10 adults , 4 children ( 2 coeliacs) a 4th birthday celebration and parents evening, how to cater?

[jenthehen]

The title says it all really. I need to feed all these people tonight between 3.30 and 6pm when I have to go to parent's evening. I was going to do chilli, rice and jacket potatoes but we seem to have this every time we gather together. Does anyone have any quick and easy meal suggestions to feed the crowds arriving at various times??

Good luck ! I find gin usually helps, just try not to breath on the teacher.

In the end I decided to do bangers(a selection of good quality ones and including gluten free) and mash with peas, gravy, crispy bacon sprinkles, caramalized red onions and red onion relish. Went down very well!

We quite like diy nacho sort of things where theres lots of different toppings to put together (avacado, bacon, chicken, chopped toms, cheese etc etc) for this sort of thing.

The bangers sound lovely - theres great GF ones around.

I didn't realise nacho's were GF, I'll look into doing that next time.. thanks
