For about 30 people. Also to point out that I am a lifelong vegetarian so there will be no meat or fish (very usual for my get togethers so nobody will be surprised by this). I'd like to keep as finger food.

Spanakopita
Tomatoe tart tartin
Turkish bread
Olives
Houmous
Chickpea, chard & feta puffs with green harissa (posh veggie sausage rolls basically)
Stuffed vine leaves
Spinach and artichoke dip
Labneh and pistachio
potato salad
Green tabbouleh
Tarrallini
Cheeseboard, grapes & crackers
Brownies

Do i need more main / salad... anything else. As far as I know there are no GF people as know it's quite a wheaty / grainy menu

Bess Inusedvto hate beetroot too until I tried it roasted. Much sweeter and softer. Great in soup ( borscht type affair) or a smoothy.

That sounds lovely. The only thing is I would add two more options for pudding (when hosting larger numbers, I normally do something chocolatey, something fruity, then another option). Perhaps a cheesecake (lemon would work well) and then mince pies (for a festive nod). Mincemeat shortbread slices are a great alternative to mince pies which can be batch cooked - or you could do a mincemeat bakewell tart.

Interested in this thread?

Thank you - I will add another salad. Like the idea of mince pies but fear it's already quite pastry heavy.

Every single item sounds delicious. Should I bring red or white?
