HELP 9 am party VERY VERY quick food ideas please

[rockyroadahead]

ds is 3 this month and I have rented a really small hall for his birthday . bout 50people 20 adults 30 kids ,

Its at 9 am ... i swore after ds christening i would never do a morning party again but we left it too late to book (as we have 4 week old ) and the hall was a real bargain .....

but am now in panic mode i will be palming off as much as possible on the grandma's but between the two of them they would struggle with cheese on toast !

i am hitting Iceland for most but not a lot of it seems very child friendly ??

ideas much needed please

Does the venue have any cooking facilities?

mini cupcakes
cocktail sausages
cherry toms

things that don't need cooking essentially

i'll have a longer think

late breakfast/brunch?
I would get a job lot of those long life brioche/croissants things and some fruit kebabs. Coffee and tea for the grownups and cartons of juice for the children.

molly check check check to all of those ....

I went to Iceland online and did a massive basket then realised none of it was very child friendly ...

only a microwave and fridge at the venue /.....

Bacon butties

Hot dogs! Microwave them, stick in buns and serve with a few bowls of crisps, carrot/ cucumber sticks and some fairy cakes

Make it a birthday breakfast. With croissants and danish pastry, orange juice, cheese, butter, coffee, yoghurts.
I would be very very happy to receive an invite to a bithday breakfast :)

A breakfast buffet would be delicious.

Tesco do mini croissants so you could have them with jam/ham/cheese.

Or if you could cook some bacon at home and just warm it in the microwave.

How about fruit kebabs as the healthy option?

breakfast buffet theme is great e.g. mini bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon; egg mayonnaise in those little croutade cups; little sausages - perhaps more so for the adults. You can cook bacon in the microwave and make butties... but you have a lot of people so perhaps not that practical. Or you could make hot dogs heated in the microwave- yes, crap sausages but party time so what the heck. Given that you have a lot of young children, what about mini cereal selection boxes, just need bowls and milk; mini chocolate/blueberry muffins; selection of fruit (slices of melon; oranges; apples; grapes). Or bricoche (chocolate and/or plain). Cartons of smoothies/chocolate milk/fruit juice. I never gave my little ones chocolatey breakfast stuff - so for a party would be a real treat.

that's great thank you all brilliant ideas .... I have scrapped the Iceland shopping basket and have a new revised breakfast list ....

really good idea .. any more breakfast ideas would be great ..

if I do a watermelon dinosaur the night before do you think it will be completely mank by the morning ?? as there is no way it is gonna happen in the morning but ds loves watermelons and we are going for a dino theme !

Cornflake/rice krispie cakes?

where do I get mini bagels ??

Kids love pizza! Maybe you could have pizzas with chicken, parmesan, mozzarella, sliced mushrooms, chopped spring onion on them.

Sainsburys used to do mini bagels , not sure if they still do
