Could anyone help me with catering quantities?

I am hosting a late afternoon buffet for my Dads 80th. There will be 85 people. I am buying sandwich platters already made then the rest will be along the lines of this;

Sausage rolls
Cocktail sausages
Cheeses
Quiche
Rice Salad (large tub pre bought )
Pasta salad - as above
Potato Salad
Coleslaws
Green salad
Charcuterie meats
Crisps - large sharing bags such as Doritos etc.

Plus large Costco cakes for slicing.

The sandwich platters (possibly Sainsburys) are in quarters - 20 pieces per platter.

Does anyone have any experience of judging quantities? I also need to buy wine beer and soft drinks. Most guests are over 50 and I imagine the party will go on for around 6 hours max.
Help please 🙏🏻
