2. Adventurous Dining!
Who said meal time has to be a sit down meal in a restaurant? Because, why eat in a normal way when you could make an adventure out of eating 😂
London, dining in the Sky is literally as it says, you get strapped into a chair at a dining table and hoisted into the sky. Where you can enjoy views of the city whilst eating a glorious meal. This is for the adventurous teams and would absolutely be a meal they would never forget. That being said, this does only take place in the summer, so be sure to book.
Dining in the dark Dans Le Noir in central London is a restaurant where you eat in the complete pitch dark. It is said to re-awaken your taste buds and give you an experience like no other.
3. Cocktail Masterclasses
Fancy shaking things up a bit with your team? The Cocktail club has got 4 different locations and their reviews are outstanding – you could sign up for a 2 hour experience – with games, lots of drinking and a few challenging drinks to make along the way.
Or how about chocolate and alcohol? Is that a win-win all round? You could head to Shoreditch for a choc-tail workshop at MyChocolate, where you would indulge in the luxurious mix of chocolate making and drinkies!
