Handy Sandwich Platter Catering Tips

As a general rule, ordering 1.5 sandwiches per person is the perfect number. If you're ordering a salad or an accompanying platter, 1 sandwich per person is the preferred portion size.

Choice of bread often depends on the fillings but you can never go wrong with classic white and wholemeal. When you use combination of both it would make nice color contrast on you sandwich platter so it will look delicious and make your guest mouth watering.

As to quantities, it will depend on how much other stuff you're offering, but I'd think two sandwiches per person, assuming there are other things. Other suggestions: sausage rolls, mini baked potatoes (nice topped with a dollop of creme fraiche and some snipped chives), cheeseboard with crackers, grapes, cherries.

Full Trays generally serve 25-30 people, half trays, 12-15 people depending on the quantity of other foods served.

For 60 people, you may need around 120-150 finger sandwiches, depending on the type and size of the sandwiches.

That depends on how many usable slices there are in the loaves you choose. If there are 25, it'll take 4 loaves (you'll need 100 slices for 50 sandwiches). If there are 20, it'll take 5. And so on.

For 25 people that amounts to about 8 pounds. If you are adding cheese and other additions to the sandwhich you may want to cut the amount of meat down to 1/4 pound per person. You can serve a skimpier sandwich if you like, however, Id rather be more extravagant.

If you want some extra insurance that your sandwich won't be soggy when lunch rolls around, start with something super sturdy. Instead of sliced sandwich bread, go for a heartier option like a crusty baguette, ciabatta, or a roll.

Ideally, you should aim to make your sandwiches as close to the day of your party as possible for the best flavor and freshness. I recommend making your sandwiches no more than 48hrs in advance for the best flavor come party time. So there you have it!

Arrange the breads, meats, cheeses, and veggies on the board so people can easily grab what they need to build their own sandwich. I usually put out 3-4 different kinds of bread, 4-6 different kinds of meats, 3-4 different kinds of cheese and a variety of vegetables and spreads. Serve and Enjoy!

If you're spending a considerable amount on store-bought bread, you'd be wise to consider baking your own at home. By doing this, you'll be saving money without sacrificing taste or quality ingredients.

How to Set Up. Set up this buffet with the slices of bread in one area, the choice of meats, cheeses, and sandwich fillings next to that with lots of spreading utensils, and condiments last. Plates and lots of napkins are the only tools you need.
