Catering For 25 People

[chokkie]

We're organising the catering for a summer party for 25 people in the summer. One of the things we've allocated to ourselves is a garlic and anchovy gravy for barbecued lamb. Any ideas, anyone, as to how much of this gravy we should be producing? The recipe doesn't really say how many people their quantity serves - but it uses 500ml lamb stock. Any ideas folks, please? TIA, Chox.

8 pints should be enough IMHO (but don't blame me if it runs out, and if there's any left over just send it round, sounds delicious)

Many thanks - that's just what I wanted to know. Will do the recipe quantities, possibly x 10 - the left-overs (if any!) can always be frozen afterwards. Our group are a bunch of gannets if truth be known! It's not until early July, but I am trying to get organised and write shopping and "to-do" lists now. Don't want to leave anything to chance. Many thanks again, cheers, Chox.

I normally allocate 1 / 4 pint per person so that would equate to 6 1 /4 pints for 25 servings or around 1.4 litres.

This recipe caters for four people so may give you an idea. Multiply by 6
