East ideas for lunch for a crowd

[TR888]

Hi, it's 15-18 of us at the table during our holidays. I need Oseas for the days it's my turn to cook lunch. There are some pretty unadventurous eaters here, so I need easy, low-risk ideas: no hot spices or non-European dishes unfortunately 🙄. We're safe with Italian, French, Spanish, etc.

Thanks!

Will you be having your main meal in the evening? If so, I assume it doesn't need to be massive?

I'd make a big pasta salad, & serve with a mixed salad and crusty bread.

My favourite holiday lunch is platters of local meats and cheeses with bread and crackers.

Frittata & salad

Baked potatoes with bowls of fillings (eg tuna mayo/ baked beans/ grated cheese

Chicken Marbella with salad and rice.

Easy to do for a crowd.

And the fussy eaters can pick anything out of the sauce they don’t like.

Roast a couple of chicken and make Caesar salad.
Ploughman's
Greek salad
Quiche/fritata

Sorry for the typos! And thanks for the ideas 😁
