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.

“I cannot recommend this experience enough! Tere is an exceptional teacher whose warm, chatty personality made the entire session feel incredibly comfortable and cosy. The food was truly phenomenal - words don't do justice to how delicious every bite was. Being on such a charming, well-kept boat put us instantly at ease and added a unique magic to the day. Beyond the cooking, Tere was kind enough to capture photos of us to remember the occasion, and we loved hearing stories about her vibrant life while learning the cuisine. Whether you're looking for a romantic date idea or want to add an irresistible new dish to your repertoire, this is the perfect class.”

“Definitely a unique experience! Tere and Colin made us feel very welcome and with her creative and sometimes unconventional tips, Tere definitely knew how to make authentic-tasting Spanish food even with ingredients available in the UK. It was a great belated Christmas present :)”
