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?

I have added all this stuff to the spreadsheet - shall I take the stuff off that isn't listed here?

From experience, when you are catering for 100 people, you only need to provide enough food for about 70, as there will be people who don't want to eat/eat very little. We were told that by the people who did the buffet for our wedding, and have always used that as a guide, and there has still always been plenty. Not sure if that makes any difference to the quantities.

Hiya Snaggs-you ok?
Sounds like party planning is coming along! Wish I could make it,...(DH would be convinced I was running off to meet a bloke if I said I was going to Telford to a party with peeps I'd never met!!)

Just woken up again, put the heating on earlier and have boiled myself, feel slightly better though. Hungry after catching up on the thread!

Hope things go well with GM Maz x
