i think everyone will have some penne and chicken on their plate - each tray feeds about 20 ppl - so i would get 2 trays of those items and 1 tray of everything else you mentioned.

maybe a 5' hero

Depends on how bug the trays are. I would ask the place you are getting it from. Some serve around 20 and others 30-40. When I orginally was placing my order for DD's Christening from our caterer, I was totally ordering too much - her trays serve 30-40!Chat Icon

I just had a party for about 50 adults for DD first birthday.

I ordered:
1 1/2 trays penne vodka
1 1/2 trays chicken
1 tray eggplant rollatini
1 tray shell steak
1 tray of salad

It was the perfect amount of food and we had leftovers!

Def work with your caterer though because the size of trays do vary
