We are having a hog roast ( someone else is doing this part) I have 12 doz ears of corn 6-8 gal baked beans 6-8 lbs pasta (pasta salad) 6-8 lbs Mac (Mac n cheese) Buns Thinking 200 -250 needed 6 gal tea (also water available) For dessert we will have wedding cake/ cupcakes Then I'm making peach and apple cobblers 4-5 each with one each being sugar free. (9x13) Will we have enough food planned? ( they are also planning on having beer kegs for drinks available) |

You are headed in the right direction, but you have some shortages. This is what I would do: Make sure it is 150 pounds or more of pig, or you will need to add a second entree.
12 doz ears of corn-break some into halves or add another dozen. Do not forget butter
6-8 lbs pasta (pasta salad) - do 8
Buns Thinking 200 -250 needed- 250 6 gal tea (also water available)- at least 12, and 1/3 unsweetened
For dessert we will have wedding cake/ cupcakes I suggest dinner level coffee since you are serving alcohol, see the beverage planning page. A keg of beer serves about 40 beer drinkers. You need an appetizer area and here is why:
Before the Buffet; Why You May Need an Appetizer Table This does not have to be complicated. Three items, plus a punch, or two if one is alcoholic, are sufficient. Typically, include a fruit tray, a cheese tray and an attractive dip or spread; or you can go with a dinner theme such as TexMex with chips, salsas, Texas caviar and guacamole; Italian with bruschetta or antipasto; maybe shrimps or other cold seafood, if budget permits. For this menu, a fruit tray and chips with queso and salsa would be a simple choice. 12-15 pounds chips, 3 gallons assorted dips.
