Default What to serve?

Long story short. Got two delegates coming for a software training
course (for three days next week). Too few to make hiring a venue and
getting in professional caterers for it to be cost effective...

So, we are going to have the course here at our place. They will have
one hour for lunch (at about 1pm) and I have volunteered to do the catering.

So... what can I prepare that will be "ready on time" and will be tasty?

My list so far (thanks also go to some of the "chatters" on the channel
for these ideas).

Day 1: Chicken (roasted) with seasonable veggies
Day 2: Shrimp with salad and/or garlic bread... or some sort of curry
(beef or lamb?)
Day 3: Beef-steaks, maybe some lamb chops, or ribs? and some of our
traditional boerewors (sausage) done on the grill (that way they can
tell me how they like their steaks done. Thought of chucking some
potatoes on the fire too? Oh, and some "pap" - corn meal porridge -
another traditional side-dish...

I am a bit wary of pork - too many people don't eat it, for various reasons.

What about desserts?

I will buy various sodas, get some bottled water, peanuts, candies etc.
for them to "munch" on during the course. Tea and coffee will be served
along with biscuits at 10am and 3pm...

So what have I forgotten?

Any suggestions welcome!
