Assuming this is timed as a brunch/lunch sort of event, you need to end up with about 1 1/2 pounds of food per person. With this menu, assuming a self service buffet, this is about what I would do:
lox- 1 pound each 5 people
The quantities for the following are discussed in detail on the plan for 100 page, the fruit tray page, and the dessert plan page: |

Cooking for 30 people. I am making Shepherd's Pie, as the main dish. What else could I serve along with this to make it a full meal? What quantity of food would I need for the shepherd's pie and the rest? Thanks |

This is usually made with ground mutton in Britain, beef here, and may have a pastry or mashed potato crust. I like to serve a serious green vegetable with this, whole green beans, broccoli, steamed cabbage or possibly carrots if there are none in the pie; ear corn is a possibility. If a pastry crust, you can add a potato side. Good bread and butter, maybe a fruit salad, and they will enjoy their dinner. |

I would use 10 pounds lean ground beef or 12 pounds regular. 12 pounds raw potatoes. 7-8 pounds ready to cook broccoli. Add another pound or so if you are buying whole that needs trimming. |
