English translation:To be shared/party platter, requires a 2-day advance order
Explanation:
This is what you will most likely see on an actual menu. Usually, US menus simply say "for two" or "for four," except here, of course, since stuffed pike will feed quite a few people, you can't really do it that way. I wouldn't go with any of the options in Victoria's link either. Most of them seem like they are from folks who never ate out and never saw an actual menu.

Oh, and the general word to use in this context is "party," not "company" - as in "a party of five".

disagree  The Misha: Served to what company? American Express? CIA? This has nothing to do with how such things are usually said and it may be outrright confusing too.
2 hrs
  -> company or party-yes company is confusing.

neutral  The Misha: Some of those answers from way back are truly bizare, and anyway you will not see any of that on a real menu except for some variation on "shared". None of which, of course, is your fault:)
