You can receive current request in service: WebUtils.retrieveGrailsWebRequest().getCurrentRequest() And there will be field cookies as Array

Most of the grails' Controller entities are not exposed to services, for a reason: it does not belong there. Same reason why you can't use message(code: ..) in a service. Also, cookies exists whenever request exists which is not something that you can have in a service. Some background job could call your service for example. Your BootStrap could make a service call when application starts. Its simply not on the http-layer.

You could pass your request (HttpServletRequest) to your service in a method call and then in the service use getCookies() or similar method, or you can do all http-related stuff in a Controller.
