Corporate Cooking Classes & Team Building Events
At Food at 52 we work with companies big and small to host unforgettable corporate cooking classes, team building cookery events and client entertainment.

With a balance of hands on cooking and socialising, your corporate team will love the relaxed and fun atmosphere.

We offer sociable, interactive and fun cook and dine events in a relaxed environment.

- Our lounge is available to hire as a meeting space before your event.
- Book our optional drinks reception with canapés to welcome your guests before your event.

What to expect
After an optional prosecco reception, you can either enjoy a fun food quiz with prizes to accompany the class (for classes larger than 20), or get straight into cooking a banquet of dishes with free flowing wine, music and laughter throughout.
You’ll gather around our large oak table where, after putting on our comfortable denim aprons, your team can get stuck in preparing the dishes on the menu you have selected. Our expert tutors will give hands-on guidance throughout, sharing their top chef tips, skills and recipes.
All team building cooking classes can be designed to have a competitive element or be collaborative - it's your choice.
The finale of every corporate cooking class is a sit-down gourmet feast that your team has created, served with free-flowing wine and ending with tea and coffee.
Christmas Parties
Our Christmas cooking classes are a popular choice for exclusive corporate Christmas parties. A great alternative to the usual office Christmas party, your team will cook at least three courses and then sit down to eat the feast they have created together with free flowing wine throughout.
