Corporate Days Out

For something a bit different: a hands-on fire cooking experience for the team.

Sharing our Philosophy of Fire

For as long as there have been humans, we have gathered round fires to cook. Our food is a cut above caveman fare, but our elevated classics still hold the memory of community, comfort, and stories.

We can’t think of a better way to get out of the office and have some fun with your team than learning how to cook a delicious fire-cooked lunch, from building the fire and receiving a masterclass from our own butcher to watching as the fire gently crisps your asparagus. You will enjoy your meal with our local whisky, Glenkinchie, before rounding off the day with a tour of the distillery itself.

We take inspiration from the contemporary Nordic approach of incorporating fire into every stage of cooking. We also know a lot about American barbecue and Argentinian asado, which we’d love to share with you, using local and seasonal produce.
