    • The maximum amount of guests Palates can host comfortably is 20-25 kids. For parties with more than 12 guests, an additional $50 for a second instructor to assist will be charged.
  • 2 hours of party time.
  • 1 glass container of juice (serves 8 guests) and water are complementary.
  • Invitations can be picked up - hardcopy only.
  • All ingredients for a 3 course meal.
  • An interactive and hands-on cooking experience for all guests.
  • Decorated table settings and centrepieces are included (plates, cutlery, and cups).

Feel free to contact Palates prior should you wish to bring your own decor and place settings.

Please be advised that our Cooking School is not an allergy-free zone, but we will try our best to accommodate your needs.

Housekeeping

  • Parents/family of the birthday child or their guests may remain in the centre during an event. Should parents wish to eat their children’s prepared food, a charge of $50 will be applied to the scheduling family’s account.
  • Due to the structured approach of Palates cooking parties, no additional activities can be accommodated. Examples of these activities can include (but are not limited to): art activities and party games. No exceptions can be made. If sufficient time is available (or purchased at time of booking) presents can be opened once all cooking is completed. Again, the structure of the cooking/teaching generally takes much (if not all) party time allotted. If not previously arranged at time of booking, additional party time will be charged at a rate of $50 for every 15 minutes of extra time. Please note that additional time will be rounded up and charged accordingly. For instance, if party goers remain in the centre for 20 minutes, the booking family’s account will be charged for 30 minutes additional time.
  • Due to our busy schedule, prompt clean up and exits are much appreciated as our next guests will arrive shortly after your party.
  • Party hosts can arrive 15 minutes prior to the scheduled party time to decorate.
  • To reduce waste, please bring containers to package leftovers ... and there’s always leftovers!
  • Please make sure to confirm the number of guests at least one week prior to your party. All charges reflecting this confirmation will stand thereafter.
  • Additional party time arranged at time of booking will be charged at a rate of $50 for every additional 30 minutes. Unplanned additional time will be charged at a rate of $50 for every 15 minutes of additional time. Time will be rounded up to the nearest 15 minutes and charged accordingly. For instance, if partygoers remain in the centre for 20 minutes, the booking family’s account will be charged for 30 minutes of additional time.
  • If you wish to bring your own party food, snacks, beverages (anything except birthday cake) a $50.00 surcharge will be applied for food allowed. No food items will be stored in Palate’s fridges due to sanitary considerations. Food items brought in must be prepared prior to coming to Palates; our kitchen is not for public use. Palates assumes no responsibility or liability for food items brought into the site.
  • No piñatas, confetti, or sprinkles of any kind are able to be used at Palates.
  • In order to reserve your party, the entire party price must be paid upfront. This is nonrefundable. Should you need to cancel your party, a credit will be issued to your account if you cancel 2 weeks prior to your party date. With less than 14 days notice, no credit will be issued. Credits for parties can only be used for a future party booking, no exceptions.
  • Should you need to reschedule your party, a minimum of 2 weeks notice is needed to change the date or time of your party without forfeiting your deposit. Changes made with less than 14 days notice will not be possible. In this case, if the date does not work, the party will unfortunately be cancelled and the deposit will be unable to be refunded (see above point concerning Palates’ credit policy). If the date of the party is changed twice, the deposit made will be forfeited, meaning you will need to create a new booking and pay a new deposit.
