Kids Party 10am - What Food?

[MiddleClassProblem]

We are having DD’s party at 10am. She’s turning 8, on 10 kids invited. What food would you serve?

They will probably eat around 11.

Pancakes and waffles

Hmm, depend so the activity? Is it at your house?

Could do croissants, milk, juice, etc. Mini muffins. Like a continental breakfast

is it in your house? Waffles and pancakes.

Pizza, think of it as early lunch.

Pancakes and waffles with a pick your own toppings bar.

I wouldn't over complicate it. Kids will eat beige and sugar at any time of day.

Lol this is true. I was caught between brunch and just regular party food maybe without the sandwiches.

It’s in a community hall so if pancakes and waffles we would be doing them cold.

I'd do sandwiches, cold things like cocktail sausages, crisps, cupcakes. Just (an early) lunch.

Just a normal party lunch, they’ll eat it.

I used to have garlic bread and sausage rolls instead of sandwiches.

Are you bring food or getting it delivered?

Just normal party food. They won't worry about being an hour early.

Warm Pain au chocolate , chocolate crepes , waffles , fruit salad , cocktail sausages, egg muffins , cheese scones fruit juice and milkshakes

Open to either. I think it’s a bit early to have pizza though which was a consideration when it was possibly going to be later.

There is a local bakery though so maybe I could speak to them for pastries and small treats.

I think a brunch is super cute but I’m just not sure the kids will get it lol.

It's only an hour early 11.00 vs 12.00. And kids won't care.

Other options would be breakfast rolls but that's harder to do unless you have a proper catering griddle / kitchen.

Don't make life more complicated than it needs too be.

Yes, thank you @Dinoteeth. I will definitely keep this mantra close!

I would serve lunch as if it were 12pm or 1pm
