    Summer Conference
    Jenius Social is owned by Jennifer Yong who is very easy to deal with. We are a food team and wanted our colleagues to experience an afternoon of street cooking and to add a touch of our own products to enhance the food on the day. Jennifer and the Chef's were very accommodating. They have a great set up and we were split into teams then moved around to each station cooking the different street foods. Everyone had such a phenomenal day, and talked about what a great afternoon they had. Thank you to Jennifer and her team they were amazing. We had so much fun!! I would highly recommend Jenius Social for team building.
    Hi Teresa, Thank you so much for such an amazing review. We really enjoyed having your team come to our venue and we hope to see you and your team back in 2024. Have a lovely rest of the week. Kind regards, Jennifer

    Great team experience - competitive cooking!
    I took my team to Jenius Social for a team experience after our all day meeting/offsite. We opted to do the Ready Steady Cook style competitive cook off made up of three teams and I'm so glad we did. We all got really into it and the time flew by. We got to eat what we'd cooked and had some drinks together. Jen and her team are so incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable and it was the real highlight of our company offsite. Great value for money given that it's dinner, drinks and an experience all rolled into one.
    Hi Tamara, Thank you again for bringing your team to Jenius Social. It was so lovely to finally meet your team in real life after our virtual cookery experience and we hope to see you and your team back in 2024. Have a lovely rest of the week. kind regards Jennifer

    Team Building Event - Mystery Box Cooking Challenge
    We recently did a teambuilding "mystery box cooking challenge" at Jenius Social. It was brilliantly organised by Jennifer and the chefs on hand were excellent. All the teams made some amazing dishes and had a lot of fun in the process. I would highly recommend this as a team building event.
    Hi Emily, Thank you so much for bringing your team to our venue. We are so glad that they enjoyed the Mystery Box challenge and the food looked amazing! We look forward to meeting you and your team very soon. Kind regards Jennifer

    Great work event
    We had a great evening at Jenius Social, on a work social evening, taking part in the ready, steady cook mystery box challenge. We highly recommend this as a fun team event. All the staff were really helpful and friendly and the venue was perfect.

    Mystery Box Challenge - Great fun for all!
    I booked the Mystery Box Challenge at Jenius Social for a team building exercise and it couldn't have been a nicer experience. Jennifer was so welcoming and friendly. The dining area and kitchen were set up so well and very spacious. We all had so much fun on our cocktail making class and cooking challenge. Chef Jackie was great at giving tips and advice. It was lovely to end with us all enjoying the food we had made with a nice glass or two of wine. I would recommend Jenius for team building events as well as a great way to spend time with family and friends

    Such a fun staff party
    We took our staff here for their Christmas Party. We have a range of 16-40 year olds on our team and everyone got involved and had the most fun! Jen and the team were fab and there to help throughout. The cocktail making was also sooo delish that we asked Jen to send us the recipe! Would highly recommend :)
    Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are so glad you enjoyed your Christmas party with us, it was a pleasure hosting you and your team! Thanks, Jennifer

    Best team activity ever
    We had a team party for 11 and did the ready steady cook session with the Jenius team. It was managed perfectly, and amazing how Jeni has every element planned out so that it was competitive but fun without being too focussed on the food. Everyone got into the spirit of the event and got a brilliant opportunity to have a great time together and talk about a shared experience. Definitely recommend it, thank you!

    So much fun!
    Jen and the team at Jenius social were amazing, the Mystery box challenge was so much fun. We were a large group 40+, Jen and the team ran the event so smoothly. Everyone had a great time, got involved and enjoyed dining on their own dishes at the end. Highly recommend Jenius Social and the Mystery Box Challenge for a corporate team building event.

    We were a big group of almost 60 and everyone had a wonderful time. Colleagues said they hadn't laughed so much for a long time and the chefs were what made the experience worth 5 stars. Great venue and wonderful activity for a company away day

    Best place for your team-building event!
    Jenius social was the perfect place for our mid-year team building event. Jennifer and her team were amazing hosts and we could not have asked for a better experience. The event was great value for money and the feedback from the team has been nothing but praise!

