Party food, I have 3 options, which is best? ....

[Disenchanted3]

having about 6 toddler, probably 20+ adults (few babies)

Its this saturday, my options are :

1 - Party buffet for toddlers,sep adult buffet too ... salads, sanwiches, chicken, the usual crap

2- Party buffet for kids & BBQ for adults , but taking a chance weatherwise.

3 - Party buffet for kids and home made curry, rice, naans etc ....

What do you think?

I'd go for the easiest option which I think would be number 1.

We've had a few parties like this when the children were younger and the adults had similar to the party food plus extra things.

thats 1 vote

Option 3. And where possible, cross over.

i like 3 too, will be cheapest.

3

Option 3, and allow for the toddlers wanting naan and popadums.

Just do one buffet for all.

Option three with a mild curry and plain rice for any toddlers who want it (and they would probably want the popadoms too).

I love option 3 i could live on Curry !

I think I'm going to do curry as its easy, quicker & less messing in supermarket, ie just get stuff for curry rather than 20 diff things for all different buffet parts.

Butties, fruit, cakes etc for kids.

I work for a catering company and we did a do on Saturday for a family.

We did

Sliced roast beef
Sliced roast turkey
Coronation chicken
Melon and tiger prawn salad
Provencale salad
Green salad
Dijon mustard potato salad
Crusty bread
chicken goujons/sausages/cucumber sticks for the children

There was plenty. children hardly ate a thing as they were over excited. DO NOT go to too much trouble for the children as it will be a waste of money! Lots of drinks and some cakes will be fine.

1 or 3, either would be nice
