How does it work?

On the day we will come to the venue of your choice or one of our partner venues and set up the Team Bake Off to create the wow factor and engaging baking space. We bring along all the ingredients, recipes, cooking utensils, for the ultimate TEAM BAKE OFF. We take care of all the logistics so you can just turn up, enjoy the activity with your guests and take the credit for booking an awesome experience for your colleagues or clients.

Sample running order

Guests will be greeted by the Event Manager / Host who will set the energy and the atmosphere in the room. Our host will give a briefing of what will happen and health and safety notices. Teams will then go to their baking station. This can be done at random or teams can be pre-allocated. Hats and aprons are put on, then teams will nominate a head chef who will be in charge of there team. Each team will then get to see what they are working on and are given a professional baking podium with the specialized baking equipment and ingredients. The team captain will then allocate roles as to who is doing what. Recipes are provided for each team. We can make it as easy or as hard for people depending how confident your team mates are or relevant to a specific company occasion, brand or theme.

Yes Chef Challenge and Team Bake OFF!

Our Head Chef or Host will then do a YES chef challenge with each team. The baking fun then beings with interactive professional chefs baking demonstrations. Our Chefs will entertain the guests and encourage audience participation during the baking demonstrations. For groups of 50 to 300 we will have a few demos running at the same time so everyone can see the demonstrations and the MC will talk through each stage of demonstrations.

Then basically your teams will go head-to-head. There is plenty for everyone to do, teams are judged on creativity, innovation, presentation and taste. Judging is fun and we have lots of banter between the Chefs and teams. Judging is based on creativity, taste and presentation. Once the judges have collaborated winners are announced and medals awarded to the winning team the guests will eat what has been made, take home, or donate.

Our Head Chef / MC will be armed with a microphone, will be ensuring lots of energy and banter in the space and will be making lots of announcements…

I cannot recommend Hartley's Events more highly. They ran a fantastic bespoke cookery event for our leadership team back in April, and we were all extremely impressed by their professionalism, adaptability to our needs and excellent facilitation. The session ran seamlessly and was thoroughly enjoyed by all!

We had a fabulous time on our "Bakeoff" - Kate and her team were really easy to work with, they created a great event for us. Feedback from our team was that they had a fun time, they had a chance to work together, there was the "frisson" on competition, and people are still talking about it 6 months later. Thank you. (ps, and the cakes and scones were delish).

My company recently had an event organised by Hartley's Events, everyone absolutely loved it. From the very first email exchange and phone call, Kate has been so incredibly helpful, always looking out for what we needed and most importantly ensuring it was delivered.We did the Gingerbread house making, which the team were so excited about as they'd done a Bake-Off challenge in the past.When we arrived, everything was set up, it decorated and was really christmassy...that definitely helped get people in the spirit!The supporting team on the day were so attentive, taking time to explain what to do, bringing laughs and most importantly a fun environment.The team and I are so grateful for the event, the care and attention we were given. The next team social we have, we'll definitely be heading to Hartley's firstThanks againMatthew & The RightIndem Team

We worked with Hartleys event for an event in Loch Lomond and it was brilliant. Right from when we first engaged with them they were friendly, knowledgeable and open to working with us to make a truly tailor made experience for our clients. On the day of the event it was clear they had a very slick and professional service as all their crew were fun, friendly and efficient with set up. The activity itself was wonderful; the energy and engagement that the Hartleys team was able to generate with the activities was excellent and all the delegates were excited and invested in what they were doing. We worked with Hartleys to donate left over bakes and food to a local homeless charity which was greatly appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with Hartleys again!

We where in need of a charismatic chef for a series of complicated events. This was a challenging brief with a variety of timing complications and ambitious engagement requirements. Hartleys where professional in assisting us from the start. Understood the brief and went above and beyond to make sure this was a success. And this was even before i start to mention how fantastic the food was. If you are looking for a chef for client engagement events look no further you have found the right place. - George Operations Manager.

Thank you to the Hartley events team for a fantastic sausage-making workshop! From initial contact to the day of the event, the team were very professional and gave me the option to customise the workshop to our needs. My team really enjoyed the session, they had so much fun and learned lots! I would recommend this workshop to anyone wanting to learn a new skill, do some team bonding and most importantly have fun. Huge thanks to Kate, Mark and the rest of the team for a brilliant event.

Speaking on behalf of 35 staff members, I can happily say that Hartley's events provided a 5 star service from quoting, to booking to delivery! The whole of our company had a fantastic time doing the 'Team Tapas'. Paul helped bring a funny, yet competitive element to our team build and made the event really enjoyable.The whole of the team worked really hard to make the event specific to our needs and pulled it off brilliantly. We are delighted to learn that they offer many more team build events and will certainly be booking in again!

We organized a team building event (Chocolate making class) for my company with Hartley at the beginning of December 2021 and it was such a gorgeous experience!Kate and her staff were so supportive and available to meet our needs, arranging the event on our company platform and managing all possible tech issues.Most important: the event was planned for a large group of more than 70 people from different countries in the EU and we also had a couple of attendees from Canada. Each one of us received the chocolate box ahead of the event, with no delay or customs issues.The event itself was fantastic, our chef Paul was super friendly and engaging, he made everything easy for us and our chocolate creations were simply delicious!This was definitely the best virtual team event we had so far!
