Are you asking what you like to cook or what you like to get?
duck starter, rib eye beef main, dessert tesco special fudge or carrot cake (usally 5.99e) or go to avoca and get one of those choco cakes for about 15e, theyre something else.
for a very easy dessert make pancakes with a scoop of ice cream, winner every time. Pancakes can be made earlier and reheated.
Friend of mine whos a chef says a big mistake people make when cooking at home is they cook and prepare for hours and by the time people come and eat the home cook is exhausted and doesnt enjoy the after meal conversation so keep it as little labour intensive as possible.
boards.ie has a food forum, some good foodies on there.

Alot of butchers don't do the rib eye cut, its either sirloin,striploin ot fillet
Steak can be tricky ,you have to cook it how they like it,then you need some jus ,gravy which you really need to have done the steaks on a pan for
Then what kind of potatoes, I like proper frites and green salad but I'm not cooking chips
Then you can't serve green salad unless you've the fries ,that means a vegetable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why not cook a nice roast and then put your veg etc on seperate plates and let people help themselves that way they will just eat what they like .
It'll also be hard to get a date that will suit us all so maybe that should be the first thing to discuss
After that I think it would be churlish to make demands on what we are fed.
I would often cook for 8 people and what goes down best would be when I do a lamb vindaloo and a chicken korma - 2 big pots in the middle of the table, tumeric basmati rice & naan bread. Oh and a big dish of spiced potatoes. Heaps of wine and always a champagne cocktail on arrival.
When I'm trying to impress and only have 4 I would do fish - prawns in a cognac butter sauce stuffed into ramekins which is simple and delicious followed by trout wrapped in proscuitto standing up in a creme fraiche and white wine sauce - looks fab and is simple.
God I'm starving.

I like to do Monkfish and tiger prawns in a lime, white wine and tomato sauce on tagliatelle. Dead easy to do and can be left warm in the oven for 10 minutes is everything doesn't come together on time. Mrs Purple doesn't eat fish so I give her toast
Shredded Duck salad with figs is a good starter. Ms Purple doesn’t eat game so I give her a cuppa-soup.
Its not a bloody restaurant,they'll eat what the're given and like it
well said.So why are you asking us?

What do you like to make?
What can you make well?!
What can you make in advance?
My choice today would probably be to make brown bread and have smoked salmon, capers and dill sauce with it for starters (with a nice Chablis); lamb is in season at the moment, and anyway Lidl do good frozen NZ lamb all year round, with new potatoes, peas and carrots (with a Marlborough Cab. Sauv); and then finish with cheese and fruit (and a Tokay or a glass of port).
