Team Building

Our team building cookery events are a ‘tried and tested’ way for professionals to strengthen their working relationships. The process is natural and unforced. Senior managers make fresh pasta with junior members of the team and departmental divides are crossed with conversations about making the perfect risotto. At Venturi’s Table, we don’t need to impose team building… it just happens.

In offering corporate team building events designed around hands-on cookery and delicious food we also use an approach which is both inclusive and universally appealing. Professionals may arrive dreading what their boss has arranged but they leave our corporate cookery centre smiling.

Sharon, Kimberly-Clark:

“Just to let you know that the group was THRILLED with the event you put on. Everyone said in all their years of attending teambuilding events this was BY FAR THE BEST THING THEY HAVE EVER BEEN PART OF for team bonding. When grading the various parts of the week on a grade of 1 to 5 they all gave your event a 5 +!”

How it works

The emphasis is on fun, relaxation and enjoyment. Rather than mindless amounts of chopping or arm-straining mixing, participants are invited to ‘sip and stir,’ enjoying fine wines as they cook in a state-of-the-art kitchen. At the end of their session, hungry, fully relaxed teams sit down together and are served the gourmet food they have created themselves.

Nothing is prepared in advance in order that the pleasure of the cooking process is fully experienced. Different levels of culinary skill are accounted for, with seasoned cooks exposed to trade secrets and beginners able to get stuck in to well structured recipes. A team of chefs and waiting staff are also provided for each client to ensure the creation of the meal is both enjoyable and effortless.

Team event timings

Cookery team building events are four hours long and timings can be designed to suit each client. Morning and evening slots are the most popular, allowing teams to work towards an hour long lunchtime or evening meal.

A bespoke, business approach

The approach of Anna, Letizia and their team is always flexible, to fit in with the participants’ needs. Menus are designed individually for each group or team, bearing in mind food sensitivities and a competitive edge can even be added for an adrenalin-driven team. See our ‘Cookery Challenges’ options.

Meeting spaces are available, (subject to availability), and we can provide basic presentation equipment.
