| PARTY SUPERVISION – As a professional entertainer, I subscribe to Equity’s Code of Conduct. Children’s entertainers will only work with children when there is a responsible adult present. It is the responsibility of the employer to ensure the condition is met. Equity members are covered by public liability insurance to £5million. We request, for safety, that a minimum of 4 adults are required to be in attendance to supervise the under fours and 3 adults for older children. It helps if the adults attending are FUN-LOVING! We may ask you to join in! The supervising adults’ role is also to issue ‘time out’ for over exuberant children who may begin to interrupt the party entertainment. In an exceptional circumstance, should we feel that a guest is behaving in an unacceptable manner, we reserve the right to ask the responsible adult to exclude the guest from a party game or at worst the party! | ||||||||

Sorry but food boxes and party bags still have to be paid for if there are non-attenders on the party day. | ||||||||

| HOW TO CUT FRUIT CAKE – You will need: A sharp serrated knife with a long thin blade & a flat cutting board Good fruit cake consists of moist flavoursome fruit held together by a tender cake crumb. Fruit cake needs care to cut into small portions. A sharp serrated knife with a long blade is required; a good bread knife is usually suitable. Ornamental Knives used for the Cake Cutting Ceremony are not sharp enough. You will need a clean, moist cloth to wipe the blade clean between cuts. The knife will work best if the blade is clean and moist. Also a flat cutting board . First cut a large piece of the cake, about a quarter of a 10″ cake. Use a sawing action with the serrated blade and make sure to cut all the way down to the base board. Next cut through or break off any icing decoration holding the cake to the board at its bottom edge. Then make sure that the cake crumb is not fixed to the board by sliding the knife underneath, between cake and board. You should now be able to lift the cake, using the knife and blade underneath, onto a flat cutting board. Now start to cut the cake into long slices of the chosen thickness, allowing them to lie flat on the board as you cut them. The long slices can then be cut into smaller portions ready to serve. Any cake not to be served on the day should be wrapped to keep it moist. Cover the cut surface of the crumb with polythene or clingfilm and then place the whole cake in a large plastic bag. Return the cake to the box and store in a cool dry place. Fruit cake does not need to be refrigerated or frozen.As a recommendation; fruit cake portions should be 1″ square, whilst madeira sponge portions should be 1″ x 2″.
