PRIVATE EVENTS & TEAM BUILDING
Schedule an event at our Berkeley Kitchen location.
Make your next corporate team-building event or social celebration truly unforgettable with a private, hands-on cooking experience.
Whether you’re hosting a client appreciation event, celebrating your team’s success, planning a birthday, or gathering for a family reunion, we create an interactive culinary experience that brings people together in a fun and memorable way.
Looking to strengthen your team? Our team-building experiences encourage collaboration, communication, and connection as colleagues cook together, learn new skills, and enjoy a shared meal they created themselves.
Planning a rehearsal dinner? Bring your families together in a relaxed, joyful setting where everyone can cook, laugh, and connect before the big day, creating memories that last well beyond the celebration.
Led by professional chefs, our experiences are designed for all skill levels. Whether you’re a first-time cook or a confident home chef, you’ll feel engaged, supported, and part of something special from start to finish.
Book your event today and give your group something to talk about long after the last bite.
About Our Events:
Year-Round Event Styles:
- Sit-Down Meal (up to 26 guests): Intimate celebrations and small corporate gatherings. Cook together, then enjoy your feast.
- Small Plates Meal (up to 40 guests): Larger celebrations, holiday parties, large team events and networking events with a social mingling atmosphere. Guests enjoy food throughout the event rather than a single seated dining experience.
- Battling Chef Competition (12 to 24 guests): A friendly culinary competition designed for team challenges or celebratory groups. Guests are divided into teams and guided through an exciting hands-on cooking experience that sparks creativity, collaboration, and a touch of competitive spirit. The experience culminates in a sit-down meal, where guests relax and enjoy the dishes created during the challenge.
