Evening buffet

I think the cone of chips sound like a good idea. But will this be the only food on offer in the evening? Could you do a cone of chips and posssibly something else? I went to a wedding where each table had a basket of chips and a sausage sandwich each :-)

Hi, We're on a budget too and our evening food is cassoulet with crusty bread and a large cheese board with chutneys etc. Works out about £6 a head. We didn't want anything too much for the same reasons as you but we have 40 more guests coming in the evening so need something.

chips sounds good, I'd be happy with that as a guest :-)

My sister had bacon and fish finger butties which went down well too.

I don't think anyone would expect too much in the evening x

We are having a hog roast, not sure it would fit your budget but you could try?

I'd be perfectly happy with a cone of chips! I can't imagine anyone thinking it looks cheap - more like, "I've had a few beers by now and a cone of chips is absolutely spot on"

We're also eating around 4pm, and not doing a huge amount of evening food. Around 9.30pm we're having sausage sandwiches, a lovely big tower of cheese and the wedding cake.

I don't think cones of chips looks cheap at all - we're looking at chips and bacon rolls but lots of wedding these days do snacky food in the evening instead of the traditional buffet. Most weddings I've been to I barely notice the evening food anyway as I'm still stuff from dinner and concentrating on the alcohol!!

We're doing very similar to what's been mentioned already - bacon butties, chips and a cheese tower for a bit of choice. I really wouldn't worry about chips looking cheap, when people have asked me what we're having and I've told them their mouths have started watering at the thought!

We're also hoping to go for a giant cheeseboard. Bread, cheeses, chutneys, jams, biscuits and salad

Basically the same as above. We got told the normal buffet was £15.50 per person and the food was awful, few sandwiches and crisps.

Managed to get chips and bacon sandwiches for £6.50 - reaction has been great from the people I have told so far.

We are having a Ploughman's, lots of cheese, chutneys, breads etc- reasonable and quite substantial too in my opinion.

Our deal we got was sandwhiches for 80 which I am not happy with as there is no choice. To put 2 more things on the buffet cost £497 ☹️ we have settled for 80 sausage rolls which is costing us £300 so I am putting a sweetie table in aswell as I feel really bad I do not want people to think we didn't want to feed them

I went to a wedding reception last year and the food in the evening was bacon butties and chips. They were yummy and went down v well! x

I think chips and the other food mentioned above /\ sounds yummy! It is always nice to have some food like that to pick at if you are a bit hungry and l am guessing a lot of people will be full from the food earlier on in the day.

Hi poppy,

Thanks
