I would possibly make some sore of appetiser or starter to serve before hand. I usually find pumpkin soup very filling especially when most of the time you'll have a couple of slices of bread or a roll with it too so I probably wouldn't want to eat anything with it or after it (other than dessert )

Asparagus wrapped in proscuitto & puff pastry is always nice (baked in the oven for a short while before serving of course). Curry puffs or mini spring rolls are nice too, served with some nice dipping sauces.
