Private Dining

Private Dining

For those who wish to enjoy the luxury of totally private and exclusive dining, Coghlans promises a truly memorable experience. The superb private dining room is furnished to the highest standards, offering a flexible, high-quality-venue suitable for any special occasion - from family gatherings and celebration to corporate events.

Diners are invited to simply sit back, relax and enjoy Coghlans delicious food and exemplary service as provided by the experienced and professional front of house team.

The superb food selection - chosen from our extensive private dining menus - can be tailored to meet the specific personal tastes of diners. In-house wine experts will assist in the choice of wines to compliment and enhance the selected food. The wine choice is extensive and available direct at retail prices from our sister company Barrels & Bottles

Coghlans Private Dining is available for up to 20 guests, with a minimum party of six. Bookings are available for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Wine Tasting Events

Wine Tasting Events

A wine tasting event in conjunction with our sister company Barrels & Bottles makes for a great social event for friends, colleagues, staff and clients. Group sizes from 16 to 50 can be catered for in-house. Please see beneath for details of events at your own and alternate venues.

Wine tasting events can be along any theme and geared towards the level of kowledge for the group. Food can be arranged from bread and cheese right through to a full dinner service. A popular theme is our New World v Old World tasting and fun quiz with prizes for the winnng team.

You get to try the wines with proper tasting measures and learn about the wine, its makers, the styles and what the recognised tastes and bouquets are. Informing you about the wine without lecturing at the same time.

Unlike some wine tasting groups, we do not operate a pressure selling campaign throughout the evening. We do offer substantial discounts and offers on the day and we let the wine sell itself. If you do not want to buy anything at the end of the night you are under no obligations whatsoever. We pride ourselves on having fun, snob free wine tasting events..

    Many thanks...

    Just had the new Sellars delivered and they're much better- thanks so much for going to that trouble for me. Its rare these days that internet companies will strive to deliver this level of service... I appreciate that very much and am very happy.


    Kind Regards, Jenny

    Happy cooking...

    Thank-you for the excellent course last Saturday. I thoroughly enjoyed myself (although I was shattered when I got home). The pace was just right and the atmosphere was laid back and fun, but still professional.
