Carlotta Fraser has always been interested in food, its’ presentation and service and so to that end after leaving school, studied for, and qualified with an HND in Catering and Hotel Keeping at Napier College in Edinburgh.

In 1986 she decided to set up an outside catering business (Carlotta’s Catering Services) in Edinburgh based on providing quality food and a reliable service. She quickly gained a large number of both private and corporate clients, who regularly used the service on offer. The business was sold in 2001 to a larger Edinburgh based company who planned to develop and expand on the excellent client base.

Carlotta and her husband Craig bought and ran the Lochearnhead Hotel for a short time before moving to an established bed and breakfast establishment (Ardlochay Lodge) from where they also run the catering business.

Cookery Demonstrations and Courses

Carlotta Fraser, well known for providing a quality outside catering service is diversifying. New for this year, she is going to share some of her knowledge and expertise, in the form of small, informal, but structured demonstrations and courses at her spacious kitchen in Killin.

Courses will range from single sessions through to one day a week for six weeks, where you can learn to prepare and cook something new, and impress your friends and relatives.

Themes already planned include:

“Forget dieting – just get into the way of eating healthily”
“Eating Seasonally”
“Cooking for the Terrified !!”
“Back to Basics”
“Dinner Party Cooking”
and “Men Only”

So whether you have never cooked before, or just want to increase your repertoire, Carlotta can offer something for you. She hopes to show that cooking and eating well, doesn’t have to be difficult, expensive or time consuming. Classes will be for a maximum of six people, and will appeal to individuals or small groups of friends alike.

Carlotta and her husband, Craig, also run a Bed and Breakfast business from their home in Killin, and are hoping to also offer residential courses.

As she had done previously, if you are a group or society, and have a larger number of people, Carlotta will come to your venue instead and give a demonstration.

I was very sorry not to get to meet you today. My sisters day went fantastically well and in no small part to your incredible food! It looked fabulous and the feedback was amazing. I can’t thank you enough.

We would just like to wish you a very Happy New Year and say a huge thank you for the feast that you provided us with at the wedding! It was just spectacular and we have had so many complements from our guests. There certainly wasn't an empty tummy in the house! I am sorry that I didn't make it into the kitchen to say hello but I was thinking the whole time what an amazing job you were doing. I would not hesitate to recommend you to other people and will surely keep you in mind for the future.

Being new to using outside caterers we were naturally apprehensive but from our first meeting where we went through the various menu options and during any subsequent communications Carlotta put us entirely at ease. On the day of the party she duly appeared with crockery, cutlery and a mountain of food which disappeared into the kitchen. By the time our guests arrived it had reappeared on the dining room table tastefully presented. Carlotta and her assistant Gwenda handed out the tasty canapes while drinks were being served, and then helped the guests choose the delicious hot or cold dishes once the buffet was served. The final bit of magic was the way the dishes, food, mess - everything vanished once the party was over. Excellent evening.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you from myself and Craig. The food on Saturday was incredible and everyone loved it. We had such an amazing day and it was great that we didn't have to worry about anything as you and your staff were so on the ball. Couldn't believe how clean the kitchen was! Thanks so much again!

Hayley and Craig

Thank you for a wonderful meal for our wedding, it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. We had a really special day, and thank you for contributing to it. It has been a great experience from start to finish, so thank you for making this part so easy.
