Corporate Days at Vale House Kitchen

At Vale House Kitchen, we know that good food and drink brings people together. That’s why we think that when it comes to corporate days out, you should forget muddy team-building assault courses in the rain and come to us instead, for a day of feasting and fun. Bristol-based company This Is Home made that very wise decision recently, joining us for a day of cookery skills, foraging and wine-tasting. We split the 30-strong group into three sections, rotating each…

Getting ready for Game

At Vale House Kitchen we have a field to fork ethos.

Corporate Day with Shell

Its been a very exciting few months here at Vale House Kitchen. In September we hosted our first big Corporate Day with a group of 50 lawyers from Shell coming to enjoy a day in the fabulous Somerset countryside. We wanted to show them everything that we had to offer so had groups shooting, fly fishing, trying their hand at butchery and chef skills along with cake decoration as well. The day was a tremendous success helped by the glorious…
