For slightly bigger groups, as one team cooks the course for the whole group, the other teams will take part in a Team Taste Challenge. Our entertaining Team Taste challenge includes a fun quiz, spice identification, egg white sprint and food Pictionary. This adds a fun, dinner party atmosphere to your event – perfect for your celebrations!

The whole team really enjoyed themselves and were very excited when they realised it would involve cooking. We were given a warm welcome and the class of wine at the beginning of the session was much appreciated and helped everyone relax with each other. The Chef explained everything to us really well and we all took it in turns doing things and learning new skills. Cooking each course then sitting down with it (washed down with more wine), worked really well. The staff at all times were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Everyone was really buzzing at the end of our session and I really feel it has had a positive impact on us as a team
The event went off very well. Fun was had by all. The day was really well run by our host and the chefs. I also thought it was great how the veggies were accommodated for at each of the sections, even when the main ingredient was meat or fish. The venue was easy to find and our bus was able to park outside for the whole afternoon, which was great because we finished slightly earlier. And the cherry on top of the cake was my team won!! Thanks for all your efforts and the team at Team Tactics.
We had an excellent lunchtime ‘cook off’ session – our welcome was warm and relaxed, our chef was focussed but fun and we definitely both learnt some new skills and came away feeling inspired to do more cooking at home. It was a perfect event for our team and I would certainly recommend the experience to others.
It was a really good evening – I’ve had lots of positive feedback from people who came along. Everything ran smoothly, needs were catered for and the event was really enjoyable. Thanks!
Thank you for an excellent team event, we all had an excellent time and the team spirit was high! A special thank you to the professional chefs, they were great! I will definitely use team tactics again for our next event.
The chefs were fantastic and the other staff were really helpful as well. A number of people commented on learning new skills and everyone had a really good time. Thank you for a great evening
Excellent event. Second event with Team Tactics and a great success every time. Will come back time and time again.
The event very much exceeded our expectations. I was pleased that it had less structure than I anticipated, which meant that people were able to mingle and socialise which was really our top priority. I thought the Chefs did a very good job, not only of handling the crowd but encouraging participation and competition. Overall it was a brilliant night, and everybody was very pleased to have attended.
Cooking went very well thank you. Very good fun and we did not poison each other! Tina was great – high levels of service and support.
A big 'THANK YOU' to Keighley Tina, Hellen and the rest of the team for putting on a wonderful evening for us – we were extremely well looked after throughout the process, nor was anything too much trouble on the day!
Thank you again Team Tactics!
Every member of the team really enjoyed it and it was a great way to socialise and build the team. The venue was excellent (clean, bright and spacious) and I would definitely recommend it to colleagues and friends.
I asked each participant what they thought of the cooking event and every single person said it was fantastic fun and that they would do it again
Its always difficult trying to pick an event that everyone is going to like particularly when it’s a little outside of their comfort zone, it’s the reason I picked it in truth. Getting people to express themselves in a learning environment is always a good exercise, and as I say this event worked a treat.
The host “Greg” was helpful and made us feel at home.
The chef was very good and helped us improve our cooking skills.
The facilities were adequate, clean tidy and everything we needed.
This event was a huge success and thoroughly enjoyed by all.
One aim was for our employees to mix with colleagues they wouldn't normally have much contact with and this was certainly achieved during the corporate cook off, which had a practical as well as a social aspect.
The evening was a great success and everyone really enjoyed it. Your crew were very friendly and made everyone feel very comfortable.
The food was superb and cooked surprisingly well! If you could send through to me the recipes I'll forward on the rest of my party as I for one would like to recreate the meal at home.
I will definitely be in touch when we are next planning another team get together.
Our Excom thoroughly enjoyed their evening! More specifically the availability of staff, the chef’s charisma and of course the food they prepared throughout the evening.
We had a really good time cooking the street food. Everybody participated, people were getting really competitive, trying to get as many gold stars as possible reaching a high when we did the pancake flipping contest. It was just a bit crowded around the cooking stations maybe but that made it also very cosy and a bonding experience. The group really started to mingle.
We had a great time, thank you – I'm busy recommending you to colleagues!
This was a great success and a well- chosen option. VERY well done !!!
It was fun and above all that was the key element.
John and his team were great hosts and the whole thing relaxed and “unthreatening” and as well as fun we learnt much and practiced some new skills.
The outcomes were very tasty and EVERYONE was effusive of a great day.
Thank you for the great hospitality. They chefs and everyone on the day were brilliant. Team loved it.
The event was extremely well received by all my staff, even those who don’t like “Team Building” as a rule. The teams were well split and the cooking / wine tasting was really well organised and ran smoothly through the evening. The prizes given were also really good and most were pleased to receive something other than a bottle of fizz.
The staff at the venue were attentive and extremely accommodating, I think we drank more than they anticipated and we didn’t leave until gone 9pm. All the chefs were lovely and extremely patient.
Would highly recommend to anyone for an event, and as always thanks to Team Tactics and Melissa for a wonderful event, I am looking forward to Christmas.
Last night was awesome ! thank you so much for finding us the venue, I can definitely recommend them. Everyone enjoyed it and participated.
The venue were very organised and the evening flowed, the kitchen staff were amazing and very patient, instructions were clear. We even had a Christmas hat each as well as apron’s.
Thank you so much for everything! You have been great to work with and will definitely be putting you forward if anymore similar like this come up.
The team had a fantastic time last night. Thanks so much for your help in getting this arranged at such short notice.
It was a perfect evening. The team there were excellent and kept us entertained. And the food was fab.
Everyone truly enjoyed themselves, they learned something new, the food was delicious and people got to know each other a little better. I would recommend Team Tactics highly – they were efficient, friendly and helpful.
We all had a lovely day and everyone there was very friendly.
Making the day very enjoyable!
Will definitely use team tactics again 🙂
Thanks a lot for the awesome team event Corporate Cooking on April 25th. It was a huge hit and so much fun! Really appreciated!
The event was absolutely amazing you have great staff who kept the energy up, the Chefs were so much fun and made the experience so much better.
The venue was ideal and the we loved the menu. There was so much positive feedback from the entire team – everyone loved it.
We wanted a very relaxed and fun environment for the team and that’s exactly what we got. The timings were fine and it didn’t feel like anything was taking too long we had just the right amount of time.
Thank you so much – we will definitely use your services again there’s a couple of activities I have my eye on for later next year.
Last night was a huge success, thank you.
Everyone is buzzing and talking about it this morning! In fact, we were receiving emails late last evening on how much the guys enjoyed it.
We had a lovely time, the chef was great and food was delicious.
It was a really excellent team building exercise, we all had a lot of fun and cooked some really tasty food. Thanks again for the brilliant organisation. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.
