"An extraordinary feast!"

Andrew; I wanted to let you know how very impressed all of our guests were by the extraordinary feast you provided last Saturday. It was beyond my expectations and made for a remarkable evening for all of us. I don't know how you and Simon combined military efficiency with a relaxed professional approach to the whole thing, so please accept thanks from us both for the evening.

Indian Cooking Classes in Derbyshire 5 Star Cookery Class Review
""Why ring a takeaway...?"

...when you can learn how to create a 2 course Indian meal plus a homemade nann bread too? A friendly greating from Simon and once the formalities are done you are taken through to the kitchen wearing your new (borrowed) apron :blush:. It's a proper set up; your own work bench hob oven fridge etc. Everything is explained fully with tips on how to and why. Questions at any time. Our class was very relaxed, just the right speed. Throughly enjoyable. You wouldn't feel out of place going here alone or with friends. Thank you Simon... with your expertise I created a 2 course meal I could eat and be proud of & I have the recipe to do it all again at home.

Macaron Making Classes in Derbyshire 5 Star Cookery Class Review
Marvellous Macarons!

Fantastic tuition! ...level of experience wasn't a problem here - everything was well explained and everyone's work carefully, but subtly, monitored, to ensure success. Felt a little more pressured than courses I've been on at other places, but that's because this was everyone making the same thing, rather than the themed days where people follow different recipes. Everyone managed to turn out impressive looking macarons, and there were some great tips and tricks to take away from it. I got it as a Groupon deal, but it's good value even at full price.

MasterChef GB Cooking Videos 5 Star Cookery Class Review
"Move over Jamie..."

This guy is really good - not just at cooking, but he's funny with it to boot while at the same time not coming over as an egotistical maniac. I bought these videos for my wife (mainly) not expecting a great deal of them, but having watched the first one I watched them all. They're instructive and interesting and I hope Simon has some more in the can... or intends to do more. Preferably on the telly!

Just to say "Thanks..."

Andrew and I would like to express our thanks to you all at Coghlans for the absolutely fabulous catering provided for our 5oth / 70th birthday celebrations last Saturday, 11th June. From start to finish, the service you gave us was exemplary. The service the staff provided was extremely efficient; nothing was too much trouble. They were friendly, observant and discreet; I don't think I saw an empty glass all day! The food and the drinks were phenomenal and the compliments we received on your behalf were fantastic. They couldn't sing your praises enough.

The Party was a great success and this was certinly helped by all you at Coghlans. With much appreciation and best wishes.

Dear Andrew 
Just a quick note to say a huge thank you to you and all your team at Coghlans for your help and support both in the run up too and during our wedding day on November 23rd. It really was the best day of our lives and we keep receiving no end of compliments about the food and drinks and how smoothly everything ran on the day so a big thank you for that. It really was the best wedding food we have ever tasted!

All our thanks

Mr and Mrs Turnbull

Could not have asked for a more perfect wedding. Coghlans catered for us for our whole wedding weekend and they were amazing! Their food was absolutely stunning and the staff were awesome! I would recommend them to anyone wanting an extra special day.

 

We had tasting & wine sessions to select our menus and pretty much made them up; especially the hot food (Moroccan Tagine) provided during the evening reception. Many guests were staggered that the main course Wedding reception beef was so tender; considering the en-mass catering! Fantastic!!!

 

Coghlans provided an excellent service throughout our wedding. The attention to detail in the planning of the menus, including taking into account our personal preferences and advising on matching flavours, was second to none. On the day the quality of the food was simply sensational throughout.

 

Andrew and his team were informative and helpful throughout all pre-planning and with menu choices. The food was both beautifully 

Andrew and his team were informative and helpful throughout all pre-planning and with menu choices. The food was both beautifully presented and incredibly tasty and left every single guest commenting on each and every course throughout the day. All staff are both friendly and professional all day.

 

 Everything was perfect.

 

Amazing to work with Andrew and his team. Andrew made it very easy for us to have the unique menu we wanted and even invited us to a tasting evening though we had already booked him, highly recommended too.”

 

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Coghlans to any future brides and grooms. They made our day feel very special. Nothing was too much trouble and their staff were beyond professional. We felt extremely proud to be providing such fantastic food, drink and service to our friends and family. Thank you!
