When organisations bring senior leadership teams together, the agenda often focuses on strategy, planning and decision-making. However, it is often the time spent outside the meeting room that creates the strongest connections.
Recently, we were delighted to welcome the Operational Leadership Team of Urenco UK Limited to Chester.
With senior leaders visiting from multiple sites around the world, they were looking for something a little different for their evening together: an experience that showcased the city while giving colleagues the opportunity to relax, socialise and enjoy great food and drink.
A Corporate Food Tour Through Chester
The booking was organised by the Senior PA to the Managing Director, Group CNO and Senior Leadership Team at Urenco UK Limited, who selected our all-inclusive Taste of Chester experience.
The group enjoyed a hosted walking tour through Chester’s historic streets, visiting a carefully chosen selection of independent food and drink venues.
At each stop, they sampled selected dishes, wines and local beers while learning more about Chester’s history, hidden gems and fascinating stories.
The result was an experience that was both engaging and enjoyable, giving colleagues the chance to spend time together away from the formal conference environment.
Combining Food, Drink and Chester’s History
Our Taste of Chester tour is designed to offer much more than a meal or a traditional guided walk.
By combining independent venues, locally inspired food and drink, and entertaining stories about the city, the experience gives groups a relaxed way to explore Chester while getting to know one another better.
For leadership teams whose members may work across different locations, this informal setting can help encourage conversation and strengthen relationships beyond the meeting room.
Outstanding Feedback From the Urenco UK Team
The feedback from the group could not have been better:
“Every single person said it was brilliant. The food was great, the wines and beers were excellent, coupled with a history talk along the way – it was a wonderful success.”
Receiving feedback like this is exactly why we do what we do.
At Walking Food Tours UK, we do not simply take groups from one venue to another. We create memorable experiences that bring people together while championing outstanding independent food and drink businesses.
Corporate Experiences Beyond the Boardroom

We take care of the complete experience, including:
