AD - Invited
Recently my little boy turned four and as part of his birthday celebrations, we headed to our local Stonehouse Pizza & Carvery pub - The Astley Arms, in Seaton Sluice. Stonehouse Pizza & Carvery have recently launched Pizza Parties which are the perfect way to celebrate a child's birthday as it is something a bit different and lots of fun. We were asked if we would like to go along and try them out - perfect timing.
As a family, we often visit The Astley Arms for a carvery as it is a lovely pub opposite Seaton Sluice beach and play park.
Pizza Party
The Pizza Party is a chance for children to become little pizza chefs for the day, they get to decorate their own pizza to eat and have some pizza related fun. Parties last around an hour and a half and you will have a party host who will keep everything running smoothly and they even provide goody bags and balloons at the end.
The parties are in partnership with Ribena Minis so each child gets a Ribena Mini to drink on arrival.
What is included?
- Invitations - you can either collect from the venue or print at home
- Disposable aprons
- Mini chef hats
- Mini kids Margherita pizza base plus two toppings of their choice to decorate
- Bottomless ice cream or orange segments for dessert
- Ribena mini blackcurrant drink
- Stonehouse Pizza Party activity sheet
- Balloon and goody bag to take home
Parties last for around one and a half hours and cost only £6.99 per child, you need a minimum of five guests and a maximum of twelve. They are recommended for children aged 4-10 years of age and are available to book Monday to Saturdays.
What we thought
On arrival at Stonehouse Pizza and Carvery The Astley Arms we were warmly greeted and showing to the party area which was all set up for the party. There were little chef hats and aprons on the table. The staff who were running the party were so lovely and amazing with the children, they really made them feel welcome. We had five guests at the party, my own children and my nieces and they all had such a brilliant time.
The children got to create their own pizza with two toppings of their choice. Once the pizzas were cooked the children got to enjoy their creations with a side of chips and they could also help themselves to some salad from the salad bar too.
The children were also entertained with some pizza activities such as watching the chef make proper pizzas and tossing their own pizza dough and colouring in a pizza-themed activity sheet. As well as filling their tummies with yummy pizza, chips and salad they also got to create their own ice cream from the ice cream machine.
It was a really lovely party and I think the fact it was something fun and a bit different really appealed to them and us parents.
At the end of the party, the children all received a goody bag and a balloon. As a parent I really liked this party, we simply turned up on the day and had no food or goody bags to prepare as they were all provided. I also think for just £6.99 per child it is amazing value for a child's party. Every child really enjoyed themselves too.
If you are looking at booking a party for your own child's birthday then I really do recommend a Stonehouse Pizza Party, it was fun, it was different, everything was taking care of and it was amazing value.
