    DH has said it will be worth a run down to COSTCO as they do party platters but I am sure we could do it much cheaper....

    OK Food wise

    French Stick x 10
    Cold Meat - allow 2 slices per person
    Cheese platter
    Coleslaw - 2-3 large bowls
    Rice Salad - 2-3 large bowls
    Pasta Salad - 2-3 large bowls
    Crudities (carots, cucumber etc)
    Dips
    Breadsticks
    Sausage rolls ( allow 1-2 each person)
    Quiche - 5 large
    Bowls of salad - 2 large bowls
    Crisps
    Mini cocktail sausages or some kind of chicken

    you could also then get a few platters of bits such as the indian or chinese ones to sit alongside everything else.

    Then you need 10 desserts which will serve 10 people
    Cheesecakes
    Pavalova
    trifle
    strudle
    gateaux

    how does that sound?

    Things like pasta salad and rice salad are so easy to do in large quantities and coleslaw you can make for pence compared with buying it as all you need is carrot, onion and white cabbage and mayo, stick it in a food processor to chop and voila
