30 replies

My family have decided to join us unexpectedly for Christmas Eve. I’m trying to botch a picky bits buffet from what I have in. There will be 5 adults and two children. Is this enough;

2 big pizza
2 garlick bread
medium sized cheese board with crackers
large tiger loaf
1 x pack cold meats
1 x pack smoked salmon
2 small packs of halloumi bites
A large mixed salad

Olives

How much needs adding? And what?

Dips - I'd add some dips and possibly another carb to mop them up with (nice pittas / tortillas crisps)

Last minute guests would be a takeaway for us (all we have in is our Christmas day meal for Boxing day and I'm not sharing g that!)

Just get more pizza, garlic bread, grapes

Leave the salad and forget everything else
