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 ExperienceFor 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 InformationA 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.

Recent reviews of Spanish Foodie Experience on a Boat
5/5 from Natalia Parrilla, attended Sep 2026: Thank you Tere for the lovely experience! We learned so much and the food was lovely! Such a cute boat!!
5/5 from Jenny Cheong, attended Sep 2026: It was like spending time with a good and knowledgeable friend! What a delight to be celebrating my son's 25th birthday at Tere's houseboat experiencing some tasty dishes that's she's shared. Tere's very generous with her time and effort, can't thank her enough. She's even thrown in a surprise Cava! We've now gone away with recipes we can try at home. Just marvellous!
5/5 from Megan Martin, attended Aug 2026: Tere was really friendly, chatty, and knowledgeable! The food was great (highly recommend the sangria add on option). Would definitely recommend for anyone who wants to do something a little different
5/5 from James Francis, attended Aug 2026: Completely unique idea and so much fun! Tere is a fantastic host and great company. They do a variety of activities all which sound great tbh! Highly recommend!
4/5 from Tom Player, attended Aug 2026: A fun time was had by the two of us. Tere, our host was warm and welcoming and - aside from myself cracking a few eggs - cooked all of the meals for us, whilst keeping us entertained with stories and descriptions of her cooking techniques. We left with our bellies full and enjoyed the experience of being on the house boat with her cat. Had I read the description better I would have seen that this isn't a cooking course, but a "foodie experience". If I had to find a negative, I would say for the price of £95 per person, we could instead have had a michelin starred lunch tasting menu - and all of the associated pomp and ceremony. However, I'm not sure we would have enjoyed that more. All the best Tere and regards
5/5 from Jennifer Cornell, attended Jul 2026: Tere was the best host we could ask for! The food was absolutely amazing and her passion for what she does really shines through. Cannot recommend enough!!!
5/5 from John Obla, attended Jul 2026: Amazing host and amazing cooking, thank you Tere!
5/5 from Lianne Head, attended Jul 2026: My son and I had such an amazing lunch with Tere, the perfect experience!

5/5 from Victoria, attended Jun 2026: Lovely evening with Tere & Colin. Food was fabulous and such wonderful people too.
5/5 from Nico Effiong, attended Jun 2026: 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 ✨️
5/5 from Jo Burchell, attended Jun 2026: 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.
5/5 from Sonia Jajua, attended Jun 2026: Had an absolutely splendid time during this experience. Tere was so knowledgeable about everything and covered absolutely all bases. A amazing memory my two bestfriends and I will look back on, thank you so much Tere! Based on this amazing time we had we are already looking into doing an art workshop run by her partner too :). If you are considering this experience just do it! You won’t regret it at all :)

5/5 from Rob Myatt, attended May 2026: Wonderful class, Tere is a great teacher and Tipi is a fantastic host
5/5 from Tom, attended May 2026: I bought a gift card to use for this class as a birthday gift for my partner as we are both huge foodies and love to cook. Tere and Colin were fantastic hosts and their dutch barge was so cosy and unique. Tere was full of so much knowledge and tips about Spanish cooking and food, it was great to learn more about it and enjoy the live cooking process. She was very happy to accommodate our dietary requirements and made us feel so at home. We had a truly lovely time and the food hit all the foodie nails on the head!!
5/5 from Danielle Nuttgens, attended Apr 2026: We had such a fantastic time at this cooking class, easily 5 stars! Tere was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. The food was delicious, and we loved learning how to make some Spanish staples. Tere, her partner Colin, and their adorable cat made us feel so welcome, and the cozy houseboat setting added something really special. Great conversation, great food, and a really memorable experience. We’d absolutely recommend it.
5/5 from Jenni Mildon, attended Apr 2026: Thanks to Terre for hosting a lovely evening. We learnt a lot and enjoyed her company - along with an appearance from Colin and the lovely cat!
5/5 from Hannah Bligh, attended Apr 2026: Tere is wonderful! we all had such a lovely evening learning more about Spanish culture and food (+ it was super yummy!)
5/5 from Kirstin Knell, attended Mar 2026: Absolutely fantastic experience. My 16 year old went with a friend for her 50th birthday and they both had the best time. Truly recommended as an experience!
5/5 from Ben Broomfield, attended Mar 2026: Tere was a great host, and it was a lovely experience cooking on the boat with her. Would recommend, I learnt some great recipes and had great chat.
5/5 from Richard Overall, attended Mar 2026: I bought this experience for my husband's birthday last year as it sounded more interesting than other days out - I mean who learns Spanish cooking on a boat? I did have some concerns, - my husband is the foodie and I had visions of me being stuck chopping mountains of onions and garlic whilst he and the teachrer bonded over some rare and overpriced ingredient. I also wondered if it would be awkward being in a stranger's home eating dinner. I need not have worried. Tere is so warm and friendly that within minutes we felt like we'd dropped in to see an old friend. We were made to feel really welcome and we had proper conversations, not just one sided monologues, although Tere has lived an interesting life and her stories were very entertaining. The boat is also amazing and adds to the whole experience. Tere cooked all the food talking us through what she was doing and she introduced us to seasonings we'd never heard of before. When the meal was ready it was delicious and better than a lot of meals we've actually eaten in Spain. Tere took photos thorughout the day and as she's an artist, they came out beautfiully. We also got to meet her beautiful fluffy cat which made us feel honoured! When our day was finished, Tere sent us all the photoss, a step by step guide of how to prepare the food ourselves and a list of ingredients, where we could buy them, and how we should use them. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time, Tere is an engaging and knowledgeable teacher and I would recommend this course to anyone with an interest in good food. We will definitely be going back to try some more of Tere's amazing cuisine. I cannot recommend this experience enough - it makes a fabulous gift for someone special or a lovely treat for yourself! Thanks for a great day Tere - hope to see you agian soon!
5/5 from Hayley Jackson, attended Mar 2026: We had great fun during this experience. Tere, the host was brilliant, her knowledge about Spanish cooking was excellent. The food was very tasty and we all agreed we will definitely be making these dishes again. Tere took photos throughout and made a collage to send us along with the recipes which was great. Highly recommend.
5/5 from Sadia Aery, attended Feb 2026: 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.
5/5 from Lucy Chen, attended Feb 2026: 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 :)
5/5 from Panitsa Chris, attended Jan 2026: This class was so wonderful - Tere is a fantastic cook and taught us so much about Spanish cooking. She is so warm and welcoming and we felt right at home as we ate our delicious food. An absolute must do experience! We are both really looking forward to booking our next class with Tere!

