I've been veggie for 25 years and I eat out at Italian restaurants regularly
Never had the slightest problem getting a really good selection of food. They make everything to order usually, so I don't get why you had no choice.

because the host of the party pre-ordered and paid for all the food
and he chose a lot of meat and fish dishes, with just one vegetarian pizza. i didn't want to be rude by ordering something else. and i didn't want to be rude to his aunt when she thought she was being nice/helpful.

next!

I'm a bit confused by this.
You suggested it was "rather fancy" and yet it sounds like a Pizza Hut children's buffet.

i can see why you would be confused
it was a party, which means fun and friends, neither of which seem to be on your radar.

in london, where lots of people live, popular restaurants get very busy at the weekends. as there were about 25 people at the party, they had asked him to order in advance. rather than try and predict what everyone might like individually, he ordered a number of different dishes and bottles of wine for people to share. hopefully words of few syllables have helped you at this difficult time.

A simple "yes - it was a chav buffet" would have done.
