Lunch ideas needed

[Ciderat8]

I'm going to be cooking a pre Christmas lunch for 7 adults and a 5 year old. I'm aiming for a laid back, help yourself kind of meal. Pie and spicy sausage stew have been successful in previous years but I'm stuck this year. Any suggestions?

I did a lovely risotto in my slow cooker last week - would they eat something like that?

Not v 'Christmassy' but fajita's? very help yourself :) and always delish!
