I'd say you're looking at 3 triangles of sandwich per person (provided there's other stuff to eat as well) - some will have less or none, some will eat more so it evens out. Big bowls of homemade potato salad, pasta salad and coleslaw are cheap to make in quantity and pad out a buffet nicely.
Sandwich fillings - grated cheese, mixed with chopped spring onions, splash of worcester sauce, salt/pepper and mayonnaise - this goes quite a long way. Think the one they have in Greggs has a bit of grated carrot in it too.
Corned beef - mashed up with grated onion, ketchup, worcester sauce, pepper, bit of bovril or beef oxo.
Egg mayonnaise with crispy bacon crumbled into itOver futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game0 -
ham and tuna mayo, always seem to be "typical" buffet sarnies also
i think the more choice of other food that you offer, maybe less sarnies will be eaten
lots of cocktail sausages, mini sausage rolls, volevonts, mini jellys? , cupcakes0 -
Or you could do a "make your own sarnie" bar, with piles of wraps (cut in half?) and big bowls of tuna mayo, cheese savoury as per Cider with Rosie ^ ^, coronation chicken etc.They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm.0

If it was me, I would do fillings and buffet items of:
grated cheese
ham
egg mayo
tuna mayo
sausage rolls
cheese and pineapple sticks (basic cheddar and pineapple pieces)
pork pies cut in halves or quarters
quiche cut into bite sized portions
pizza sliced
crisps
nuts
Have some sliced cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce and onions at the side with pickle, mayo and salad cream for people to add themselves. I think I would do enough for 3-4 quarters each of sandwiches, 200 small sausage rolls (frozen or hm), 28 pork pies into quarters, hm quiches into as many slices as possible 100 portions, 1 slice of small pizza each, basic peanuts, basic ready salted crisps, branston pickle and branded salad cream and mayo, mixture of wm and white bread.
I think this could be easily done for £1.50 per head.To repeat what others have said, requires education, to challenge it,requires brains!FEB GC/DIESEL £200/4 WEEKS0 -
Corned beef? Have you seen the price of a tin lately? If there's a modest budget I would be putting any crispy bacon in an egg mayo sandwich either: I'd slipping some finely shredded iceberg lettuce in it instead. No tuna either: I can't get more than three sandwich-fillings from one tin but perhaps as it's just for myself I'm a bit more lavish as you shouldn't need it thick to get a good taste of it.
I'd be having a ponder about strong-tasting fillings which you won't need much of.
I have absolutely no idea about accurate quantities other than knowing how much you need at home for one or a couple and scaling it up.
Not very helpful, I know. Sorry!
What about cream cheese and cucumber. That "soft cheese" at L!dl is pretty inexpensive.0 -
mash up some tinned chick peas with mayo and a little chilli or curry paste.0

I am doing a buffet for 50 people next week,I got a silverside joint of beef last week,on offer at £4.99 kg.cooked it in the slowcooker.Left it in the fridge overnight then sliced very thinly.I have put it in the freezer,I have done the same with a piece of gammon,£3.49 kg.You end up with heaps of a meat,a lot cheaper than buying prepacked meat.
I will be making,
cheese and tomato
cheese and coleslaw
egg and salad cream

tuna and sweetcorn
tuna and saladcream
roast beef and salad
roast beef and coleslaw
