Bring your team together and let The Cooking Academy create a fun yet friendly competitive cookery team building event. Hertfordshire is the home of The Cooking Academy and we have several venues near to Hemel Hempstead and throughout Hertfordshire for groups of 8 right through to 80 delegates at our Dunstable Cookery teambuilding location.
All our events are led by our highly experienced chefs. Our cooking challenges pitch teams against each other to cook the best 3-course meal of the day whilst learning to cook a new cuisine and practising their organisation, teamwork, and leadership skills!
- Inspire and stimulate your employees with a fun and educational team-building cooking event in the Hemel Hempstead area
- Choose from a wide variety of cuisines at one of our many locations around Hertfordshire.
- Hands-on cookery lesson or add a competitive edge with a “Ready, Steady, Cook” or “Great British Bake Off” event where the winning team receives a prize
The language of food crosses many barriers and offers a level playing-field for those involved which breaks down barriers between colleagues from all levels of your organisation, everyone is relaxed, has fun and gets to enjoy the fruits of their labour at the end of the challenge.
A cookery team building event lasts for approximately 2-3 hours or longer with additional cookery and food related activities and ice-breakers. The timings of your event are flexible and can take place during the day or the evening. Read on below for a typical itinerary and menu choice.
Our previous clients include Boston Scientific, Axis, Amazon, Tesco, BAM Construction, GSK, Roche, Sanofi, AstraZeneca and many more.
