Not so, if your best guys and gals are able to engage in a hands-on activity such as cooking, while enjoying a few drinks. Any tension melts away and by the time you start eating, the noise and laughter will be cacophonous! Cooking It is based just a five-minute drive from the centre of Bristol on Chandos Road (often known as Foodie Street) with plenty of parking around the kitchen. It’s also mere minutes walk from Whiteladies Road and Gloucester Road where you can carry on the party afterwards. You’re welcome to bring your own drinks as a prelude to your cookery session where, with a glass of wine in hand, you’ll work through a menu designed to embrace any dietary requirements. With music in the background and under the guidance of the chef, you prepare the whole dish, dishes, feast or afternoon tea. An atmosphere of relaxed laughter and fun is assured. A variety of cook-off activities with varying prices, times and challenges are available, and most group sizes are accommodated.
