The best way to give you a guide on food without staff or preparation is to go online and do a tesco's/waitrose shop order. Add everything you need and see what the end receipt would be. Normally you would allow for 1 of everything minimum for every guest (other than the vegetarians). You would need a separate BBQ to cook the vegetarian kebabs, unless they were prepared the day before. Laying out food/staffing/clearing and cleaning needs to be considered.
ReplyDeleteAnother thought: (not sure if you will like it though!)is to have a trestle table with washing up bowls, clothes and tea towels. It would be very rustic and thrifty to get the guests to wash up the own plates but would definitely cut down on costs/staffing. You could issue a plate and glass on arrival with their names on!
