Frequently Asked Questions – School & Student Residence Catering

Everything you need to know about booking a live crepe bar for your school, college, university or student hall event.

How far in advance should a school or residence book?
We recommend booking at least 3–4 weeks in advance, especially for graduation weeks, freshers' events, or end‑of‑year festivals. For peak periods (May–July and September), 6–8 weeks is ideal. However, we always try to accommodate last‑minute requests – just contact us.
Can you cater for gluten‑free, vegan, halal or other dietary needs?
Absolutely. We offer gluten‑free buckwheat galettes (savoury), vegan batters, dairy‑free Nutella, and halal‑friendly ingredients. Just let us know the estimated numbers when you book, and we’ll bring separate utensils to avoid cross‑contamination.
Do you provide plates, napkins, cutlery and everything needed?
Yes – everything is included. We bring high‑quality disposable plates, napkins, cutlery, sugar, condiments, and even a gazebo if you need outdoor cover. You don’t need to supply anything except your students and the space.
What happens if our school event runs longer than planned?
No problem. We charge by the hour with a 30‑minute grace period. If you’d like to extend the crepe service on the day, simply let our chef know and we’ll adjust the final invoice accordingly.
Can you work outdoors, in a canteen, or in a student hall lobby?
Yes – our crepe machines are electric powered, so we work perfectly in courtyards, canteens, common rooms, or any indoor space with a standard power socket. No kitchen access required. We also bring our own tables, cloths, lighting, extension leads, and a gazebo for outdoor events.
What is the minimum number of students? Is it better value for larger parties?
We can cater for groups as small as 30–40 students. However, due to fixed costs (chef time, transport, setup), the pricing becomes significantly better value when you have around 80+ students. For the best price per portion, we recommend aiming for 100+ attendees, especially for multi‑day stalls.
How much do we need to pay to confirm a school booking?
We require a 50% deposit to secure your date. The remaining 50% is due 7 days before the event (or immediately after for last‑minute bookings). This ensures clear portion commitment – no cash handling on the day. We accept bank transfer, card, or school purchase orders.
Do you offer a pay‑per‑stall option where students pay individually?
We are a premium live catering service, not a cash stall. Most schools and residences prefer a fixed portion package where you pay for an agreed number of crepes in advance. This avoids students queuing with money and gives you full budget control. However, for multi‑day events, we can discuss ticket‑based systems – just ask.
Can we pick our own toppings or design a themed menu?
Yes, absolutely. Our live crepe station lets each student choose their favourite toppings – from Nutella, strawberries, banana, and whipped cream (sweet) to ham, cheese, egg, and spinach (savoury). For themed events (Pride, graduation, cultural celebrations), we can create custom topping combinations, coloured icing, and even branded napkins.
Do you offer special discounts for schools, colleges or student halls?
Yes – we offer a 10‑15% discount for state schools, universities, and student accommodation providers, especially for community events, Pride parties, or end‑of‑term celebrations. Just mention your institution or residence name when you request a quote.
Can you set up a crepe stall for two consecutive days?
Absolutely. We can run a crepe stall in your school canteen or student hall lobby for one full day or two consecutive days (e.g., graduation week or freshers' fair). We arrive in the morning, set up, and serve fresh crepes throughout the day. Multi‑day bookings receive additional discounts and a free extra hour of service.

Graduation Ceremony or an Ordinary Day – Set Up a Stall for 1 or 2 Days

Not just for parties – we can also run a crepe stall in your school, college, or student residence for a full day or two consecutive days. Perfect for:

  • 🎓 Graduation week – treat students and families after the ceremony
  • 📖 Ordinary school/uni days – boost morale during exam periods
  • 🏢 Student residence lobby pop‑ups – residents can use meal vouchers
  • 🎉 Freshers' fair or open day – attract visitors with live cooking theatre

How it works: We arrive in the morning, set up in your canteen or common area, and serve fresh crepes throughout the day (e.g., 10am–3pm). You can sell tickets in advance or agree a fixed portion package. No kitchen needed. Multi‑day discounts available for two consecutive days.

👉 Ask about our "Graduation Week" or "Exam Buster" stall packages.
