Family lunch ideas

[boredsolicitor]

I know this has probably be done to death but I have a big family gathering on 29th - around 15-20 people tbc
last year for the same group i I did salmon and gammon with Salads etc, The year before I did beef bourginon and the year before that a meat snd veg lasagne.
im running out of ideas and inspiration. Ideally I’d like to make something in advance that I can freeze .
help me please!

Tagine type thing with rice/cous cous, salad, flat breads x

Mexican theme? Chilli, fajitas, loaded nachos, tacos, guacamole etc? Plus some side salads.

Cottage pie?

Another vote for tagine.

We went out for Greek food between Christmas and new Year last year, it made a really nice change from the traditional festive food. Roast a leg of lamb, slice it up and freeze, buy or make flatbread/pitta and freeze for now, and then get sides etc. to do a Greek mezze?

Greek and mezze - hadn’t thought of that . Sounds good . Or maybe I could go a cottage pie and a fish pie or perhaps a bit too everyday / mundane ?

Greek mezze would be wonderful, so many options and you can make it so bright and fresh.

Although it’s winter I think having something not heavy is a good option as people may be quite over heavy food by then.

Pulled pork in buns with corn on the cob and potato wedges.

Macaroni cheese with pigs in blankets on the top.

Greek gyros, flatbreads, salads, and potato wedges.

Thank you!! I knew you’d inspire me with your great ideas!

I literally cook 5/6 joints of meat and let them pick. Lots of pickled onions, French stick, cheese, coleslaw etc,
