little tank Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Wraps are easy and cheap to make , savory tarts again easy to make and cheap shop bought pastry and fill with what ever. Can't really go wrong with a mixed salad , (often on offer at supermarkets) add homemade crutons ect . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesther Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Egg mayonnaise sandwiches, cheese and crackers, French bread and pate, sausage rolls, pizzas - why not ask everyone to bring a plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EODM83 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Me and my Mrs went to the deli on Divisionstreet - they were really helpful and we got quiches, pork pies, chicken legs, all sorts for very reasonable prices, we then made up a load of sandwiches with bread and ham from Aldi - ended up feeding about 60 for about £1.20 a head, maybe less. And there was plenty of food, even some left over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningman1 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 For the school buffets I do i use iceland party selections. They are a bargin. Iceland is really poor quality though, the food is like Kerry Katona, looks ok but nothing to it. You should just cook. A big bowl of chili and rice as the main thing, then bags of sausage rolls, crisps, them weird cheese blocks on tooth picks (whomever came up with that was surely a weird one).

Mister M Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 No, it's just an adults birthday party You could do an 'Abigail's Party' theme, complete with 'cheesy pineapple ones', Demos Roussos mood music, and Pilchard Curry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoblog Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Hula Hoops make a great base for epicurean delights of the buffeterial persuasion! Stuff 'em individually with meat paste, cheese, Scots bonnets, Marmite, anchovies … the World's your lobster … oh, yeah, that reminds me … oysters as well! Cut crisps into square shapes with nail clippers for that 'WOW! ' factor, and cut Frey Bentos pies into little round cakes with a biscuit cutter and serve in fairy cake cases topped with Bisto 'jus' … Aaah! So far as desserts are concerned, toothpaste and Swarfega are your friends here, adding a minty fresh taste and gelatinous look to even the most mundane of supermarket favourites. 'Délice de angel menthe', although very fancy sounding, being nothing more than a packet of Angel Delight, a tub of Swarfega, and half a tube (125ml) of Gibb's SR. Serve this either as a dollop, or even better … in Hula Hoops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
