<p>The idea for The Boatyard originated when local resident Rob Coughlan, co-owner of family-run business Coughlan Fuels, was seeking a new location for a solid fuel depot and came across the site next to the Cross River Ferry in Cobh.</p>
<p>Recognising the rising costs of solid fuel and likely decline in the industry over the next few years, he was inspired to diversify and create a container food market venture instead.</p>
<p>With an initial investment of over €100k and employing 15 people, The Boatyard is already planning even further expansion and employment opportunities with potential for farmer’s markets, craft fairs, delivery services, apps, and weatherproofing, on the near horizon.</p>
<p>The first five food containers to open at The Boatyard include:&nbsp;</p>
<p>● ROAST Coffee Cork – Cobh’s newest coffee container, with a convenient indoor seating area, serving speciality East Cork Drury Coffee, teas and locally made cakes and protein balls.</p>
<p>● Hansum – The second edition of the popular Cork Rotisserie Chicken outlet, owned by restaurateur Colin Ryan, serving a range of signature ciabattas, wraps, salads and sides made with local fresh ingredients. Expect a new Breakfast Ciabatta exclusive to The Boatyard soon.</p>
<p>● HOOK’D – A brand new fish and chips concept, brought to you by Rob Coughlan and Colin Ryan of Hansum, bringing the freshest fish straight off the trawler from Union Hall in West Cork, daily to Cobh.</p>

<p>● Bunz – A new gourmet burger food container, created by top Cork chefs Fergal Deasy and Paul O’Sullivan. Gourmet smashed beef patties made with the highest quality beef sourced from Cork’s finest farmers, topped with a variety of tasty ingredients – yum.</p>
<p>● Mama Bears – Bringing a sweet touch to the market, Mama Bears, by Fergal Deasy and Paul O’Sullivan, offers a delicious choice of ice cream, healthy granola and acai bowls, and smoothies and crepes.</p>

<p>At their recent passing out ceremony, graduates from the 45th potential NCOs Irish Naval Service donated an amazing €7,300 to the Mercy Hospital Foundation Kids + Teens Appeal from fundraising they undertook during their training. Their fundraising culminated in a 33km march from Roches Point to Cobh in full uniform with their 14kg backpacks – what an accomplishment! 👏👏</p>
<p>Donations to the Mercy Hospital Foundation Kids + Teens Appeal support a range of services that improve outcomes for our youngest patients including the Mercy Hospital’s Paediatric Oncology Outreach Nursing Service which provides essential care at home for young cancer patients.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>We cannot thank the members of this class enough for their generous donation and wish them all huge congratulations on their graduation.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Some of our littlest donors worked very hard last week collecting money for Cobh Hospital and came in last Friday to visit some of the residents, including Betty, Vicky and Pat here, in the garden and present them with their handmade card.</p>
<h3>We thank them for their hard work and generous support!</h3>
