Strawberry’s and cream school summer fair

[damppatchnot]

How much should I sell for ? £3 too much ? X

Sounds ok I think

You’re going to sell the school for £3?

Depends greatly on the school. I don't think you'd sell much at that here - it would be £9 for me and both kids. Cakes are 50p to £1.

I think I would go for £2

Portion size being a paper bowl and, like, 8 strawberries? Seems quite steep. Family of four: £12. Might not be much left over to spend on the tombola.

I think they would be lovely though.

I think £2 would be ok at our school.

I wouldn't normally point this out, but since it will be at a school, please spell it strawberries and cream!

Also yes, we need way more context. Type of school / area, size of portion.

Cakes and tuck are always 50p - £1 at our school. I reckon £2 tops but I’m sure it depends from school to school.

DD's school is a village primary with a mix of parents. I'd say £2 a bowl, although it would still struggle against £3 for a BBQ burger or sausage in roll, 80p - £1/ice cream, cakes 25p - £1.

Squirty cream? 3 or 4 strawberries in a bowl? I wouldn't pay 3 quid for that. Maybe include a shortbread for that money? Ice creams sell for about £2 and they are a lot more to eat if you see what I mean.

£2 maximum. It's £2.50 for strawberries and cream at Wimbledon.

Ha ha strawberries (rushing about)
Affluent area
PTA make 5k at summer fair.

I’d go £1.00. Were in an affluent area, pizza and chips £1.50 at school fayre.

Real cream or squirty shite?

How much is each portion costing to produce, including the bowl/cup and spoon?

Our school make about 7k at the summer fete. Cakes cost £1 for 3, I would imagine strawberries and cream to be £1.50 max.

I'd say £2 would sit about right

I came to say what EskewedBeef said. If it is only £2.50 at Wimbledon, you can't charge more, unless you are offering a generous punnetful. I doubt I would pay more than £1.50.

I think I will leave
By the time I have bought the strawberries, cream, dishes and spoons, there would be no profit at 1.50 a portion !

Sorry I wouldn't pay even pay £1.50 for cream and strawberries nm £3 and I've organised alot of fundraisers. You would be better with creamed scones and tea.

Our school sold a paper cup of strawberries -about 4 or 5 cut up - with cream poured over for £2. Not particularly affluent area. The PTFA PYO’ed the strawberries.

Work out the cost per portion, then double it and round up to nearest 50p to get your selling price. That's what we do with all our food/drink at pta events. Reasonable value, hardly any wastage, worthwhile profit.

Smaller portions.
