Amazing Experience!

The lads were very welcoming, interesting and great fun. We learnt a lot, made beautiful chocolate and ate and drank lots of chocolate. Amazing morning. Thank you Irene x

Delicious Afternoon

Excellent afternoon with Kevin. Learned a lot about making chocolate and how fiddly it is. Delicious hot chocolate kept us going. Was very pleased with the results (and so were my friends who tasted them!)

Wedding Favours

Kevin and Adam were so helpful when we were designing our wedding favours with them. We opted for a small chocolate bar with a personalised sticker. The chocolate bars looked great on the tables, and all our guests thoroughly enjoyed their chocolate.

A Fantastic Time!

I booked a private Chocolate Making Workshop for my daughter’s birthday, and we had a fantastic time. Kevin and Adam made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish and were so knowledgable and welcoming. I’d definitely book another!
