First, check where you plan to eat the kano pastries, then choose a pack based on the number of people and the portion size you want. A pack of five or six large pastries is easy to plan for a small group; mini pastries give you more individual pieces to share. Under Pathé’s house rules, you can’t bring in food from outside, so a supermarket pack isn’t a suitable snack for the auditorium.
If everyone wants a large kano pastry, compare the stated number of pieces or portions with the size of your group. Albert Heijn lists six portions for its AH butter kano pastries, while Jumbo lists five for its butter version. Jumbo also listed a pack of seven Aviateur kano pastries, but it is no longer available online there.
If having individual small biscuits matters more than giving everyone one large kano pastry, a mini size is worth comparing. ALDI lists 14 pieces for Heerlijck Banket Mini kano pastries and marks the product as available while stocks last; check your local store’s stock before counting on it.
Check the cinema’s rules before you buy: Pathé doesn’t allow food or drink from outside. If you have allergies, also read the label on the pack you choose, as ingredients and allergens vary between versions.
First, check whether you’re allowed to eat the kano pastries at your chosen venue. For a movie night at home, compare the number of large or mini pastries, not just the pack weight.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Number of people | Compare the stated number of large kano pastries or portions with the number of people who’ll be eating. | If everyone wants one large pastry, the number of pieces matters more than the weight alone. Around 42% of consumers prioritise this way of portioning for a small group. |
| Smaller portions to share | Check whether the pack contains mini kano pastries and how many individual pieces it includes; if it’s marked as available while stocks last, check store availability. | For a lunchbox or a group that prefers to share small biscuits, one large pastry per person may not be the right size. Around 25% of consumers prioritise having smaller portions. |
| Where you’ll eat and allergens | Check the cinema’s house rules and read the current label for the version you’ve chosen. | If you want to eat in a cinema auditorium or need to account for allergies, you’ll first need to know what’s allowed at the venue and suitable for everyone eating. Around 33% of consumers give this check top priority. |
Pathé’s rules don’t allow food or drink from outside. So a supermarket pack bought specifically to eat in the auditorium isn’t suitable for a visit to Pathé.
Check your cinema’s rules before you buy. Otherwise, choose a pack for home or somewhere that allows you to bring your own food.
Similar pack weights don’t tell you how many individual large or mini kano pastries you can share out. Albert Heijn lists six portions for 270 g, while Jumbo lists five portions for 275 g.
Count the people first, then compare the number of pieces or portions on the pack.
Ingredients and allergens can vary between different kano pastry versions. A name such as butter kano pastries doesn’t tell someone with an allergy everything they need to know.
Read the current label on the exact pack you’re buying, including any statements about traces.
ALDI marks its mini kano pastries as available while stocks last. Albert Heijn lists AH BASIC Kano pastries as discontinued, and Jumbo says its pack of seven Aviateur kano pastries is no longer available online.
Check availability before shopping for a group, and have another suitable size in mind as a back-up.
AH butter kano pastries come in a 270 g pack with six stated portions.
Jumbo Butter Kano pastries are listed as a 275 g tray with five portions.
PLUS lists its own 275 g butter kano pastry version, as well as a 230 g pack of five Aviateur Kano pastries.
ALDI lists 330 g Kano pastries and a 308 g pack of Mini Kano pastries containing 14 pieces.
PLUS lists Aviateur Kano pastries in a pack of five weighing 230 g.
No. Under Pathé’s house rules, you can’t bring in food or drink from outside. If you want to eat kano pastries during a visit to another cinema, check its rules beforehand.
Start with the number of people eating and the portion size you want to serve. If everyone’s having one large pastry, you could compare the five stated portions in Jumbo Butter Kano pastries with the six portions in AH butter kano pastries; the weight alone won’t tell you how many portions there are.
Read the ingredients, allergens and any trace statements on the label of the pack you’re buying. Ingredients vary between versions, so don’t rely on the product name alone or on information from a pack you bought previously.
