      Rent a big fridge for a week. Hot pot is an option. Maybe two or three hotpots with different flavour profiles. Or a bbq (immersion in Aussie culture). Satay sticks or similar. Party pies and potat caks! Anything that can be prepped ahead of time.

      Borrow a few slow cookers? Easy to do a 2.5 - 3 kg chunk of pork in each of them, do some amazing pulled pork creation at the other end of it. Don’t need a special kitchen or any magic catering considerations.

      You can likely do lamb/beef just as easily, but pork is my go-to for crowd cooking.
