Oh, delicious. Wm., when offered roast beef on a buffet, people tend to eat way lots of meat. The only way I know to keep the portions somewhat reasonable, is for someone to stand there and carve /serve the meat; and since you are talking 250 people, that is 3 serving lines or 2 double-sided serving lines, so you are looking at 2-3 designated carvers. If you have servers, and cook low and slow to minimize shrinkage, you can plan on 1/2 pound bone in raw weight, no leftovers or seconds. If you choose to go self serve, expect 12-14 ounces raw weight per person. For the salmon, 1 pound raw whole per 5 people. Do be sure to have an entree or side dish for any vegetarians or other medical diets. Plan on at least a dozen servings. The unchuck roast on this site smokes beautifully. You can write back. If I have saved you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a nickel or dime per guest, to support the site. Thank you. |
