| Play gym for kids at The Sandwich Factory on Palm Grove |
Amusing young
children can be tough work. For parents who’ve been mulling over how to get in
quality time with the family while out - The Sandwich Factory announces the
first ever ‘Playtime’ on 17 February at the new TSF outlet on Palm Grove,
Colpetty.
Determinedly
deviating from standard practice, The Sandwich Factory hopes to provide quality
interactive playtime between parents and children. “The idea for this event
came from talking to parents who visit the restaurant,” says Hisham Cader, CEO
and Managing Director of The Sandwich Factory (TSF). “A lot of them felt that
while play areas are great, they don't always give parents the opportunity to
spend quality time with their kids. This is why our event is not just Playtime
for kids, it's Playtime for kids together with their parents.”
The event is
scheduled to take place from 5-8 pm on Wednesday, 17 February. A host of fun
activities will give kids and their parents the chance to make their own
sandwiches and jigsaw puzzles, and the kids will even be able to take the
fruits of their efforts home with them. There will also be a “Pet of the Day”
segment, which will introduce kids to an animal that they can learn more about
in a hands-on manner. Face painters will be at hand to add to the excitement
and the kids can amuse themselves silly at both the indoor and outdoor play
areas.

TSF’s
photographer will cover the event and share pictures with parents so mums and
dads are free to put away their phones and enjoy the moment. A hearty meal of
Mac ‘n’ Cheese, with Veggies or Grilled Chicken with Veggies as well as a
Tropicana juice will be included in the Rs. 750 entrance fee for kids.
The Sandwich
Factory was opened in 2006 by Hisham Cader, and is driven purely by a love for
old school diners and good food. The restaurant’s menu operates on the simple
premise of delicious, wholesome food that has value for money (the TSF team is
also currently in the process of developing a more extensive kids’ menu).
TSF’s popularity
is fuelled by its quirky interiors inspired by all that is vintage-here you’ll
find a classic checkerboard-tiled floor, plenty of vinyl and Monroe. The new
TSF restaurant on Palm Grove was designed with families in mind. The
air-conditioned indoor play area is well suited for toddlers, with padded floors
and toys for their amusement. A spacious outdoor garden features a large play
gym where children aged 3 to 10 years can expend any extra energy while parents
dine on the patio overlooking the garden. The space is perfect for children’s
parties for which TSF offers special packages.
The team hopes to
make the Playtime event a regular fixture, with the freedom of space that the
new venue provides. TSF will also launch a movie
night starting from end February. Log into www.facebook.com/TheSandwichFactory
