Pat, this was a long answer, and the computer ate it, then it took a week to find the original question again, but here goes: Menu for 200 people- wedding reception, at 2 pm Hi, Pat, Not sure why Leslie's answer posted twice and yours disappeared, butt here is another try. Usually with a 1 pm wedding, the food is planned at a reception level, rather than a full meal menu, because people ate lunch and are not so hungry. This is a heavy menu for a reception. So, this menu could stand some changes , and it will also lower costs. For 200 people, you will look at 4 people in the kitchen/ dealing with the food, and about 12 out front to set up, serve, and clean up. 3 serving lines, or even better, 2 double sided serving lines.
The meats- ham, roasted turkey, chicken strips and brisket(bride choices). My choice would be brisket, turkey and chicken
Vegetables - green beans, fried corn. 18 pounds ready to serve per 100. Fried corn is quite difficult in this large amount, do make ahead and reheat. Or sub a slaw or salad for the corn. potato salad to add the bayou touch.3 gallons per 100, could do 2 different kinds, or one batch potato and one batch pasta salad You need to add a couple of chips and dips, such as 10 pounds chips plus 4 quarts of dip such as a Creole cream cheese dip. Maybe a fruit tray such as one of the deluxe fruit trays for 100 from the fruit tray page. I would put these with the lemonade as an appetizer table
Tea, 12 gallons, 3 unsweetened You can write back. If this is a paid gig, or I saved you time, trouble or money, please make a donation, a dime or quarter per guest, to support this site. Thank you. |
