Beer and pickled eggs.

I'd do scones and Jam and cream. and a big pot of tea spiked with whiskey.
US version of sausage rolls (hotdogs chopped in half and rolled into half of a Crescent roll) then cooked in the oven the night before and served cold.
Jello and Custard.

I'd do miniature pastys... but make them cheese and onion ones

You could make a fully cooked shephards pie, and take it in a crock pot to warm it up.

Cucumber sandwiches

Triffle

Toad in the holes, but baked in muffin pans with weaner sausages

When I read the title I assumed you were all going to take in a shovel and take it in turns to dig a little hole while everyone else watched......

No new ideas on the food - any idea you could get a deep fat fryer and do fish and chips?

British day at work? Two hour lunch breaks with four pints and a packet of pork scratchings.

That was my British day at work.

How about a victoria sponge to finish it off. I like the idea of telling them its an English tradition to drink lots when there is a Royal wedding - they wont know if its true or not!
