May I have some advice, please? I am buying and cooking for an overnight school camp and am stuck on quantities for buying. I need to provide dinner, breakfast and lunch for 65 11year olds, about 30 17 - 18 year olds and maybe 10 adults. Breakfast is straight forward as is lunch, but dinner is to be cottage pie, a vegetarian pasta bake, salad veggies and then dessert. As already stated, I am stuck on quantities to buy, apart from the obvious things like weetbix, toast, bread rolls, milk and so forth. All suggestions will be gratefully received!

Multiply your family meals. If you are usually cooking for 4, multiply by 30 to get 120 meals, etc

No help for you but an aside. On a school camp years ago my son offered me to make caramel sago (a dish that he loved) for 60 odd!. I was ages tending that massive pot, stirring to make sure it all didn't stick to the bottom. It turned out well and they loved it but I made sure that I was around when he next volunteered my services!
first link that came up googling 'bulk cooking quantities'.
