Main course)
Roast chicken and smokey bacon diced in a garlic and tomato pasata and stuffed in to giant pasta shells. served on a bed of warm spinach.

saw someone on tv this week talking about bread and butter pud made with croissants, can't remember who, but it sounded wonderful ,and happened by accident because they over-ordered on the croissants for a restaurant.

Sounds excellent. The courses are varied and complimentary. A light starter followed by a substantial main course.
But I would offer an alternative mayonnaise or sauce with the starter, to give a choice. Perhaps a salsa which can be prepared in advance?
And a cold dessert - a good shop bought tiramissu with fresh cream, or a fruity cheesecake.
I love cheese and biscuits with port. We don't see it enough.
Gourmet breads seem to be the in thing, so you could offer this either with the starter, or the cheese. Not too much though, if serving with the starter. And a variety of crackers and biscuits with the cheese. I would include water biscuits, small

hi joe, your menu sounds fantastic, if you are going for the ultimate bread and butter pudding, it has to be italian pannetone bread, even better than croissants, used be a seasonal bread ie crimbo, but i think you can get it from most major supermarkets, or try a good italian deli if near to you, maybe some lovely italiano could tell us about pannetone, good luck
