The Kitchen Lab is an event location at Kemptpark 28 in Kemptthal, in the Winterthur region of Switzerland. It combines a seminar room, an event hall with a show kitchen and a catalog of interactive team events. Groups of 15 to 100 people can book it for a seminar, a company party, a wedding or a cooking event.
Seminars and company events
A day of meetings can be followed by a cooking session or a wine tasting in the same building. The seminar room can be separated from the event hall, and after the meeting the partition is opened so that the room becomes part of the event space. Your group does not need to travel to another place for lunch or dinner and stays on its own in the venue.
The seminar packages are templates that can be adapted. The half-day package includes a coffee reception in the morning with bread rolls, croissants, muesli, a fruit platter and fresh juices, with coffee, tea and water available all day. The full-day package adds a two-course lunch with a mini dessert and an afternoon coffee break with pastries. Add-ons are a cooking event, a dinner event and a tour of the site.
The team events are the venue's main offer. They include a Christmas party, a cooking battle, a pasta tavolata cooking event, a signature cooking event, a quiz tavolata, a flying dinner, a pasta workshop and a brunch event. The site states that they can be booked for groups of 15 to 100 people.
Weddings and receptions
The wedding package covers a wedding menu with a drinks package, exclusive use of the location, furniture and table settings with cloth napkins, kitchen crew and service staff, a mobile screen and a microphone, and organisation before, during and after the event. Cleaning and room rental are part of it.
Add-ons on request include a photo booth, printed material, a candy bar, a donut wall, a midnight snack and a bar service. The venue also has an in-house florist for table decoration, bridal bouquets and pins. Viewings can be arranged without obligation.
Rooms and capacities
The location has two main areas: a seminar room and an event hall, which can be joined or separated. The hall has a show kitchen used for the cooking formats. The site gives one overall range for events, 15 to 100 people, and does not list a capacity per room or per layout, so ask for the figures that apply to your format.
Catering
Catering is handled by the venue's own kitchen team. Formats range from a coffee reception and a two-course lunch to a wedding menu, a flying dinner and a brunch with dishes from the show kitchen. Wedding and event packages include service staff.
History and setting
The Kitchen Lab is located in the Kemptpark area of Kemptthal. Guests can add a guided tour of the grounds to a seminar or event day.
