How many sandwiches
for 20 people?

For 20 people, plan on about 20 sandwiches or wraps. The easiest ways to get there are a 4 foot party sub, which serves 20, or two large sandwich platters, which serve 24.

The short answerFor 20 people, order a 4 foot party sub ($120, serves 20) or two large sandwich platters ($240, serves 24), then add a salad and something sweet.

Two ways to feed 20

Option 2, platter lunchTwo large assorted sandwich platters (serves 24) $240, large tossed garden salad (serves 20) $65, large fresh fruit platter (serves 20) $90$395

Which one should you pick?

  • Choose the party sub if you want one big centerpiece and a simple setup. Order 24 hours ahead, because we order the bread in.
  • Choose platters if you want variety, a veggie option, or you are ordering the same day.
  • Add a veggie wrap platter if anyone does not eat meat.
