Food

Some help please.

For the past few weeks I've been cooking at the Hackney Winter Night Shelter on Friday nights. They have a regular Tesco order/set dish they make at the church I volunteer at, but it wasn't until last week I found out that I can change what we order and what we serve. They have been cooking a chili/bolognese mash up every Friday in Nov-Dec for the last few years so last week I switched it to a chicken curry (obvz) and thanks to a local school donating a crate full of apples, we made home made apple crumble too (rather than the usual frozen dessert we serve up). After chatting to some of the guests, it turns out they pretty much only get to eat minced meat or chicken, and although they weren't demanding anything different, I thought it would be nice to mix it up.

The problem is every week we order too much supplies and now there's a stock of cans of food, it's the last week this church is hosting, so the surplus needs to be used up. I've decided the stock of red onions, kidney beans, and tomatoes can be used to make a kidney bean salad, I'll add cucumber and sweetcorn to those ingredients, and that will use that up, but what to go with it?? I originally was going to do burgers as I thought that would be a nice vibe, but that's minced meat again. Perhaps @dancing james has the best experience of this, but tips on cooking pulled pork or brisket for 20-30 people?
