Spanish Foodie Experience on a Boat Reviews

This is a fun activity in Canary Wharf, London

Step aboard a beautiful Dutch houseboat and experience authentic Spanish hospitality in one of London's most unique dining settings.

Moored in a private marina beside Canary Wharf, this intimate Spanish Foodie Experience is hosted by Tere, who has a passion for sharing authentic Spanish and Catalan cuisine. Much more than a meal and quite different from a traditional cookery school, guests are welcomed into her home to discover authentic family recipes, traditional Spanish cooking techniques, regional food traditions and the joy of sharing delicious food and conversation around the table, all while enjoying the unique atmosphere of life on a houseboat.

**Please note:** This is an authentic home cooking and dining experience, not a professional cookery school with individual cooking stations. Guests participate throughout the experience, taking part in key stages of the preparation while Tere guides them through the recipes and completes some elements to ensure everything is ready to enjoy together. There are plenty of opportunities to ask questions, learn new techniques and leave inspired to recreate the dishes at home.

Suitable for complete beginners as well as experienced home cooks, this experience offers the chance to discover authentic Spanish ingredients, traditional methods and the culture and customs that make Spanish food so special.

Once the cooking is complete, everyone sits down together to enjoy a leisurely, relaxed meal aboard Tere's cosy houseboat overlooking the peaceful private marina. Sharing delicious food, conversation and genuine Spanish hospitality is at the heart of the experience, making it unlike both a restaurant meal and a traditional cooking class.

If guests would like to enjoy a drink with their meal, they can choose from a bottle of quality Spanish Cava or, during the summer months, a jug of freshly made authentic Sangria prepared using Tere's own family recipe. Please select the preferred option when booking.

**Optional Spanish Language Experience**

For those learning Spanish, this unique experience can also be upgraded to include conversational Spanish throughout the session. As an experienced private Spanish tutor, Tere can combine authentic cooking with practical language learning in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.

**Important Information**

* The experience takes place in a domestic kitchen aboard a beautiful Dutch houseboat.
* Guests cook alongside the host and participate in key stages of the preparation rather than preparing every element individually.
* A minimum of two guests is required. If only one person books, the experience may be postponed or cancelled.

**Allergy Information**

A beautiful, fluffy and very friendly Ragdoll cat called Tippi lives on board. Although she doesn't take part in the cooking experience, guests with cat allergies should consider this before booking or purchasing the experience as a gift.

“Everything we hoped it would be and more! I booked this at very short notice last Sunday, for a long overdue father-son bonding experience. We had the most wonderful time! Tere is an incredible host, and her houseboat is a beautiful, relaxing place to cook. We learned how to make authentic pan con tomate, tortilla de patatas, and a delicious paella. We can't wait to bring these recipes home and demonstrate our culinary skills with family and friends Meeting her gorgeous Ragdoll cat was a lovely bonus, and eating our homemade food on the water was a perfect memory. Thank you, Tere for such an unforgettable experience! 5 stars all the way ✨️”

“We had an absolutely lovely evening with Tere and her husband Colin. Such a warm and authentic experience. The food being delicious was just the cherry on top. Will be recommending to all our friends and looking at the other experiences that they offer. If you are in the fence, just give this one a go, you will come away feeling richer for it. Five stars doesn’t do it justice.”
