The experience
From sports days and summer fairs to proms, freshers' weeks and fundraising evenings, we bring genuine theatre to school and university catering. Students gather around the oven to watch flames roar and pizzas blister right in front of them: part meal, part live demonstration, and it never fails to draw a crowd. Behind the spectacle sits the paperwork that matters: full allergen awareness and documentation, risk assessments, comprehensive insurance and a 5-star food hygiene rating, all available for your site team before we arrive. We are practised at feeding large groups quickly and keeping queues moving, and we offer competitive rates for educational institutions across Gloucestershire and the South West. Exciting for students, reassuring for staff.
School celebrations, PTA fairs, proms
For school and university organisers
Can you cater a school celebration, PTA fair or prom?
Yes, we cater sports days, proms, freshers' weeks and fundraisers, and we can share risk assessments with the school or university. For a PTA fair or school fete we can come along and sell pizzas directly to families, for a flat attendance fee of £250 to £500 plus VAT.
The fee depends on the day of the week and time of year. We can serve up to 100 pizzas an hour.
What allergen and safety information can you give a school?
Our bases are completely free from nuts and dairy, but our cheeses and Nutella pizza aren't, and everything shares the oven. Tell us about any allergies when you book and we'll go through the ingredients with you before the day.
Risk assessments are available on request, and we carry £5 million public liability insurance and a 5-star food hygiene rating. We're more than happy to send our insurance certificate to you or your venue.
Have you done a university event?
Yes, a staff event for the University of Bath at Claverton Down in September 2026, with fresh pizzas for 75 staff cooked under our gazebo.
Can the oven go indoors in a school hall?
We're an outdoor set-up only, so the oven always cooks outside under our gazebo. Your students and staff are welcome to collect their pizzas and eat them inside.
We need a flat space of at least 3m by 4m, such as a courtyard, car park or field, and we don't need mains power or water for the oven.
