Corporate Hospitality

Leiths School of Food and Wine has a kitchen dedicated to private hire including corporate events. Events can be used as an opportunity to entertain clients, offer employees an enjoyable time away from the office and to get to know colleagues in the same firm.

Clients have a cookery lesson for about 1-1.5 hours. The session begins with wine (evenings) or coffee and pastries (mornings). The group is usually divided into teams of four and under the careful guidance of the Leiths chefs,  they prepare a three-course meal before sitting down to enjoy a relaxing lunch or dinner of their own making in the kitchen with a glass of wine.

We can arrange corporate cooking sessions during the week (both mornings and evenings) usually around 3 hours, starting at 9.45am or 6.30pm. The minimum number in a party is 8, the maximum is 16 during the day and 32 in the evening.

We are very happy to arrange alternative events such as cookery demonstrations, wine with food appreciation classes or a tutored beer tasting.

Prices quoted are for a 3-hour session – extra time is charged pro-rata. Email Viv Pidgeon to find out more or to book. A non-refundable deposit is charged. Bookings close 2 days before the event.

All ingredients, equipment and recipes are provided.

"We would just like to say, many thanks again for organising such a great team evening, we all really enjoyed it! It was good not only to have a nice meal but to do something as well - and something different. Both Helene and Cee (teachers) were absolutely fantastic hosts the on the night. I think that we can safely say that we will consider Leiths for future events and have already passed on the name to other members of other teams who are looking for something different for their team-builds."
