We host in school workshops.
We deliver fun, hands-on primary school workshops that bring hospitality to life for children in a way that feels exciting, creative, and genuinely useful. This isn’t “someone talking at them” for an hour, it’s practical activities that build confidence, teamwork, communication, and real-world life skills. The children leave buzzing, and teachers leave with a session that’s structured, safe, and easy to run within the school day.
Why do we do this?
We do this because children deserve to see real-world careers in a positive, exciting light before they’re boxed in by assumptions about what’s “good enough” or “for people like them.” Hospitality is one of the biggest employers in the UK and it’s everywhere, hotels, cafés, restaurants, events, attractions, sports venues, festivals, but most children only ever see a tiny part of it. They don’t see the creativity, leadership, business thinking, teamwork, or the range of roles behind the scenes. So by the time careers conversations start getting serious, a lot of young people already have a narrow view of what hospitality is, and whether it could ever be a future for them.
Our workshops exist to change that early. We give pupils a hands-on experience that shows hospitality as a skillset and a pathway, not just a job. They get to design, create, problem-solve, and work as a team, while practising confidence and communication in a way that feels fun and achievable. The outcome we’re aiming for is simple: pupils leaving with a wider view of what they could do, a better understanding of how the working world actually works, and that spark of “I could see myself doing this.”
​
We aim to send every child home with our book too, so they can keep their imagination alive and connect to fun career led characters.
Activities children can take part in
Our stations are designed to feel like real hospitality experiences, but built for a school setting:
Mocktail Making – children create and name a mocktail, learn presentation, decision-making, and confidence.
Biscuit / Shortbread Icing – a “chef” activity focused on creativity, pride in craft, and following steps safely.
Napkin Folding & Table Skills – hands-on practical skills, patience, and attention to detail (with a wow-factor finish).
Design a Restaurant – a guided worksheet and discussion where children create a concept: name, menu, values, theme, and customer experience.
If you want something more curriculum-linked, we can align the activities to speaking and listening, writing prompts, PSHE themes (community, careers, kindness), enterprise, or design/technology.
Why schools book us
Children don’t remember worksheets.
They remember experiences. These workshops are built to give them that “I can do this” feeling, especially for pupils who might not shine in traditional classroom learning. The sessions are inclusive, high participation, and designed to build confidence quickly.
Teachers often tell us the same thing afterwards: the pupils were engaged, worked as a team, and surprised themselves. And when children go home talking about what they made, what they designed, and how proud they felt, that’s impact.