Took part in a virtual team-building cookery experience in lockdown, and it was fantastic! The food was delivered to my door, our team connected on Zoom, then a chef led us through cooking three courses. They even included a cocktail to start, which was great social lubrication! It was fast & fun, and in the end we'd cooked delicious Vietnamese summer rolls, a lip-smackingly good Thai green curry (made with their custom curry paste) and coconut & chocolate truffles. I never knew I was such a good cook, ha! A really fab way to bring your team together - you'll learn chef tricks, laugh a lot and eat great food. What's not to love?

We recently took part in an online cookalong with Jenius Social for our work Christmas party and it was fantastic! The ingredients was delivered straight to everyone's door (including the recipe for your info if you wanted to cook again at a later date) and we all took part via zoom. The chef and host were great, keeping all the team engaged and talking everyone through the cooking process step by step. The food was delicious and all of the team would agree. A great virtual team-building experience all round. Would definitely book again!

Our virtual teambuilding thai masterclass was a huge hit with our team of employees that took part....so much so that they are asking for another one to do it all over again! With lockdowns, staying at home and post New Years blues, this was a great way to connect with colleagues, have fund, and eat great restaurant-quality food. The delivery of all the ingredients the day before was so very much appreciated, and our chef Steve was simply excellent. Even those of us in the team with very basic cooking skills were raving about the delicious meals at the end. Thanks Jenius Social and we hope to work with you again!

We organised a team-building event at Jenius Social and did the “Ready Steady Cook” Mystery Box Challenge. For a team that has gone through considerable turnover, and with colleagues travelling from Edinburgh to join us, I asked Jennifer to put us into random cooking teams …. and we built a team!
It was incredibly well organised, great fun and brought out a friendly competitive spirit in all of us. With lots of people milling around in the kitchen, the emphasis was on safety and was so well organised by Jennifer and her team, that everything ran smoothly, with the resulting food being thoroughly enjoyed by the teams whilst Jennifer and her team decided the winners.
I would highly recommend this, and Jenius Social, to any teams looking for a team building experience.

I organised an online cooking class with Jenius Social for my colleagues, and we've had such a great experience from first reaching out to the class itself. Jennifer was always quick to reply to my queries, and all the prep for organising the class went really smoothly. In the class itself we made Japanese food and chef Dan was great at keeping everyone engaged, as well as keeping the class easy to follow. We all ended up with really tasty sushi, gyozas & matcha truffles and are already planning on trying our hands at another cuisine soon!

We visited Jenius Social for our annual team away day and truly cannot fault the experience. The venue is perfect for a team to have an event (we were 30 people and we able to split into break out groups easily in the space). The catered lunch was the best we have ever had from a venue, really good quality, more than enough for everyone and very tasty.
We had the Cocktail Making experience as the fun team building bit in the afternoon. The 2 mixologists were really friendly and made it a great fun experience for all.

Jennifer is warm, welcoming and has excellent social skills. She made our whole team, from R&D chefs to Senior Sales Controller, feel completely at home! Every member in my team actually made a personal comment of how lovely she was during our event. The venue itself is bright, airy, professional and has a fully equipped kitchen. Jennifer helped organise the table layout, could help with deliveries the day before and we also had some lovely refreshments. The venue is perfect for a whole host of activities/ events, though we used it to do a big presentation and sample new food innovation. I have already recommended this venue far and wide across our company and would book again in a heartbeat!!! Thank you Jennifer!!! Emma

The facilities and space were brilliant but Dan and the team at Jenius were outstanding. Dan was so accommodating from the start and engaged with all of us, and then he was a total showstopper for our cooking class. We learned so much and had such a fantastic time, he really made our day. The team were just as brilliant helping us out and our glasses never emptied! Jen is brilliant and very responsive, she has been so accommodating and made the booking process a walk in the park. Wonderfully professional. Thoroughly recommend.
