Buffet for 8 adults-

750g ham
12 bread rolls
24 Chinese pastry's
2 large pizza cut in to 12 pieces each
12 garlic dough balls
Bowl of salad with cous cous
5 bowls of nibbles
Bread sticks and humous
Packet of cured meats
Cheese
Olives
Condiments/pickles

Was this enough? I thought it was loads but it went so quickly. I had extra snacks to replenish the bowls but I felt bad there wasn't more food. Everyone said it was great but usually a buffet doesn't empty instantly. We ate at 4pm .
Aibu to think I supplied enough food?

It was me you were quoting. I’m agreeing with you that me using the term ‘plenty’ was pushing it haha

Ah apologies. I should have checked the usernames. Grin

You're right, it's definitely not plenty.

So I came here for a bit of reassurance that I didn't under feed people and actually they are just greedy.

And I learnt that I've under catered at all events I've held.

Awesome thank you guys 😂

Did you honestly think it would be enough food for 10+ hours? Confused

No not enough and also not enough variety, a buffet in nye should be special and a ham roll does not sound so! I would say go big next time and go fancy xx
