SUSHI MAKING TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITIES & WORKSHOPS

The Ultimate Interactive Ice-Breaker: Delivered to Your Office

A Level Playing Field for Everyone There is nothing quite like food to bring people together. Our sushi making team building workshops are designed to get your team away from their screens and engaging in a fun, relaxed environment. Because sushi making is a new skill for almost everyone, it levels the playing field - allowing interns and CEOs to connect, laugh, and learn side-by-side.

We Bring the Experience to You Whether you are based in London, Reading, or Oxford, we make logistics easy. We are a fully mobile sushi school, bringing the chef, fresh ingredients, music, and equipment directly to your office. You simply provide the tables - we handle the rest (and yes, we tidy up afterwards!).

Common Questions about our Team Building Workshops

1. How much space do we need in the office?

We need very little! We transform boardrooms, canteens, and clusters of desks into professional workstations daily. We simply require enough table space for everyone to stand at a chopping board and access to a sink/water source nearby. We handle the rest.

2. Is this suitable for beginners? (Will it be too hard?)

Absolutely. Our workshops are designed to "level the playing field." Since sushi making is a new skill for almost everyone (from interns to CEOs), it removes hierarchy and gets everyone learning together. Our chefs provide step-by-step guidance, so no prior cooking experience is needed.

 

3. How much does a team building workshop cost?

Pricing is bespoke based on your location and guest numbers. As a guide, our corporate packages typically range between £50 and £70 per person. This includes all ingredients, equipment, tuition, and a full sushi meal for every participant.

4. Can you accommodate dietary requirements?

Yes. Inclusivity is key for team morale. We offer full Vegan, Vegetarian, and Gluten-Free menus so no team member is left out. Please let us know of any specific allergies (e.g., shellfish/sesame) in advance.

5. What is the difference between the "Workshop" and the "Challenge"?

  • The Workshop: A collaborative, relaxed session focused on learning skills and eating together. Great for wellbeing.

  • The Sushi Challenge: A high-energy format where teams compete with "Mystery Boxes" to create the best platter. Great for sales teams and ice-breaking.

6. Do you travel to us?

Yes, we are a fully mobile sushi event provider. We bring the chef, ingredients, and equipment directly to your office or hired venue across London and the South East.

7. How long does the session last?

Our standard team building sessions run for 90 minutes to 2 hours, allowing time for the demo, the hands-on making, the "Challenge" judging (optional), and eating. We can adapt to shorter "Lunch & Learn" slots (60 mins) if required.

8. What happens to the sushi we make?

You eat it! At the end of the session, the team sits down to enjoy a substantial meal of their own creations. We also provide eco-friendly containers if anyone wants to take leftovers home.

9. Do you offer virtual workshops for remote teams?

Yes! If your team is hybrid or fully remote, we offer Virtual Sushi Classes. We send ingredient kits directly to your staff's homes and host the class live via Zoom/Teams.

10. How do we book?

Simply contact us with your preferred date, location, and approximate numbers. We require a deposit to secure the date, with the balance due before the event. We provide full invoices for company procurement.
