Help needed with a tasting dinner

hey guys, the SWMBO and i just moved into a new house, and are going to be having a couple "events" coming up. the first is going to be a dinner for both our families to come, check out the new place, have a nice dinner prepared in our nice new kitchen, and enjoy some homebrew. I've not done any pairings before, and need help. I've got an Irish Red Ale, an American Cream Ale, and a Nut Brown Ale, and would like help picking food that will go with each. Like, a course for each beer.

Any suggestions?

When I think of Nut Browns, I think of cheddar cheese soup.
The cream ale with go with just about anything, the carbonation is good for lifting fats/creams off your tongue; it would probably also go good with spicy food, although not as good as a hoppy IPA
