About School of Wok - Asian Cookery School

Looking for something a little out of the box for your next corporate event or team building? You've already done the local pub, bowling and organised a quiz for your team building events, perhaps now it's time to try something a little more... delicious? 

The School of Wok has a fantastic location in the heart of the Strand making it the perfect spot for plenty of Central London-based businesses, as well as being close to major underground stations, national rail and bus routes for those located around the capital. If you're coming into London, you'll find plenty of hotels local to here, as well as restaurants, cafes, attractions and museums, if you want to make an extended trip of it. 

The School of Wok are experienced in hosting corporate cookery classes and offer an impressive selection of options, depending on your party size, time constraints and the mood of your get-together. For example, there's the 'Cook For The Homeless' session, in which guests are schooled in making authentic spring rolls, black bean chicken and Hong Kong noodles, making enough for double portions which are later donated to a nearby homeless charity. Or, ignite your team's competitive spirit with the 'Ultimate Chef Challenge' which sees sub teams battle it out for the crown. 

Personally, we're won over by the sound of the 'Operation China Town' which combines a treasure hunt to London's famous Chinatown, led by clues and tasty Asian treats, culminating in a competitive cookery event. What's a better way to ensure your team are working together, having fun and getting fed?

Or, if you have your own food-focused company and want to showcase new products or organise a tasting, you can hire the space for up to three hours, with use of two kitchens across two floors, and set the agenda yourself.

It was a great experience.FEBRUARY, 2026

I organised one corporate cooking event with School of Wok and it was a great experience. The team was very cooperative and easy to work with, which made planning simple. The location is perfect, close to corporate offices so it was really convenient for our group. A fun and engaging option for team-building!
