Food@Work® is a people development business, focused on building high-performing teams, managers, leaders and organisations through experiential simulation. Our USP is our combination of world-class facilitation and coaching with a dynamic, powerful and engaging context - THE COMMERCIAL KITCHEN, FOOD & COOKING!

Restaurants, commercial kitchens and cooking provide an exceptional environment for assessing, analysing and reviewing people dynamics. It provides a wealth of opportunities that mirror real business challenges, and is highly conducive for developing essential business capabilities and relationships.

Another key focus area of our business is providing event solutions that build relationships between key stakeholders in business. The exciting medium of food and cooking for corporate entertainment, conferencing and business networking has proven an excellent method for business development.

All of our programmes are bespoke designed to suit client needs. We deliver in the following core areas:

Team Building & Bonding

The Gourmet Challenge team building and cooking programme uses the demanding and highly-energised environment of the commercial kitchen and cookery to show how co-operation and teamwork make for a more motivated, more efficient and high-performing team. more...

Leadership Development

The Restaurant Challenge is a business-focused experiential leadership development programme. Leadership competence is built through combining the real-life challenge of setting up a successful restaurant (from concept through to live opening night) with top level facilitation and executive coaching.more...

Management Development

Our experiential cookery programmes are integrated as a resident module within clients' own management development programmes, to build leadership and management performance capabilities through exciting simulation.more...

Graduate Assessment

Our experiential cooking format is used as a "showcase" medium through which to assess and develop graduate capabilities, in particular their leadership potential. Our clients successfully adopt this format for identifying suitable candidates for rapid advancement within the organisation.more...

CSR Events

All Food@Work programmes can contribute towards our clients' corporate social responsibility objectives. Events can have tangible social benefits in addition to delivering the required business benefit.

Our cooking formats are an excellent medium for networking, and attract high attendance at business networking events.more...

Client Entertainment

Entertaining in restaurants is a standard medium for client entertainment, but there is nothing quite like actually cooking the gourmet meal together with your client, to really establish the relationship and heighten the enjoyment of the meal! Our clients (who have entertained their own clients on our cooking programmes), have confirmed that once you have made soufflé together, you cannot go back to just "breaking bread".more...
