    Maybe some mini sausage rolls, with cake and biscuits as others suggest, and if they don't eat them they are easily stored back in the fridge.
  • Go back and ask if they would like to stay for lunch. That way you will find out if they plan to stay.

    Turning up at 11:30 and saying they are meeting family later could mean meeting up for supper.

    I agree you should ask whether they are stopping for lunch and if they aren't then buy some posh cake.

    Thanks for all the suggestions - in the end I bought a selection of dips with a French stick & Doritos. This was more than they expected so glad I didn't go overboard.
