This is a fun activity in Canary Wharf, London

Spice up your London staycation and bring a touch of Spanish cuisine to the capital with this flavour-filled cooking class.

Hosted on a beautiful Dutch barge houseboat moored in private marina next to Canary Wharf, this interactive workshop is guided by a friendly local expert, Tere, who'll show you how to whip up a Spanish / Catalan classic using high-quality ingredients and fresh produce. You'll discuss Spanish food, pick up new techniques and watch some handy demonstrations before taking over to try yourself!

It doesn't matter if it's your first time getting creative in the kitchen either, this beginner-friendly class is the perfect chance to broaden your culinary horizons and will help you learn to cook a delicious new dish in a calming environment.

If you would like a drink with your food you can choose from a bottle of good quality Cava or in summer months, a jug of freshly made Sangria (Tere's authentic recipe), tick your choice in add-ons.

Extras: If you are learning Spanish and would like to use the experience as a private Spanish tuition class whilst cooking please check the add on fee which will give you a language lesson along with the cooking! Your host teaches Spanish to privately to students outside of cooking classes.

At the end of your workshop, you'll get the chance to enjoy a sit-down meal as you taste-test all of your hard work. The next time you're looking for indoor activities, you can pull out your pans and relax with the amazing aromas of Spanish food.

If just one person books then the class cannot proceed, please be aware that if there are less than 2 guests, the class will be cancelled or postponed.

NOTE: The teacher has a beautiful, fluffy and super friendly Ragdoll cat, if you are allergic to cats please consider this before booking for yourself or gifting to friends.

We had an absolutely wonderful evening with Tere on her beautiful boat with her gorgeous cat Tippi. Tere was so warm, friendly, and kind, making us feel so welcomed and at home, and her food was divine. We learned so much about traditional Spanish ingredients and cooking techniques and had the chance to sample some delicious delicacies (the paella, padron peppers, and grated tomatoes were stunning, as was the cream liquer!). Having arranged our evening as a Valentine's date, I can honestly say that we had a magical time and would recommend the experience in a heartbeat. Beautiful memories made - thank you again, Tere!

We really enjoyed this great Spanish foodie experience. This was a brilliant gift for my girlfriend who used to live in Spain, it was nostalgic for her to see all the authentic ingredients brought over from Spain and make some of her favourite dishes (or try something new with the Fideuà - our new favourite)! Tere was so friendly and the food was delicious and plentiful (it was a treat taking the leftovers home). Thank you for welcoming us in your home, and for our lovely photo collage we loved it!

We loved out cooking class with Tere! It was such a unique environment and we enjoyed learning about Spanish cuisine as well as living on a boat. The food was delicious and Tere was very warm and welcoming. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun activity in London.

We had a fantastic experience with Tere! We had a very relaxed and enjoyable afternoon learning many tips and tricks about Spanish cooking. Tere was so welcoming to us and we would certainly recommend the experience. The food was delicious and Tere's floating home was so warm and full of colour. We look forward to trying the recipes at home.

Thank you for a wonderful experience. Tere was well organised and prepared. She offered us a comfortable and safe environment and we felt completely at ease. The menu was perfect for us with lovely drinks and music to match the meal. It reminded us of our holiday in Spain. We discussed Spanish culture, food, destinations and language. She’s a knowledgable conversationalist who can make anyone feel at home in her cosy and comfy boat. It was interesting to be on a boat and see a fast-changing part of London. We then took the Uber boat back home along the Thames and recreated the menu the next day. What a great day out!

Booked this for my girlfriend's birthday and we had a wonderful evening learning and watching some lovely food being cooked. I had never been on a houseboat before and doing a class like this in a unique environment was great fun. Fantastic evening with fantastic people.
