Train a small hedgehog to walk around the table.
You can them stick small cubes of cheese to it's quills.
This would be an excellent conversation piece as well as providing small snacks for the guests. :banana:

Chicken drumsticks (make sure they are cooked!)
Cocktail sausages
Cheese and pineapple sticks
Various dips inc coleslaw
Celery sticks
Tortilla chips
Undressed salad but leave the bits separate (not every one will like tomatoes, cucumber, carrot etc)
Mixed cooked meats
Quiches
Scotch eggs
Pork pies
A nice dip recipe is to grate approx 25g of cucumber. Strain most of the water off the grated cucumber by wrapping in a clean tea towel and squeezing it. Then mix the cucumber with approx 150g of low fat soft cheese and 150g of Greek yoghurt. (should keep for a few days if kept refridgerated).

At the last 2 weddings I've been to, they had bacon rolls at the buffet....what a corking idea, rolls and bacon are just the ticket when you've been boozing most of the day.
Chocolate fountains seem to be flavour of the month as well now.

Nuts
Dips
Spring rolls
Pasties

Youre In The North East Krazy. Theres a butchers in the Viking Centre in South shields/Jarrow
That sells Kangaroo, Snake , Byson Crockodile etc It also sells South African/Rhodesian sausage called Boerewors, It comes in a long single piece like cumberland ring but with a spicier taste. excellent chopped into smaller byte size bits and put on a stick.

Focaccia is a soft light Italian bread made with white flour and olive oil. Flavourings such as herbs, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes or olives are frequently added.
Bagels are rolls with a hole and are golden brown and crusty on the outside and tender on the inside. They are primarily associated with Jewish culture but are now widely available.
