    chicken & rocket wraps? cook some chicken breast up, when cool chop and mix with a little mayo. Spread the wrap with the chicken mixture, maybe with a little pesto, add some rocket & roll wrap in baking paper and twist up the ends to seal, cut in half.

    Rice paper rolls
    Little gourmet rolls (little dinner rolls with yummy fillings) or sliced baguette rounds with toppings
    Cold marinated chicken wings
    Cold chicken and salads
    Cheese platter
    Fruit platter
    Dips with biscuits and sliced veges

    If it's going to be cold maybe a big pot of soup and crusty bread rolls (you could heat the soup on the BBQ?) served in cups.?

    Friends did hot dogs at the park , they had a portable/camping gas cooker to boil the water and awesome toppings like cheese, onion, mustard, sauce etc and yummy crusty rolls. They had mini dogs and rolls for the kids.

    We do vegetable sushi - you can easily make in the day before (in fact it is better if you do), it doesn't cost much and makes heaps. It's a great finger food so you don't need any cutlery.

    Mini quiche - use a muffin tray or mini muffin tray with puff pastry cut out with a biscuit cutter and use any filling you like. Also a finger food and serves well cold so you can definitely make it ahead of time.

    Mini subs - Buy bake at home bread rolls and put different fillings in them. Egg salad always goes down well as does chicken salad or deli meat, relish and cheese. For the kids, we sometimes do cherios (I don't know what they are called in other states but the mini ****tail sausages) in the bake at home bread rolls because they look like mini hot dogs and the kids love them. If you want to stretch the sandwiches further, you can cut them in half on an angle once they are made up and they still look fancy but go heaps further.
