Team Building

Corporate Evenings: The evening is a once off cooking class booked by one group. Participants cook a meal and then sit down to eat and enjoy what they have made.

Cooking evenings: These are fun, purely hands-on, cookery evenings, where each participant cooks a 2 course meal – then sits down to enjoy it.

We have 3 formats:

1. “cook your own plate” Participants cook in pairs- they prepare their own plate of food. (no buffet table) – most suitable for groups where certain paticipants have strick dietry requirements.

OR

2. “buffet Style” Teams of 3-5 cook different dishes which form a meal- these are put onto a buffet table for everyone to help themselves.

OR

3. “Competition Style” Teams of 3-5 cook and main course and dessert from a mystery basket. Each team has a Silwood junior chef to help them. The teams are judged by the head chef to find the winning team.  The food is placed on a buffet table for everyone to taste each others.
