Poitjie Cookoff Team Building Event

Poitjie Cookoff Team Building Event

Our Poitjie Cookoff team building event is suitable for groups looking for fun but relaxing day out with team building objectives and a fun learning experience.  

We provide all ingredients, poitjie’s, cookers, prep tables, cooking utensils and gazebo’s if required.

The event runs as follows:

Team Building challenges to determine winners who get the first choice on the meat ingredients of their potjie. We provide a range of meat bases including, lamb, oxtail, beef, and chicken.

Teams are then given time to look at menu suggestions and plan their auction strategy to get the required ingredients for their planned menu.

We then hold an auction in which teams use their allotted Company Dollars to bid for vegetable items including potatoes, onions, mushrooms, patty pans, carrots, sweet potatoes, courgettes, tomatoes, and butternut.

Upon conclusion of the auction, teams are given time to barter with one another in a focus on negotiation skills by breaking the exercise down to the most basic form of economic exchange.

Once the bartering is complete, the spice table opens and the cooking can begin. Teams are given 3 hours to cook their meal. A wide range of spices are available for teams to create the perfect poitjie.
