Spanish Foodie Experience on a Boat Reviews

Read ClassBento UK 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.

“An absolutely wonderful experience! Tere has a warm and bright personality and we really enjoyed our time on her boat. Getting to learn about how she makes the food, what makes these spanish flavours, and to then enjoy the feast with her company was a great exchange. We’ve learnt quite a bit of cooking tips and tricks and at the end of the experience, it just felt like we have been hosted by a friend now who has given us a gift of being able to cook the same dishes at home! Thanks Tere! Love, Chai and Thomas”

“I had the most unforgettable experience on Tere's Spanish food on a boat. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Tere is not only a talented chef but also incredibly lovely and artsy. Her warm personality and creative touch made the lunch experience even more special. It felt like eating with a dear friend who happened to be a culinary artist. Her passion for Spanish cuisine shone through in every bite, and the charming setting on the boat added to the magic of the evening. I can't express how much I enjoyed every aspect of the day – from Tere's delightful company to her exquisite Spanish cuisine. This is an experience you don't want to miss!”
