Team Building

Handshake icon for the corporate team building experience from Underground Cookery School

If you’re looking for totally unique company team building ideas, why not try one of our corporate cooking events? Based in the heart of The City Of London, we’re now in our twentieth year and corporate activity days are the perfect combination of teamwork, delicious food, and an exciting atmosphere.

The Event

Our team events are designed to help groups build strong bonds, develop better communication skills, and foster a sense of collaboration.

Whichever experience you choose, you’ll start off with Canapés and Prosecco, or a hearty breakfast if it’s still early. Our chefs will then guide you through a series of cooking challenges, preparing key parts to signature dishes. Along the way, you will learn new culinary skills, gain confidence in the kitchen, and discover the power of teamwork.

After preparing key elements to dishes under the instruction of our chefs, and enjoying a drink in the process, the group sits down to enjoy the meal they have just helped to create. All dietary requirements are catered for, the atmosphere is very relaxed and the emphasis is on having fun.

FAQS

Do you have an example timetable?

Below is a typical timetable for one of our team building days, to give you an idea of how your party could run in the morning or evening:

11:20/17:50: Team changes into aprons provided, and is taken through an introduction, and health and safety brief

11:30/18:00: Group works through menu in kitchen under our supervision

13:30/20:00: Cooking session ends and the group is seated

13:45/20:15: Three course meal is served

15:00/21:30: Event ends

Note: the 2-course fresh pasta making menu is 1 hour in length and based on the above start times, the event would finish at 14:00 or 20:30.

What are your booking terms and conditions?

Should you choose to book, you’d be sent an invoice for the full amount, which is payable at least 4 weeks in advance of the event. We would require a 30% deposit for any event booked more than four weeks in advance. All payment portal settlements are subject to a 2% booking fee; there is no booking fee for bacs payments.

Once final payment is received we are unable to offer a refund under any circumstances, unless it is for individual places, in which case we require at least 72 hours notice before the date of the party, and subject to our minimum booking as above; numbers can be added up to 24 hours prior to your event. 

Please note the date of a booking is not transferable.

Do you offer other corporate team events?

We have a number of different options for corporate clients.

Alongside our standard team building days, we offer a Cookery Challenge where participants have to head out to market traders and retailers to collect the ingredients for their dish, which adds an additional layer of team building to the day.

The kitchens can also be hired for meetings, or you can hire the entire kitchen for photo shoots, product launches, or much more.
