Univ. kids are just as happy to get some good home cooked food as anyone! They normally dont get alot of that at school...anyway...how about veggies n dip, a quick cheese ball with crackers, maybe some cocktail weinners in sauce, another spread with crackers, and then chips, soda pop etc. They will be busy talking and catching up and will just need finger foods! Good Luck!

Ask the 2 strippers before they show up, and the girl that jumps out of the cake to bring some party food. Then you'd save time too!
Give him a Happy B-Day!

Depending on the weather best bet would be BBQ and beer, if the weathers an issue get yourself down to iceland theyve got loads of food that can be prepared in a few minutes, dont know if they have them there in london though

If you go into Iceland food store they do a great range of party foods, like mini pizza, mini quiche, bbq chicken wings, spring rolls etc and gateaux for £3 for 16 portions etc
or alternatively sainsbury's stock various spanish tapas, mexican foods, indian samosas, chicken satay etc
hope it helps and he has a great party

Do a web search for recipes for tailgate parties. Men love that kind of food. Most can be made in advanced and warmed.
