The traditional style of team building and networking is changing…

More businesses are choosing experiences instead. Walking Food Tours UK, helps teams swap the office/boardroom for the streets, bringing people together over fantastic food, great drinks and plenty of conversation.

Whether it’s rewarding your team, entertaining clients, welcoming new starters or celebrating a company milestone, corporate food and drink tours offer something genuinely different. There’s no pressure, no awkward activities – just a relaxed few hours exploring some of the region’s best independent restaurants, cafés, bars and food producers.

Every tour is tailored to the group, with stops carefully chosen to showcase the very best local food and drink. Along the way, guests hear the stories behind the businesses, meet passionate owners and producers, and enjoy enough tastings to replace lunch or dinner. It’s a brilliant way to get people talking, laughing and connecting naturally.

Last week was a perfect example. Gareth (founder of Walking Food Tours UK) hosted a food and drink experience in Liverpool for a group of 19 Chamber guests and staff, and the feedback was fantastic. From the moment the tour began, the group quickly relaxed, conversations flowed and by the final venue everyone felt like they’d shared a genuinely memorable evening together. Gareth says “Hearing comments like “we’ve discovered places we’d never have found ourselves” is exactly why I love what I do”.

Since launching Walking Food Tours UK in 2018, Gareth and his team of guides have welcomed thousands of guests across Chester, Liverpool, Manchester, Shrewsbury and Wrexham. As proud local food champions, the team are passionate about shining a spotlight on the incredible independent businesses that make each city/town unique, while giving visitors and local businesses an experience they simply can’t get anywhere else.

Tour clients range from small local businesses to national organisations looking for something a little more memorable than the usual team-building event. Every experience is hosted personally, ensuring guests feel welcomed, engaged and, most importantly, have a brilliant time.

If you’re looking for a fresh way to bring your team together, entertain clients or simply celebrate success, why not give team building a delicious twist?

Gareth would love to help you create an experience your colleagues/clients will still be talking about long after the last bite.
