Sandwiches are obviously a good place to start, make sure there are a variety of fillings and ensure some are suitable for vegetarians and picky eaters. For example have mozzarella and sun-dried tomato for vegetarians and plain ham salad for those who may not like ‘fancy’ foods.
Moving away from the obvious sandwiches, you could replace them with tortilla wraps cut into small sections or mini pita breads. Similar fillings can be used but they look a bit more inspired and are an easy way of giving a different slant without being too adventurous.
Potatoes are also a good idea, as they are simple and can be either be reheated or served cold. For example, bake jacket potatoes, scoop out the inside, mix with your choice of filling (e.g. Bacon, cheese) and then just before you are ready to serve to with cheese and heat up in oven for about 10 minutes.
Another good idea is to lay out a selection of cold meats on a sandwich tray, people can have this with salad or maybe add it to one of the tortilla wraps. People like this as it gives them a little more option, this also allows you to have more vegetarian options as meat eaters can add different meats or their choice to any of your food.
For dessert, it is nice to have a fruit selection on a sandwich tray. It is usually easy to make fruit trays look fantastic and they are a brilliant palate cleanser. Mini cakes are also a good idea, they are easy to eat and people are able to eat them even if they have overindulged with the rest of the food.
