F.A.Q.
Does the school need an oven?
No, I bring the oven and all the equipment for your children to create their feast.
How is the hall set up?
I bring all the equipment but you do need about 10 tables for the children to work at and to serve up the feast on. You also need some benches for the children to sit at whilst I demonstrate. Below is a plan to help get things ready and so you can liaise with your team prior to me arriving at 7:30 on the day of your sessions.
Below is a picture of my two stainless steel tables and equipment that I set up at the front of your hall.
Do you supply the food?
Yes. All the food is supplied by The Fun Food Chef.
What about Health & Safety
I send Risk assessments, DBS details, and Insurance details to you prior to your sesions.
How many children to a session?
Usually in class groups of 30 but I am flexible particularly in schools with smaller classes.
How long is a session and what are the timings for a day?
each sessions are about an hour and 15 minutes in length.
A usual day sees us arrive at 7:30 to start setting up. A guide for session timings is;
session 1 9:05 to 10:20
session 2 10:30 to 11:45
Session 3 13:15 to 14:30ish
Does it have to be in a hall?
The more space the better. the sessions are load, fun and exciting and the more space means that the activity is run more safely. If you look at the plan above you will see that there is a lot of equipment food and tables required including the banquet table.
What ages do you cover?
The more space the better. the sessions are load,fun and exciting and the more space means that the activity is run more safely.
Do you supply the hats?
Yes I supply the hats and aprons tat the children wear during the sessions.
How do we find out about allergies?
This is part of the letter I supply the school with for parents or guardians to fill in prior to the session with The Fun Food Chef. You can see the letter by clicking on the tabDear Parent 11.12 version3
When shall I book?
As soon as you can as I get booked up fast. If you have a specific date in mind drop me an email or give me a call and I can check availability and secure a date with you today.
Do The children take the food home?
No. This is all about tasting food. It is about children and adults exploring flavours and developing their likes and in particular hopefully finding out they like some fruits and vegetables that they thought they didn’t. Food is prepared freshly and when is ready to be served is tasted eaten. many recipes are left with the school and are on this website so they can recreate the dishes at home with help from parents and guardians.
How far do you travel?
I am based on Wirral however can cover most of the North West and North Wales. On occasions I have traveled to Yorkshire also.
How much does it cost?
I will email costs to schools on request as it depends exactly where your school is and how many workshops you require. As said Wirral is my home so the further I travel the greater my cost are (travel, labour etc.) and this then reflects in the quote I send.
