This was the second time that we have used the Food at 52 team for our corporate event and they have absolutely excelled on our expectations both times. The classes have struck the perfect balance between being fun, informative and delicious!

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.