5/5 from Sara Martin, attended Nov 2025: Thank you to Tere for a fantastic evening! We had some amazing food in Tere’s lovely home, and were made to feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend to anyone keen to learn how to cook Spanish food in a relaxed environment!
5/5 from Kat Butler, attended Oct 2025: The Spanish foodie experience is such a fun and unique activity - we would highly recommend it. Tere is a wonderful host, we were made to feel so welcome from the moment we arrived! During the cooking, Tere gives you lots of information about the food and where it comes from and why she chooses it and she makes sure that you feel really involved in the process. The food is absolutely delicious, so tasty! And the venue is fab, it was so cosy even with the tail end of a storm blowing around outside. The photos and recipes Tere also sent through were a lovely bonus. Thank you so much Tere!
5/5 from Veronica Molina Marchan, attended Oct 2025: This was a perfect experience for myself and my son. We had a lovely lovely time with Tere.

5/5 from Hannah Borthwick, attended Aug 2025: We had a brilliant afternoon with Tere celebrating my father in laws 80th birthday. He has travelled extensively in Spain so it was wonderful to see the interaction with Tere and her knowledge of all the produce she uses. She welcomed us into her quirky home like old friends and cooked us a delicious lunch. We ranged in age from 9 to 80 and all had a fantastic time.
5/5 from Maria Anastasiou, attended Jul 2025: We had a wonderful experience. Tere was very approachable and made us feel relaxed and comfortable. She was very knowledgable about all the ingredients and explained each step of the cooking process. We loved how at home and authentic it felt and it was a very unique and cooking class like no other. All the good that Tere cooked was absolutely delicious and we even got to take the leftovers home! Thank you, Tere for a lovely evening!
5/5 from Eloisa Belloni, attended Jul 2025: A truly lovely experience. I booked this as a surprise for my partner’s birthday, and he absolutely loved it. Tere was incredibly welcoming and warm from the moment we arrived. She gave us a fascinating glimpse into her life on the houseboat, showing us around and sharing personal stories that made the experience feel intimate and special. Her explanations of the recipes and the ingredients she used were clear and engaging. We also had the pleasure of meeting Tippi, her charming cat, who came by to greet us. Overall, a unique and heartwarming experience I’d highly recommend!
5/5 from Jon Burton, attended Jun 2025: From the warmest welcome to the final farewell, Tere looked after us exceptionally! My two daughters and myself could not have had more fun and learnt some extra special cooking tips along the way. The food that Tere cooked for us was packed full of flavour and colour - she also added little treats bought from Spain to ensure absolutely authentic flavours. I could not recommend this cooking experience enough, Tere hosted above and beyond. Thank you Tere!
5/5 from Max Pokorny, attended May 2025: This experience exceeded all my expectations! I booked this for my girlfriend’s birthday, and it just made the day so special. Tere is the loveliest, and the food is some of the best spanish food Ive tried outside of spain - she brings ingredients back from spain just for you to use! I highly recommend this experience! (Plus the Ragdoll cat is absolutely gorgeous)
5/5 from Andy Rose, attended May 2025: An amazingly fun experience. Tere was so lovely and walked us though cooking an excellent meal which was tuned to our foodie tastes. Everything is easy to learn and adapt, and the tastes were amazing. Overall a lovely experience with Tere and Tippy the cat. Highly recommended.
5/5 from Anja Pohl, attended May 2025: If we could we would give 100 stars. This was one of the best experiences we’ve done. Tere is super friendly and chatty and her cooking skills are out of this world. We had the best evening with the best company on her charming house boat.
5/5 from Mandeep Matharu, attended May 2025: Tere is lovely - very welcoming and friendly. She is generous in sharing her own knowledge and lots of top tips while demonstrating the delicious dishes using authentic ingredients. We are all inspired to make them at home. Loved the location. Different. Personal. Memorable.
5/5 from Louis Cooomber, attended Apr 2025: What a wonderful way to kick off my Saturday! I learned new preparation techniques and helped cook an absolutely delicious lunch. There was plenty to eat and in such a nice setting. Tere was an excellent host and a brilliant conversationalist. This style of class felt more personal than your standard cooking class and I loved it. It was a perfect present for my best bud, he loved it too! Couldn’t recommend enough!
5/5 from Rhiannon Marley, attended Apr 2025: 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!
5/5 from Tiffany Man, attended Apr 2025: Tere was amazing! She was informative and personable and we picked up some great tips. We really enjoyed listening to her stories and it really added to the atmosphere. Tippi was adorable so deserves a mention too! Would recommend booking with Tere as she was super helpful with directions on the day and made sure the session was seamless.

5/5 from Robert Edwards, attended Apr 2025: Teacher Tere was very interesting and knowledgeable and my wife and I had a great time. I thought there might be a bit more hands on but it didn't detract from the experience. Would definitely consider another class with her.
