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.

“Really enjoyable class with a friendly, engaging host who provided an excellent cookery demonstration in a really different venue - a houseboat. Food was delicious and we came away with some great ideas. Highly recommended by our group of 4”

“We had a wonderful evening with Tere in her gorgeous boat. She was a warm and enthusiastic teacher who cooked us a delicious meal. She gave us some great tips for cooking that I look forward to trying out. She was also very gracious and patient when I was late because I got mixed up about where her boat was. That was entirely down to me because I didn’t follow her instructions properly and Google Maps confused me. So do double check which marina you’re going to! I would highly recommend a class with Tere. It was a lovely experience. Muchas gracias!”

“Tere was a brilliant host. Made us welcome to her lovely Dutch Barge full of character with Cava. She prepared lovely food talking us through the ingredients and showed us how she made each dish in detail. We know Spanish food but it was great to see it done so expertly with little tweaks to make it so yummy. We had Pan y Tomate, Padron Peppers, Fideua, great Tortilla...Serrano, broken olives....I won't spill the beans on her clever tricks....it was all fab...with great charm and hospitality. Great fun for the 5 of us!”
