Field Trip FAQs

NO

No. We are not an approved vendor in Broward county and have no plans to become approved in the foreseeable future.

Yes. Not only is it an appropriate activity, we have found it to be one of the most gratifying for these students as well as for us! We have successfully worked with all levels of special needs students.

Absolutely. Call Chef Arthur anytime with your questions. His direct number is 786-395-0355

The time needed for the event is affected by a number of different factors.

  • The age of the children will affect the time needed. Younger children take longer then older children.
  • The size of the group affects the time. Larger groups take longer then smaller groups.
  • When we find the room with all the needed tables and chairs in place, that saves of time. If we don't have to gather tables and chairs from other rooms in the school we can save a lot of time.

That said, we can usually get the job done in time regardless of the above circumstances. We can simply work at a faster pace if needed. However, when there is a time limitation we appreciate knowing well in advance.

Yes. We always appreciate when the room is ready for us when we arrive. Please have the needed number of tables and chairs in the room where the event will take place. There is no need to arrange the table and chairs, just have them in the room.

3 day's before your field trip you will receive an email from us requesting a final head count. If your "final head count" number is higher or lower, you can make the adjustment by replying to that email. If we do not receive an adjusted number, you will be billed according to the original number. If you supply us with a new number, the new number will be the amount you will be billed for.

Yes, your event can start anytime; whatever is best for you. We are only suggesting 9am as a start time as this time works best for most organizations. If you would like a start time before or after 9am please send an email request to [email protected] and follow up with a phone call to 786-395-0355 if a confirmation is not received within a few days of the requested change.

Our field trips are open to boys and girls ages 3 through 14 who may be interested in exploring the culinary arts.

A kitchen is not needed. We can setup in any classroom, cafeteria, etc.
