CORPORATE TEAM BUILDING

Cook, Connect and Collaborate at Yarrow Cookery School in East Lothian

 

If you are looking for a meaningful way to bring your team together, why not swap the boardroom for the kitchen? Just 40 minutes from Edinburgh, Yarrow Cookery School offers a relaxed and rewarding approach to corporate team building, right in the heart of East Lothian.

​

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 setting. There are no awkward games or forced activities. Just great food, shared purpose and the chance to spend time together in a completely different way.

Why Choose Yarrow for Your Team Event

​

Whether you are welcoming new starters, celebrating a milestone or just want to say thank you to your team, this is an experience that will leave people feeling energised, appreciated and more connected.

What to Expect on the Day

​

You will start with tea, coffee and light refreshments, followed by a guided cooking session led by one of our friendly tutors. Using fresh, seasonal ingredients from local East Lothian producers, your team will prepare a delicious two course meal in small groups or pairs.

​

No experience is needed and everything is hands on. Once the cooking is complete, you will sit down together and enjoy the meal you have created. It is a great way to wrap up the experience with some relaxed conversation and a shared sense of achievement.

​

  • 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
