Catering for crowds of people now-a-days is different from what it was in the old days. Back then everybody brought a plate and shared food. This method is no-longer applicable or acceptable.
Consider the situation at present.
1. Hygiene is foremost and requires some deep thinking.
2. With no vehicle access to the Puhoi Centennial Hall kitchen, catering on a large scale in the hall is a dilemma.
3. The Puhoi Hotel is limited as to seated dining space.
4. Consider feeding the crowds on a cold winter's day, maybe in a marquee? If so, where?
5. Registration will control numbers up to a point but remember all the casual visitors who may flock to the celebrations.
In the old days most families contributed sheep, bullock and poultry - resulting in several hundred people fed!

I suggest the spit roast company, they feed alot of people very simply, we have used them for large catering events and have been very pleased with the outcome.Cost is reasonable as well. I agree with the marquee idea, the hall just does not have the room, leave the hall for family tree set ups and info maybe with a cuppa tea, fantastic meeting place.
