Extras to Create a Great Team Building Experience!
Looking to take your Social Cooking experience up a notch? Whether you’re hosting a corporate challenge, a Christmas celebration, or a client thank-you event, our event extras are designed to make your time with us even more fun, engaging, and delicious.
From cheese and charcuterie grazing boards to cocktail-making sessions, mezze platters, and indulgent desserts, these add-ons transform a good experience into a great team building event — one your group will be talking about long after the aprons come off.
🍇 Welcome Grazing & Mezze Boards – Start as You Mean to Go On
Set the tone for your event the moment your guests arrive. Our fresh, beautifully presented arrival grazing boards are the perfect ice-breaker — encouraging conversation, laughter, and connection before the cooking begins.
Each board is a stunning spread of artisanal cheeses, cured meats, crackers, nuts, and other tasty treats, designed to appeal to all tastes and create that wow moment as guests walk in.
To complement these, we’ve recently added our new Mezze Platters — a Mediterranean-inspired selection featuring house-made hummus, tzatziki, marinated feta, and all the essential mezze ingredients. Bursting with colour and flavour, these platters are perfect for sharing and create a relaxed, social atmosphere from the very start.
Both boards and platters are made to order with premium local ingredients and can be customised for all dietary needs — vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, you name it. It’s a warm, inclusive welcome that immediately says: this is no ordinary event.
🍸 Cocktail-Making Challenge – Shake, Stir, and Show Off
Add some sparkle (and a dash of friendly competition!) to your Social Cooking experience with our Cocktail-Making Challenge. Before the main event, your group will come together to create a delicious, refreshing cocktails, demonstrated expertly by our chef.
It’s the perfect ice-breaker — energetic, interactive, and a guaranteed hit for corporate groups. And don’t worry, we cater for everyone with mocktail options too.
This add-on pairs beautifully with our Banquet Challenge, creating a true celebration atmosphere where teamwork, creativity, and connection come together — everything you need for a great team building experience.
🍰 Decadent Dessert Upgrade – Sweet Finish, Big Smiles
Nothing ends a Social Cooking event quite like dessert — especially when it’s our house-made decadent chocolate brownie.
Dessert is included in all three-hour events, but you can now add it to your two-hour Street Kitchen Challenge for the perfect sweet finale. It’s rich, fudgy, and guaranteed to have everyone asking for the recipe.
Once again, we can cater for all dietary requirements. We have gluten, dairy or egg free and vegan options available.
🍷 Fully Licensed Bar – Raise a Glass to Great Teamwork
After cooking up a storm, relax and celebrate your achievements at our fully licensed bar. We’re proud to offer a full selection of wine, beer, spirits and cocktails, all served by our professional team in a stylish, social setting.
You can choose to run a bar tab, offer drinks pre-poured on arrival, or simply let your guests purchase their own beverages. Whatever you choose, it’s a seamless way to wind down and toast your team — the perfect ending to a great team building event.
