Since this is a mealtime service, it is essential to offer enough food that you do not run out before everyone is served. This means you need to add some appetizers/ nibbles such as chips and dips, relish trays; a couple of sandwich side dishes (potato and/or pasta salad? bean salad or bean dish?), maybe a veg salad or finger salad. None of these are costly and some can be done ahead, or work around "no kitchen". What is your situation and how would you like to proceed?

Do be sure to read the chocolate fountain article also.

Otherwise people will eat way too much meat (expensive) and still feel like it was a skimpy meal...
