Fun Food Chef

I am Pat Oakes AKA The Fun Food Chef

Over the years I have visited 100’s and 100’s of schools providing 10,000’s of children with a unique food experience supporting specific topics, D.T. and Health events. Our sessions are ever increasing and are for all Key Stage children, young adults and even parents! These workshops are remembered well in to adulthood and very often proclaimed the favourite day of the year by children and staff.

 

Although a Flintshire based Company I travel across all of North Wales and North West England, inspiring and educating through my tasty interactive workshops. From York to Liverpool, Colne to Gwersyllt, Dolgellau to Bolton, numerous school children, of all ages, have enjoyed The Fun Food Chef’s visits. Young Adults and Adults have also been inspired. Merseyside, North Wales, Cheshire, Yorkshire, Bolton and Lancashire are the main areas I cover.

 

Some of the sessions can be seen below but remember it’s an ever changing feast that’s all about the taste!. Don’t delay and give me a call or email to book and don’t let your children miss out on the “Great Food & Great Fun”.

HUGELY POPULAR WITH CHILDREN, YOUNG ADULTS, STAFF AND PARENTS

These are just a few of the sessions available... Please click on the ``Other Workshops`` button at the end of the previews to see more.
