FESTIVE TEAM BUILDING
CORPORATE TEAM BUILDING
If you are looking for a meaningful way to bring your team or clients together, why not swap the boardroom for the kitchen? Just 18 minutes from Edinburgh Waverly, the Yarrow Cookery School offers a relaxed and rewarding approach to team building in a stunning coastal setting.
​
Perfect for team away days, client events or simply a break from the usual routine, our cookery sessions give your team the chance to reconnect in a genuinely enjoyable way. There are no awkward games or forced activities. Just great food, shared purpose and the chance to spend time together.

Why Choose Yarrow for Your Team Event

Our cookery school is designed to make people feel welcome and at ease. It is a space where teams can switch off from work pressures and enjoy doing something creative together. Cooking is naturally collaborative. It encourages conversation, cooperation and plenty of laughter along the way.

What to Expect on the Day
​
You will start with tea, coffee and light refreshments, followed by a guided cooking session led by Richard and Sophia. Using fresh, seasonal ingredients from local East Lothian producers, your team will prepare a delicious meal together. ​
​
No experience is needed, everything is hands on and creative. Once the cooking is complete, guests can together and enjoy the meal you have made together and even order a drink or two from the bar. It is a great way to get to know each other properly with relaxed conversation and a shared sense of achievement. Our experiences are great for:
​
-
Corporate away days and strategy sessions
-
Team bonding or onboarding new colleagues
-
Client entertainment in a more informal setting
-
Celebrations and end of year get togethers
