Top potluck ideas for any dinner party

• Dips – Share a bowl of dip, like houmous or feta and beetroot dip, with veggies, pita chips, and more to dunk.

• Salads – Choose those with hardier leaves so they don't go soggy. Assemble a leafy salad or antipasti pasta salad.

• Canapés – Bite-sized bites like bruschetta or vol-au-vents are great for party grazing.

• Traybakes – A big sharing tray of lasagne or meatballs is always a crowd-pleaser.

• One-pots – Easy for transportation, bring a pot of chicken curry or bolognese.

• Desserts – End the night on a sweet note with a fruity cheesecake or a tray of fudgy brownies.
