Yes Chef!

Make your next event unforgettable, be it a team building event, work function, birthday celebration or 'just because'. Expect to be challenged, inspired, provoked and maybe do things you’ve never done before … don't be afraid and no prior experience needed!

If you are interested in attending a Learner's Challenge evening or a Single's Night evening, please register your interest here and we will let you know when our next event is happening.

Spice Up Your Palate

Excite your palate and challenge your team to a unique evening exploring the flavours of Mexican American cooking and learning some techniques to cook Mexican-style food at home.

The challenge for each team is to identify ingredients in a mystery meal and each ingredient the team guesses correctly will be available to use to create their own masterpiece.  The team with the most correctly identified ingredients will win an advantage in the second part of the challenge where teams will face an invention test using only the ingredients they guessed correctly and a few extra staples.  Along the way, there will be twists and surprises as well as a short class on making handmade tortillas and flatbreads. 

Welcome drinks served on arrival and at the end, we’ll all sit down for a family style feast to try everyone’s creations.  
  • 3 hour duration
  • Teams of 2-4 people (Venue 1: 4-12 people, Venue 2: 13-120 people)

Mystery Box

This challenge is about suspense, fun, working together and a give-it-a-go attitude. 

We draw names for your team and you decide on your team name. Once all the teams are assigned to their ‘stations’ it’s time to open your mystery box of ingredients. (All mystery boxes have the same ingredients in them.)

You are given 10 minutes to plan your two course menu (main and dessert), and to assign the tasks. Then it’s time for a cook-off! Within the next 50 minutes you need to have worked as a team, to create a sumptuous (and edible!) meal.

The Chef and Maitre D’ will be there to support and encourage, comment and assess your abilities on a number of levels. These being (and not limited to) food knowledge, presentation, participation, and team work.

Once your masterpiece is complete all teams will be presented with their final scores. Now it’s time to relax and enjoy your culinary endeavours.
  • 2 hour duration
  • Teams of 2-4 people (Venue 1: 4-12 people, Venue 2: 13-120 people)

Le Grande Gastronomie

A briefing with Workplace Wellbeing will be the initial step. Teams are created and told what will be expected of them. 

Each team will be asked to cook a two course meal (main and dessert) and the nationality of which, will come as a surprise.  What will it be … Indian? Japanese? Italian? Mexican? French?  
Teams then delegate roles a) the foragers and chefs (those who race to the shops to get gather the ingredients and cook the meals), and b) the designers and decorators (those who set the ambience for the dinner with table settings and they also get to dress the team in matching national costumes!). Budgets will then be distributed and the siren will be sounded, time to move!

When all is complete, teams come together for the final judging and the food is all placed on a buffet to share with other teams. 
  • 2.5 - 3 hour duration
  • Teams of 2-6 people (Venue 2: up to 120 people)
