Tasty Tapas

Tasty Tapas is a social, hands-on cookery team builidng activity like no other. It’s fun, creative and individuals learn new skills while working as a team!

Translated literally, Tapa means lid and were pieces of bread used to cover wine glasses to deter fruit flies. Over time olives and cold meats were added to the bread creating delicious dishes. Tasty Tapas begins with an introduction and a short talk on knife skills from our expert chefs followed by a demonstration where they will make 3 to 5 different types of classic tapas dishes! This may include dishes such as Tortilla española (a classic spiced Spanish omelette), Croquetas (Bechamel or paella balls flavoured with ham or shrimp tossed in breadcrumbs and fried), or Jamon Serrano (air-dried ham, pickles and salad) to name a few.

After this, it’s over to the participants as they take control and create their delicious Tapas! Teams will be judged on creativity and value with the winning team being awarded the coveted Master Chef medals!

How long does this activity last?

We would suggest allowing around 3 hours for this activity although the running time can be tailored fit in with your schedule and the time you have available.

How long do you need to set up and clear away?

Setup and clear down times do vary from activity to activity although for this activity we would typically ask for around 1 hour to set up and 1 hour to clear away. It is sometimes possible to reduce these times if we need to. If you need a quick setup/clear down at your event, please let us know and we will see how this can be done.

Will you run everything on the day?

Yes absolutely! Your activity will be run by a professional and friendly team so that you can relax and enjoy the activity along with your colleagues.

Where can this activity be run?

All of our events are completely mobile and can be run throughout the UK at hotels, conference centres, sports clubs, or even at your offices if you have enough space. If you already have a venue booked for your event we are happy to liaise with them regarding set up for your activity. Alternatively, we would be more than happy to help you find a suitable venue for your event.

How much space is needed for this activity?

The exact amount of space needed for this activity will vary depending upon how many people are taking part. As a rough guide, around 4 square metres per person should be plenty of room for this activity and will allow people to cook and eat in the same space. As an alternative, we could use two smaller rooms and have one 'cooking space' and one 'eating space'.

Do we need access to a kitchen for this activity?

All of the cookery team building activities we offer come with a fully equipped 'pop up' kitchen containing all of the specialist equipment and sundries needed for the activity so there is no need for us to have access to a kitchen. All we would need is a suitably sized room and some tables.

Do you cater for allergies and special dietary requirements?

Yes absolutely. If any of your team have food allergies or special dietary requirements, please let us know and we will ensure they are catered for appropriately.
