Kochburg is a cooking studio in Lenzburg, in the canton of Aargau, that companies and groups hire for team events and private parties of up to 50 guests. The room can be rented alone, so the organiser runs the evening, or booked with a ready-made programme led by the Kochburg team. It is ten minutes on foot from Lenzburg station and has free parking in front of the building.
Seminars and company events
Team events are the core of the offer. A company, a club or a group of friends can book an organised evening in the studio, and the site lists a long catalogue of themes. Asian cuisine for 12 to 20 people, ayurvedic cooking for 12 to 16, a grill course for teams of 12 to 24, an Italian cooking evening for 25 to 45, an oriental buffet evening for 15 to 45 and a Thai buffet evening for 15 to 50 are among the formats. Other themes include sushi, dumplings, Peruvian and Mexican cooking, a cooking duel and a culinary journey through Switzerland. Two modes exist: in a cooking class the guests cook themselves, and in an experience dinner they watch the kitchen team and enjoy the meal. An enquiry is answered within a few days, and the room calendar shows whether the date is free.
Weddings and receptions
The site does not offer weddings. It names birthdays, company events and family parties for the private hire of the studio, with a modest guest count that suits a private dinner, a celebration or a small reception.
Rooms and capacities
The event room holds 50 people. It comprises a kitchen with a bar, a reception area, cooking islands with four hobs each, a wok and teppan yaki station, and 14 steamers and ovens. The studio has a projector and a sound system, a Nespresso coffee machine and air conditioning. Because the kitchen is the room itself, guests stand at the islands when they cook, and the studio can also be hired as a dining and party room with the kitchen as a backdrop. The site does not give seated and standing numbers separately, only the 50-person figure.
Catering
In a hire of the room alone, the organiser arranges the day or the evening independently. The studio also sells complete team events, prepared and led by its experienced team, with the menu set by the chosen theme. Prices are listed per person on the site for each theme, and group sizes are given with each one.
Getting there
Kochburg is at Aarauerstrasse 53 in Lenzburg, in the canton of Aargau. The studio is a 10 minute walk from Lenzburg railway station. Free parking is available in front of the house. The site has an online room reservation page, which shows availability for the desired date, and a contact form for team events.
Booking
A booking is made in two steps. The organiser first checks the room calendar for the desired day, then sends an enquiry for the room or for a team event. The team answers within a few days and confirms whether the format is possible.
