cooking for 7, ideas please

[TLV]

hi

cooking for family at the weekend, 5 adults and possibly 2/3 kids, can anyone give something quick/cheap ideas of what i can cook, my mum is a bit fussy so can't do usual like spag bol or chilli, tia

Roast chicken or roast chicken pieces? Do a second roasting tin full of different roast veges (peel/cut early and leave in water). Or a Shepherd's Pie - prepare the day before.

lasagne
with salad,garlic bread,jacket potatoes etc - a bit like a buffet
