I like a big dish full of nuts and raisins. You can Google “trail mix” or “how to make trail mix”. Trail mix is always healthy, tasty and almost never requires refrigeration.
Many diff kinds of raisins.
My favorite kinds of nuts include cashews, almonds, pecans, walnuts and sunflower seeds. But there are many, many others to chose from.
I would never include peanuts because I’ve heard so many people are allergic to them and it can put a real damper on any kind of celebration if one of the guests needs to be spirited away to a hospital in an amublance. The celebration will be memorable. But not in a good way.
**I wonder if any other kind of nuts can be a problem? **Certainly there may well be some people who like to spend time on their PCs who might qualify as potential candidates. Caution is recommended.
Poison Control Hotline may sound offensive. But it’s an excellent precaution. It really is. Some folks may take offense. But if they ever need that number they will thank you forever.

I’m allergic to cashews, walnuts and pecans but not peanuts, so yes, other kinds of nuts can be a problem.

If you have limited cooler space, you can increase your efficiency by using frozen drinks in plastic bottles and juice boxes instead of ice packs.
I too am wondering what kind of place would let you rent/borrow a space for a large group but won’t let you access a fridge. I’ve attended events at co-working spaces, and they would clear the beer and lunches out of at least one fridge for the short-term renters.
Hummus. That stuff’s indestructable. And nom, nom, nom…
