## Catering for a children's birthday

At a children's birthday, activities set the pace. Food should come in clear portions suited to the ages attending; accompanying adults may need a different selection and a separate moment for refreshments.

### Count children and adults separately

Provide children's age groups and the number of adults who will eat. This allows a clear selection with mild, recognisable ingredients; discuss dietary requirements with responsible adults before finalising the menu.

### Make eating a calm activity break

Set a shared food break between activities rather than passing hot plates around during games. A clear table, suitable seats and a drinks point away from active play keep both activities organised.

### Clarify cake, supervision and returns

Give the birthday cake its own moment and adjust other sweets accordingly. Catering does not replace child supervision: agree responsibility for supervision, hot-food serving, used tableware and any food brought by guests.

### Questions about this occasion

**Do adults need a separate menu?**

Not necessarily. Count adults eating separately and add a suitable savoury selection if the children's food is not enough.

**Is child supervision included in catering?**

This menu idea does not promise supervision. Agree which adults are responsible during eating and play.

**Can a child with an allergy join the meal?**

This requires checking actual ingredients and preparation. Parents and organisers should discuss the necessary conditions beforehand.
