Kitchen Theater
Would you like to try your hand at being a host for an evening? Or perhaps a bartender, chef, florist, or hotel director?
At our kitchen theater event, groups of 15-50 people get to experience firsthand what it is like to run a hotel – for real!
The event lasts for approximately 4 hours, and we have knowledgeable chefs and waiters who will guide you and offer good tips along the way.
In our experience, Kitchen Theater is an excellent way to bond people together, it is a fun way to see how the participants adapt to their roles. Send us a request for your event today.
Beer Tasting
Our beer enthusiast takes you on a journey through the world of beer. Here, the taste buds are set in motion and you are guaranteed to have a renewed relationship with beer after this evening. The kitchen at Kronen Gaard prepares a plate for each participant with different flavors such as herring, marinated shrimp, and an assortment of cheeses, cured meats, and dark chocolate, which are to be tasted together with the different beers.
The duration of the event is approximately 1,5 hours and is best suited for groups of 10 – 30 people.
