Home made Pizza's, masses of home made dough balls, platters of sliced meats, salad leaves, vine tomatos, mini cucumbers and pickles, trays of berry fruits. Easy to prep, relatively cheap particularly with berries in season, doesn't matter exact numbers that turn up. Even fussy eaters can usually find a few bits in the mix to pick at. Can get away with minimal washing up generated as most people don't bother with plates.
