Going to have a few people over at the weekend for a bit of a buffet (would never have believed that I'd be bored with barbeques, but here we are). What summer garden/picnicky bits go down well. Dh has already requested egg and bacon pie, and coleslaw, but other than that I've no specific ideas.

Egg and bacon pie and coleslaw sound great!

I like:

picnic eggs (the mini scotch eggs)

Coronation chicken (could be in sandwiches)

traditional sandwiches e.g. egg and cress, tuna mayo, Cheddar and pickle (but can be tricky to keep bread from not going hard)

beetroot hummus - a recent discovery. Seems lighter than traditional hummus and it looks so pretty on a buffet table too?

olives

Watermen and feta cheese salad is lovely.. google recipe.

Retro cheese & pineapple on sticks!

Mixed bean salad.

Sticky BBQ sausages - either chipolatas or mini sausages cooked and coated in a sticky BBQ sauce, served cold.

Fruit salad or fruit kebabs, very refreshing in the hot weather.

Oh another good one is mini tricolour salad sticks - with mini mozzarella balls, cherry tomatoes and basil on sticks.

And a big ol' jug of sangria.

Potato salad and lots of pimms. 😍😍

these ideas are great, thank you.
lots of Pimm's goes without saying. Well, Aldi faux-Pimms anyway.
