Groups & Private Events in Reykjavík

Your group.
Our kitchen.

Bring your team, your friends or your whole travel party. Cook a meal together under the guidance of a professional chef, then pull up a chair and enjoy it. The kitchen is yours for the whole event.

What brings you together?

All occasions.
One kitchen.

A team evening. A celebration. A stop on your Iceland itinerary. Tell us what you have in mind.

Teams & Colleagues

Make something together.

Give everyone a chance to get involved beyond the usual working day. There’s a meal to make, a chef to guide you, and time to sit down together afterwards.

Plan a team event
Friends & celebrations

Good company. Dinner in the making.

Birthdays, reunions, or an evening worth getting everyone together for. Spend it cooking, catching up, and enjoying what you’ve made.

Plan a private celebration
Travel groups

Put Iceland on the menu.

Bring your group into the kitchen for a hands-on introduction to Icelandic food. Work with local ingredients, hear the stories behind the dishes, and share a meal together.

Good to know

What groups
tend to ask us.

The questions we hear most from groups.

01

Does everyone need cooking experience?

No. Your chef guides the group through the cooking, one step at a time. Curiosity is a good place to start.

02

How many people can you accommodate?

Up to 36, which makes for a full kitchen. Our open classes never take more than 16.

03

How long does it take?

Our classes run from two to three and a half hours, including the meal.

04

Can you accommodate allergies or dietary requirements?

Yes, and for a private group it’s usually easy. We can adapt the menu to most requirements. Mention them in your enquiry and we’ll work it out with you.

05

How far ahead should we enquire?

We have one kitchen, so once a date is booked, it’s gone. But if we’re free next week, we’d love to welcome you, so don’t hesitate to get in touch.

06

What’s included in the price?

A professional chef, all ingredients, aprons and equipment, a full meal, and all the washing up and tidying done for you. Afterwards everyone gets the recipes and photos by email.

07

How do we confirm the event?

Send us an enquiry and we’ll reply with a proposal and a price. Once you confirm, the date is yours. A 30% deposit is invoiced 60 days before the event, and the balance 14 days before.

08

What if our numbers or plans change?

You can reduce your numbers up to 7 days before. Cancelling more than 60 days ahead is free. After that the deposit is non-refundable, and within 14 days of the event the full price is due.
