We're getting our son baptised in 3 weeks time..................iv got the huge tast of feeding those who come along, at the min were looking at numbers of around 80 people on my buffet menu iv got
Ham and peaspudding sarnies
Plain ham
Egg and mayo
Cheese and tom quich
Corned beef pie
Pringles
Cheese and tom pizza's
Dipping sauce for pizza ((garlic and onion)
Small cocktail sausage rolls
pineapple,hotdog,cheese and pickle onion on cock tail sticks
is this what everyone would expect to see? I was thinking chicken drum sticks but then people are funny about chicken being cooked properly also some people dont like chicken on the bone!
Peanuts where a maybe as a friend has a bad peanut allergy
If you want chicken Asda have goujoins included in their 3 packs for £10 meat deal. Easy to cook and can be eaten cold.
Maybe add another couple of dips with some raw vege sticks - carrots peppers cucumber are all good and add some tortilla chips as well.
With small kids bread sticks are a must :)
As a vegetarian I hate buffets organised by other people. Its a guessing game with pizza or quiche so maybe add little 'flags' on cocktail sticks letting people know what flavour things are.
I think you are very brave, catering for my eldest's christening was done by a catering company. My Excuse - I was slightly pregnant with her sister, arrived 1 week later!
Did do the second one by myself but not so many people as you are expecting
Also, never cater for the full 80 guests. It's a buffet, not a meal. Cater for 60 people and you'll be fine. Nobody ever eats 'one of everything'... don't forget all the cutlery and plates and drinks. You can hire a tea-urn very cheaply these days.
