    I used to cater for kids parties and I used Iceland, all frozen, all cheap and convenient. I had their mini pizza, chicken drumsticks, sausage rolls and loads of sandwiches. I also bought their processed meat and made a platter.
    I personally would not look to cater for 40 people using material from scratch (you will be too stressed for that) CHEAT - get down to Iceland or farmfoods and improvise! Best of luck.

    which is EXACTLY why I'd always do my own catering - I would be livid if i paid for catering to discover it had be bought from Iceland. Shocking.

    I've catered 40 from scratch lots and if you keep it simple its more than doable. Hope it went well

    i have to agree, i have bought iceland stuff before and will never buy it again!!!! if i paid someone to do catering for a party and found it consists of iceland food i would demand a refund! You pay for catering, you expect a certain standard and that does not include iceland food!

    I have catered for 20 people and manged quite easily so doubling the amount and maybe adding a few things should be managable even if it is a little stressfull!!! :p
