i am having a party in august late afternoon into evening and would like some suggestions as what to serve, my daughter is doing a little bbq but i want something more exotic and exciting, any suggestions please

Can you give us a little more information Carol84. Like number of people, whether you want your more 'exotic' dishes to be served with the BBQ or later on, finger food, buffet or sit down? What do you like to eat? Its your day after all. Congrats too

there will be about 30 adults a couple of teenagers and a 5 year old, i think finger food and a couple of hot dishes, hope you can inspire me, thanks

If you don't want to do all the prep yourself and have a large Sainsbury's near to you their deli counters do various platters of finger food at a reasonable price, for a BBQ/hot dish why not trying doing marinated butterflied leg of lamb, halloumi cheese is also great Bbq you could serve it with a rocket salad dressed with lemon and olive oil, a frittata/tortilla of some sorts (as its a special occasion it could be smoked salmon and goats cheese) would be a good thing as well as you can make it and serve cold if you wish as finger food.
Instead of plain old sausages try lamb/beef koftas, they can be made on or off the skewers for the 5 year old
For a desert you could do mini Pavlovas, you can buy meringues and then fill with whipped cream and freh raspberries and strawberries.
I shall have another think and see what else i can come up with

thankyou so much everything sounds delicious and its amazing how other people can come up such good ideas when i have been trying for weeks to think of different things, thanks again for taking the time and if you can think of other things let me know.
