Quick ideas for some food

Hello,
My BF has recently phoned me saying he was bringing back some friends after the football he is watching, will be back around 7pm and is there any food. Well, I've just made a cake and some Swiss shortcakes (from the bero cookbook-even though my piping back burst half way through) but was wondering if there is anything else I can knock up quick. I have two eggs left, some bacon, plain and self-raising flour, sugar, butter and potatoes.
I've got some frozen sausage rolls which I can do, but otherwise I'm at a loss as we've been living off the freezer and store cupboard for the last month as money has been tight so we don't have much in. Any help would be appreciated.
