Whether ordering individual subs or cutting extra-long subs into smaller portions, most catering companies will recommend a 6- to 8-inch sandwich per person. Otherwise, if side dishes are being served with the meal, a 4- to 6-inch sandwich per person is the recommended serving size.<\/p>\n\n\n
When serving 4 to 6-inch<\/strong> sub sandwiches, most people eat 1.5 to 2 on average, as opposed to 6 to 8-inch sandwiches, where most people eat 1 to 1.5 on average. Men<\/span> tend to eat more than women<\/span>, and children eat less than either. Consider reducing the sandwich count when serving sides.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n But which sandwich types are the most popular? What is the best way to serve them? And what about people with dietary restrictions? Let’s go over how to serve sub sandwiches like a pro!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The following chart will help provide an estimation of how many sub sandwiches you will need, depending on the number of guests anticipated to be in attendance at the event. The same ratio applies to tortillas or lettuce wraps.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Never underestimate the popularity of a good sub sandwich. Simple and fresh, this American classic is a crowd-pleaser for a reason! If you plan on serving subs at an event, you may be interested in knowing which subs are the most popular and why. This will help you provide your guests with a satisfying variety of fan favorites.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It should also be noted that, depending on how well you know your guests or on the number you anticipate, vegetarians will appreciate a plant-based option among your spread of sub selections.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The most important part of arranging a variety of sandwiches is making it clear to your guests which sandwich is which. While some of the classics are easy to identify, like beef versus turkey, it’s safer to ensure that everyone knows what they’re biting into beforehand. Try arranging subs on plates with labels<\/a> like “Turkey Avocado,” “Ham & Cheese,” etc. Or, have a server stationed near the table of food who can help answer any guests’ dietary questions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nMost Popular Sub Sandwiches<\/h2>\n
