Cut squares of sliced cheese on the diagonal to make triangles.  Roll up meat slices.  Arrange cheese and meat on tray(s).  Arrange tomatoes, lettuce, onions & pickles on another tray.  Arrange breads & rolls in serving baskets.  Make sure rolls are already sliced.  Put mayo & mustards in serving dishes.

Notes:
  • Many grocery stores sell prepared meat & cheese trays.  Shop around for prices.  Prepared trays may not cost that much more especially when you consider your time and effort.
  • It's better to prepare several smaller meat & cheese trays and condiment trays rather than one large one.  Then you can replace empty trays with full, fresh ones.
  • Put out small amounts of breads & rolls at a time.  Otherwise they may dry out.  Replace empty baskets with full fresh ones.
  • Keep all ingredients cool by keeping trays on ice tubs or kiddie pools of ice.
