Team building events

Our Batch for Good team building events are a great way to have fun in the kitchen while giving something back to the community. For groups of up to 20 people, we’ll lead a sociable session where you can batch cook food for the community alongside your colleagues or friends – with a delicious shared meal at the end to celebrate!

Sessions typically last 2.5–3 hours and you’ll create 50–100 meals to be distributed to those experiencing food insecurity in South Bristol.
