What is the capacity for private parties and venue hire?

Our spaces are highly flexible. The Secret Cellar (our dedicated party room) can seat between 11 and 70 guests, or hold up to 80 guests for a standing reception. If you are planning a larger celebration, you can hire the full venue to accommodate up to 120 guests across both floors.

What catering options are available for private events?

Tapas is infinitely flexible and perfect for sharing. Depending on the vibe of your event, we can set up the room for a formal sit-down meal or a casual standing buffet. We offer dedicated Party Menus featuring a curated blend of classic and modern Spanish dishes.

Can you accommodate guests with specific dietary requirements?

Absolutely. Because tapas consists of versatile small plates, it is incredibly easy to build a menu that works for everyone. We offer a wide variety of authentic vegetarian and vegan options to ensure all your party guests are well looked after.

Can you provide entertainment or activities for our party?

Yes! To give your event an authentic Spanish atmosphere, we can arrange live Spanish guitarists to play during your party. We can also set up a special, guided Spanish wine-tasting session for your guests.

Is the venue suitable for corporate events and team-building?

Yes, we frequently host office Christmas lunches, corporate milestone celebrations, and team-building dinners. We are centrally located in Mayfair—just a 5-minute walk from both Green Park and Hyde Park Corner stations—making it incredibly convenient for your team and clients to reach.
