Critique my lunch menu please

[FarrowAndBaller]

Looking for critique on my lunch menu - both for range/appeal and also quantities.

It’s an informal garden lunch for 16 ish adults and 10 ish children (aged baby - 7 ish). Fork buffet style, invited from 1pm - so I’m expecting most of the kids will have had lunch beforehand. A couple of vegetarians and gluten free guests but no other dietary needs. The menu currently looks like:

Snacks (1-2pm):

• Olives (600g, with more available)
• Manchego cheese, sliced (400g)
• Focaccia (x2, each made with 500g flour)
• Crisps (600g - 4 sharing bags, with more available)

Lunch (2-3:30pm)

• Sliced piri piri chicken breast with roast peppers on spinach. (2kg chicken, est.16 breasts), 1kg roasted red peppers, 200g spinach)
• Chickpea, feta & mint salad (3 200g packs feta, 3x 570g jars of chickpeas)
• Potato tortilla (5x500g ready made packs)
• Caponata (5 aubergines, 3 courgettes, 2 red onions, 6 sticks celery, 300g olives in a tomato sauce)
• Herby chicken breast skewers for kids (using mini fillets from 2kg chicken above)
• Caprese skewers for kids (300g mini mozzarella balls, with some cherry tomatoes and basil)

Pudding (4pm):

• Lemon possets served in lemon halves (1.2kg cream)
• Giant strawberries (2.4kg)

Any suggestions for things to consider changing?

Mini sausages are often a hit. You can get both meat and veggie ones. Hummus and breadsticks/crudites are easy and usually popular.

Personally I’d add a few more dessert options. Cake, ice creams, biscuits. And more fruit.

To max it out a bit, i would add the following:

Platter of cherry tomatoes, cucumbers & carrots
Deli meat platter to go with the starters
1 large potato salad
1 pasta salad or couscous
1 poached salmon side
Cake
Ice lollies

Sounds perfect to me. Thats not too much meat.

Maybe add another salad

2 kilos is 4.4 lbs = 70 ozs
26 mouths = 2.7 ozs per person

Google suggests an average portion of chicken breast is 3 to 4 ozs

Def not too much meat.

now I agree the children will eat less but some adults will want more

In her update the Op agreed she would be getting more chicken.
