Party food to order

[cruffin]

Just been on waitrose and there is nothing available! I'm celebrating my baby's first birthday and didn't want any hassle of cooking. Sainsburys hardly have anything either, M&S and Tesco don't seem to do it unless it's Christmas food. Anywhere else?

What do you mean by party food though? Things like cakes and sandwich fillings? Surely they've got those?

Oh god, I did this recently for my boys 1st birthday.
I ordered cut up wraps and fruit kebabs from waitrose catering, wraps were nice, fruit was terrible and tasted a bit off. Next day 8 of us had vomiting and diarrhoea, 2 of the babies had it so probably wasn't the food as they didn't eat it but it still really put me off.
Pret do pre ordered little sandwiches and so do Paul. Or try a local cafe/deli to do a pre order platter of bits.
The best 1yo party I've been to this year had a big cheese platter and charcuterie, that wouldn't be too hard to put together with a bunch of grapes.
Good luck!

Costco

Sainsburys have this on their food to order page:

food-to-order.sainsburys.co.uk/category/platters-wraps

Although as a word of warning we ordered this for our wedding buffet earlier in the year and none of the sandwiches/wraps arrived in the store and they told us that this often happens! Anyhow, they rectified it by allowing us to choose which ever pre-packaged sandwiches and wraps we wanted, so was ok in the end

If you have a local costco i recommend their sandwich platter and chicken goujons, pizza bites etc you put in oven etc.

Oh and bakery brownie bites, cupcakes etc

Morrisons do this sort of thing, it's all made in individual stores so very fresh and much cheaper than Waitrose.

Morrison’s is really good for this type of thing

I had this problem recently, but Morrisons still did it while none of the others did.

We ordered from Morrisons for a hen do.
Wraps and sandwiches were lovely. And reasonably priced.
Costco is good too.

Ocado now deliver M&S entertaining instead of ordering it via M&S for pick up.

I am not sure what exactly they are offering now though.

Another for Morrison's!
They were lovely

Ok I'll check out Morrison's!

I mean the platters that you just pick up.
