife. I don’t know them that well but he seems nice enough. They are coming at 2pm and will probably stay for an hour or so.

Do I need to offer them food? What do I give them to eat? No one has mentioned anything, I’m sure they will have eaten lunch beforehand as they won’t want to put me out but I’m just not sure what to offer them.

Hmm, I'd normally love a crisp bowl, but I might be a bit warier of other peoples' fingers at the moment.

I'd offer tea, coffee or cold soft drinks (cordials, juices, Coke/diet coke etc if you have them in) and some good biscuits or cake (e.g M&S) It's closest to tea time.

If they are not driving, maybe a glass of wine or G&T with some nuts and olives. I'd expect them to have eaten lunch by 2pm.

Interesting the people who'd expect to be offered alcohol on a weekend afternoon brief visit.
Would never occur to me to expect, want or offer. Not at 2pm. With the possible exception of Christmas or some kind of celebration - doesn't sound like this is any kind of celebration.

It’s a cuppa and a biscuit. Don’t overthink it. Maybe get some fresh juice or sparkling water & cordial if you need an acceptable soft drink offer.
