I'd bring a keg of bitter, a lot of cider and some blackcurrant, and serve up snakebites. Pre-teen girls love nothing better than sweet alcoholic drinks.
Or you could bring trifle, of course. (Naturally, my favo(u)rite is cheese-and-pineapple.) You could serve it with cups of Starbucks, the UK's most popular beverage.

We were told that the Queen eats then on a regular basis.
This year my daughter's troop has been given the task of providing the 'English' food, so what can they make? Preferably something that can be made in bulk in advance and kept warm to be served up once we get there.
They suggested crumpets but it would be too time consuming toasting them all, about 500 people attended last year.
