How to have a Club MAC style birthday party at home - Club Mac

Miss your time at Club MAC and want to recreate some of the fun and frolic with your family at home?  Or maybe you celebrated a special occasion with us and want to relive a few of those memories in a different way!

Why not have a Club MAC style birthday party at home for your child (or for the child in you)? Here are some easy but great ideas on how to create that fiesta vibe at home without having to travel all the way to Spain.

 

Finger food and children’s party snacks

At Club MAC, our menu across our three restaurants offers a plethora of Spanish specialities. But the dedicated Kid’s Corner has universal favourites that your little one’s love. Think chicken popcorn, lasagna Bolognese, baked beans, and julienned potatoes!
For a children’s party at home, take inspiration from our wide range of montaditos to create ham and cheese mini rolls for those who like savoury snacks and Nutella sandwiches for those who have a dominant sweet tooth. Then bring out some mini chicken croquettes and swap the French fries with Club MAC style patatas bravas!

Don’t forget the Club MAC style desserts. If you enjoy the pineapple tartlets and whipped cream desserts with us, you can serve a variety of fruit skewers dipped in chocolate, cream, and sprinkles at your party. Add to the spread an assortment of cookies, profiteroles and candies, and you’re all set! (For the adults, an assortment of cheeses like gouda, blue, and brie will be just as welcome.)

 

Fun drawing activities for the children

Celebrate a birthday at Club MAC Alcudia with an advanced birthday pack. You will receive a Club MAC CD, cake, and coloring pencils. Macky will also visit your table. Macky and Misha, the Club MAC mascots, are beloved by kids and parents. For a birthday party at home, have the kids recreate fun moments with a mascot drawing competition. From Misha in a birthday hat to Macky in a sombrero, there are many sketching options. These ideas will keep the kids busy with their coloring books and pencils.

 

 

No water park or beach? Try this instead.

While you may not be able to recreate a water park at home, an inflatable pool can be a great idea for summer parties! Fill it up with fun games like water balloons and squirt guns for some playful kid vs water time and it will keep the children busy for hours.

Another Club MAC special children’s activity that is super easy to recreate at home is T-shirt painting. Here, we let our little guests create their own designs on white t-shirts, and the proceeds go to UNICEF. An alternative for your party is to let each kid keep the t-shirt they painted and wear it.

With these ideas, you will be able to put together a fun Club MAC style birthday party within the comfort of your home. Just don’t forget to put on some Spanish music to complete the vibe! And next time when you are at Club MAC for a special occasion, remember to book your party pack with us in advance so we can make the day extra special for you and your family!

These are the best Spanish dishes to try at Club MAC on Thursday night - Club Mac

 

Get into the heart of Spanish cuisine when you holiday at Club MAC Alcudia this summer. With a choice of three restaurants and buffet-style themed dinners, our all-inclusive family holiday packages ensure that our guests are spoilt for choice at all meals. Take your pick of tapas, montaditos, mains and desserts from our extensive menu. It also includes vegetarian options, and a kid’s corner (think chicken popcorn and lasagne Bolognese) to keep your little ones happy and well-fed.

Explore the Best of Majorcan Cuisine
While classic Spanish cuisine overflows with hearty flavours and a variety of dishes, there are some that we recommend you try on your holiday in the beautiful Majorca islands. You can find these and many more delicious options on the Club MAC menu.

Tapas vs. Montaditos: What’s the Difference?
Do you know the difference between a tapa and a montadito? Outside Spain, people use ‘tapas’ for Spanish starters and small plates. These include montaditos, pinxtos, and raciones. If you think tapas are small snacks with drinks, you are correct! At Club MAC, you will have choices such as chorizo in cider, battered squid, and patatas bravas when ordering tapas.

Vegetarian Options for Every Taste
The menu offers an extra dozen montaditos. These snacks are served on a slice of bread. Think open sandwiches served either hot or cold. You have regular options like ham (Serrano!), tomato, and cheese. There’s also salmon and hummus with veggie sticks. For something more exotic, try chistorra (traditional cured sausage). You can also enjoy chorizo criollo, surimi, and egg.

We have many vegetarian dishes on the menu. One is tumbet, a Majorcan dish. It has roasted vegetables like potatoes, aubergines, and bell peppers in layers. This dish is not well known in mainland Spain. A heartier option is pisto. It’s Spain’s version of ratatouille. This healthy vegetable stew includes peppers, onions, tomatoes, and courgettes.

Must-Try Spanish Dishes at Club MAC

No menu in Spain is complete without the Spanish omelette, considered a national dish by many in the country. While everyone thinks their way of making it is the best – with or without onions, served as a snack or a main dish – the tortilla española made with eggs and potatoes is a must-try from the Club MAC menu.

The Iconic Spanish Omelette

The same goes for paella, an iconic rice dish originally from Valencia. Contrary to popular perception and modern popularity, the traditional paella is not a seafood dish, but a field dish made with chicken, rabbit, snails and other ingredients like white and green beans, tomatoes, olive oil, and saffron (and rice, of course). Traditionalists insist on proper ingredients for paella. Without them, it can’t be called a paella.

Spanish cuisine, and the Club MAC menu, are equally diverse when it comes to desserts.Try an assortment of cheeses, cakes, and puddings. We recommend the tocinillo de cielo. This tart looks like flan or crème caramel. It uses only egg yolks, sugar, and water. The origin dates back to the 1300s in Jerez. Local nuns used egg whites to clarify wine. They used leftover yolks to prepare tocinillo de cielo.

 

Enjoy authentic Spanish dishes at Club MAC restaurants. Have your fill every Thursday with our themed dinner, Olé España. If you’d rather have something more familiar and less exotic, we also offer a variety of roast meats and stews. You can even have your grilled meats prepared in front of you as you and your family enjoy the spread at Club MAC.
