Corporate Team Building with Emerge Cookery School
Bring your team together through food with a corporate cooking experience designed to inspire connection, collaboration and creativity.
Looking for a team building activity that's engaging, rewarding and a little different? Our corporate cookery classes offer a fun, interactive way for colleagues to step away from their desks, learn something new and enjoy great food together.
Guided by our experienced chefs, your group will prepare a delicious meal from scratch before gathering around the table to enjoy the results. Every session is designed around our zero food waste ethos, and through our partnership with Plan Zheroes, your event can also help support people experiencing food poverty across London.
Whether you're organising a company away day, celebrating a milestone or planning a wellbeing-focused social, we'll create an experience that's relaxed, memorable and tailored to your team.

What makes a great corporate cooking team building activity?
The most memorable team building events don't rely on competition or awkward icebreakers. They bring people together around a shared goal, where everyone has something to contribute and success depends on working together.
That's exactly why cooking works so well.
Collaborative and inclusive experiences
From rolling sushi and folding dim sum to spice-blending for authentic Indian or Mexican dishes, our expert-led classes get everyone involved, no matter their cooking ability.
Everyone has a role to play
From preparing fresh ingredients and mastering new techniques to plating the finished dishes, every member of the team contributes to the final meal. Whether someone cooks every day or has barely picked up a knife, they'll feel involved from the moment they put on an apron.
Collaboration happens naturally
A successful dish relies on good timing, clear communication and people supporting one another. Without even thinking about it, your team will be planning, solving problems and celebrating small wins together, all while creating something delicious.
The reward is worth sharing
Once everything is ready, the kitchen becomes the dining table. Sharing the meal you've cooked together is often where the best conversations happen, giving everyone time to relax, reflect and enjoy what they've achieved as a team.
Why choose Emerge for your corporate event?
A refreshing alternative to traditional team building activity
Instead of escape rooms or another evening at the pub, give your team an experience they'll genuinely enjoy. They'll leave with practical cooking skills, new memories and stronger connections with their colleagues.
A welcoming London venue
Our newly refurbished cookery school in Camberwell provides a modern space for groups of up to 24 people and is easily accessible from central London.
If you'd rather host your event elsewhere, our mobile cookery school can bring the experience directly to your workplace or chosen venue.
Designed around your team
From two-hour taster sessions to half-day workshops and bespoke private dining experiences, we'll work with you to create an event that suits your objectives, schedule and budget.
You can also add welcome drinks, mocktails, canapés or a personalised menu to make the occasion even more special.
We take care of the details
We provide all equipment, ingredients, aprons, and expert guidance. You just bring your team, we’ll take care of the rest.
Corporate team building with a CSR focus
Food has the power to bring people together, and it can also make a real difference.
Our Feed the Homeless CSR Package allows your team to prepare additional portions during the class, which are then redistributed through our charity partner, Plan Zheroes, to help people experiencing homelessness and food insecurity across London.
Each person also receives a Plan Zheroes cookbook to take home.
That’s something worth raising a glass to. The additional £15 per person + VAT also means a £5 donation, per person, can be directly donated to PlanZeroes to help them continue their work for local communities.
* Please note that this CSR package is not currently available for sushi classes.
