Personalised Quotes – Why Your Price May Be Lower or Higher

We quote based on your location, date, and our costs

Every kids birthday party catering quote is personalised. We factor in your exact London postcode (travel time and transport costs), the date (weekends and peak seasons may cost a little more), and our operational expenses. This means you may sometimes receive a price lower than our advertised starting point – for example, a weekday morning in zone 3 could be cheaper than a Saturday afternoon in zone 5.

The offer is valid only in London

We currently serve all London boroughs – from Barnet to Bromley, Uxbridge to Upminster. If you are just outside the M25, please email us to check availability. We may still accommodate you with a small travel surcharge.

Two weeks’ notice required – deposit secures your date

We need at least two weeks’ notice to book a chef, order ingredients, and plan the logistics. A 30% deposit is required to secure your date and time slot. The remaining balance is due seven days before the party.

Last‑minute bookings possible – but at sadly priced almost double.

If you need kids birthday party catering with only a couple of days’ notice, we will try our best to help. However, last‑minute arrangements disrupt our schedule and require overtime pay for chefs. Therefore, any booking with less than 72 hours’ notice will be charged at double our standard quote. We always confirm the price before asking for any deposit.

🛡️ Safety First: Keeping the Little Ones Secure

Our chef works with professional-grade hot equipment to serve you the best crepes. To keep everyone safe, we maintain a few simple rules:

• Supervision is Key: Children must be accompanied by a parent at all times. While our chef focuses on the grill, parents should supervise children as they wait in line and choose their toppings.

• The Three-Metre Zone: Please keep ball games, running, and rough play away from the cooking setup. We recommend a “safety zone” of three metres to prevent any accidental trips or spills.

• A Pet-Free Workspace: For hygiene and safety, pets (especially dogs) must be kept in a separate room or outside the immediate service area while we are cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions – Kids Birthday Party Catering

How much notice do you need?

We kindly ask for at least two weeks’ notice to secure your preferred date. This gives us time to arrange our chef, order fresh ingredients, and plan the perfect setup for your home or venue. A 50% deposit is required to confirm your booking – the remaining balance should be paid within 2 days after the event.

Do you cover all of London?

Yes – we proudly serve every London borough. From Barnet to Bromley, Uxbridge to Upminster, our team is ready to bring the pancake fun to your doorstep. Your personalised quote will include any travel adjustments, and we will always be transparent with you.

Can I book with less than two weeks’ notice?

Absolutely – we understand that plans can change or inspiration can strike late. We happily accept last‑minute bookings with a couple of days’ notice. Please just be aware that a premium rate applies, and we will confirm the total price before asking for any deposit. We will always try our best to say yes.

What happens if I need to cancel or change the date?

We get it – life happens. If you cancel more than 14 days before the party, we refund your deposit in full. If you cancel between 7 and 14 days, we keep 50% of the deposit to cover our planning costs. For cancellations within 7 days, the deposit is non‑refundable. However, we are always happy to move your date to another available slot at no extra charge – just let us know as soon as possible.

Do you cater for outdoor parties?

Yes – gardens, terraces, and balconies are wonderful spaces for our live pancake experience. We simply ask that you provide overhead and side cover in case of rain, so everyone stays dry and our equipment stays safe. We love outdoor parties when the British weather cooperates.

What about pets and children’s safety?

We adore animals, but for hygiene and safety, we kindly ask that pets stay away from the cooking area. Parents are welcome to stay close to their children while they wait for pancakes – this makes the experience even more special and keeps little hands safe around hot equipment. We also ask that ball games and running happen a short distance from our setup.

How do I get a personalised quote?

Simply email us at hello@pancakeevents.com with your preferred date, London postcode, number of children, and whether you would like the adult add‑on. We will reply within 4 hours with a clear, friendly quote based on your location, the date, and our travel costs. Sometimes the price is even lower than you expect.

What if it rains on the day of my outdoor party?

No worries at all. As long as you have top and side cover (like a gazebo with side panels), we can cook happily in light rain. If the weather is severe, we will work with you to move the setup indoors or to a covered area. We have never cancelled a party due to weather – we always find a solution together.

How Our Two‑Hour Kids Birthday Party Catering Works – The Experience

A full two hours of live pancake cooking

Our service runs for two hours continuously. That is plenty of time for every child to return for second, third, or fourth pancakes. We bring enough batter, toppings, and chef energy to keep the line moving and the smiles wide.

We pop up anywhere – your home, terrace, balcony, or garden

We do not need a professional kitchen. We can set up on your kitchen table top, a worktop, a terrace, a balcony, or in your garden. All we require is a flat, stable surface and access to a standard electrical socket (or we can use gas canisters for outdoor setups). We bring our own compact, professional machines. This flexibility means our kids birthday party catering works for London flats, houses, and rented venues alike.

Outdoor events – you must provide cover

If you choose an outdoor setup, you must provide overhead and side cover (e.g., a gazebo with side panels) in case of rain. Our equipment is not waterproof, and wet conditions are unsafe. If rain is forecast and you do not have suitable cover, we may need to move indoors or reschedule. We will advise you before the day.
