At our corporate functions we strive to ensure that every occasion is tailor-made to suit the client's needs.

The format takes the following form of hands on cooking or demonstration: The groups are made up of a minimum of 14 people, and a maximum of 28 (numbers can be stretched for Weber to 32 pax). The guests arrive Monday to Friday for lunch or Monday to Thursday for dinner functions at an allotted time for a drink and then the class commences. The cooking is complete in about 2 hours and then the participants sit down to eat what they have prepared. They are inevitably amazed by their success - and a wonderful time is had by all. We plan for the completion of your event in 4¼ hours.

The cost is R525.00 ex VAT per person.

A bar of your choice can be supplied on a cost plus 10% basis. If spirits are required, bottles are supplied, and the balance returned to the client, You are also free to provide your own bar.

The guests are divided into groups (usually 4) and each group prepares a different dish or if the dish is simple, 2 dishes. The ingredients are all measured and set out on trays prior to the class. Recipes for all the dishes are given to each member of the group. As each group prepares a different dish, we encourage the teams to be slightly competitive. Once the cooking session is complete everyone sits down to enjoy the "fruits of their labour".

Again, the menu is designed for each function. We have a choice of dozens of recipes for each course. However, we have found that the following themes are very popular:
