Catering for about 30 people (mix of adults and kids)

[moveblues]

Hi all
Any tips on very quick and relatively cheap party food for the above? Don't want to hire catering but time limited! Thinking about 15 Dr Oetker pizzas (£1.25 at sainsburies!), celery, carrots but any other tips/supermarket offers appreciated!

Iceland frozen food shop is great for basic party stuff. Cheap too!!

Aldi is cheaper!!

Costco do some great sandwich platters if you’re able to check that out or yea aldi or Lidl have some great options too x

Large tubs of ready made sandwich filler, real butter, pre packed leaves and those bread rolls you bake at home. A make your own sandwich station! You could add a plate of cold meats and a plate of sliced cheeses.

Good advice from @Countrylifemama and @NorthernDramaLlama.

How will you cook 15 pizzas and keep them all warm? If you're set on pizza, go to Asda and get the giant deli ones. Personally I'd stick with cold food or do something like chilli or curry that can be served from a big pot. Mexican goes down well (big vat of chilli plus tacos/wraps, cheese, salad, dips) but the extra bits do add up. Pulled pork and bread rolls is also economic to do for a big group, and easy on the day, but needs more work beforehand.
