Party food

Outside catering is always interesting, particularly when it's for a bunch of kids aged from almost 2 to 8. And we decided to do a beach birthday party for your 4th birthday, so it wasn't exactly practical to schlep in large plates of food that could get overturned in the sand.



The result? Small sandwich boxes (4 for £1 in Morrisons), filled with:

2 baby tomatoes (your favourite)
a tiny bunch of grapes
a few carrot sticks
a small sausage roll
a tiny dough ball, filled with cream cheese

We also added a carton of apple or orange juice, a packet of Hula Hoops, and a tiny packet of Iced Gems (which most of the grown ups looked longingly at).
